| AWESOME: WORD ELIMINATION DIET |
Last week I overheard—actually I was eavesdropping— a casual conversation among a bunch of 20 something’s. I heard the word AWESOME two thousand times—OK, maybe it was a thousand times, but who’s counting?
· “Oh, that song is soooo AWESOME!”
· “WOW: you look AWESOME!”
· “How are you?” Response: “I’m AWESOME!”
· “That movie was AWESOME!”
· “I can’t believe how AWESOME your new dress is!”
Sneezing uncontrollably, I was having an AWESOME allergic reaction. I felt light-headed—a type of brain fog that usually only sets in after you’ve eaten a box of cookies.
Sage ‘sneezes’ the moment: I knew it was time—overtime to take some action; a new word diet was born:
The AWESOME Elimination Diet
The Awesome Elimination Diet: FACTS
· Brain nourishment: watch your vocabulary soar to new heights
· More energy through elimination of the toxic word
· Opportunities to grow and thrive as your conversations become more alive—even nuanced!
AWESOME Support: I know how hard it is to wean yourself from an overused word; fortunately, you won’t have to deal with the symptoms of word deprivation—stellar replacement words are plentiful.
Awesome Elimination Diet includes Replacement Words
1. Very impressive
2. Stunning
3. Unforgettable
4. Magnificent
5. Wildly exciting
Harm Reduction Approach:
Relapse is normal—if you slip into AWESOME occasionally—it’s not the end of the world. Our approach: Harm Reduction. When you slip, choose a substitute word as part of your recovery. And please-- don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ll get there!
Finally, ‘ALs’—once you are in the Maintenance Phase of the awesome elimination diet, don’t be surprised if your sentences sound something like this:
“Overall, I enjoyed the movie, however there were several scenes I found confusing.”
What do ya say, bubbelas--are you ready to take the plunge? FREE or your MONEY back!
