Naming
What is in a name?
Turns out, quite a bit Juliet.
The act of labelling, giving a name to a cognitive state, has significant impact on your ability to process and make decisions.
Think of what you unconsciously do when you bump your elbow or stub your toe.
You grab, hold, and rub the area of pain.
The act of physical touch with somatic pain is analogous to labelling with cognitive states.
The difference is you do not unconsciously “reach” to label cognitive states as naturally as somatic states.
Naming it enables a shift in neural pathways that allows a fundamental pivot in cognitive processing.
Thoughtful leaders leverage the skill of labelling to generate certainty and action for their team.
