Funeral Directors<br />

This term itself is a major piece of Transformational Vocabulary. What did they used to be called?<br />

Undertakers. Then they became morticians, and now they're funeral directors, a term most people find<br />

a little easier to take...<br />

Shake 'n' Bake: Cremation without a funeral home service. Usage: "Oh, this guy's just a Shake 'n'<br />

Bake."<br />

Peekaboo: A brief viewing of the body and short service, usually involving only family members.<br />

SWAT Teams<br />

Avon Calling: Blowing open a door with a shotgun.<br />

Lawyers<br />

Shopper: A financially dependent spouse with no personal income, as in "She'll need a ton of alimony.<br />

She's a shopper."<br />

Bombers: Divorce lawyers who seek to destroy the opposing spouse by setting all of the assets for<br />

their own client.<br />

Tanning Salons<br />

Caspers: Pale-skinned customers. (Derived from Casper the Friendly Ghost)<br />

Iguanas: Overly tanned, leathery customers.<br />

FROM TINKLED TO TURBO-CHARGED<br />

What would your life be like if you could take all the negative emotions you ever felt and lower their<br />

intensity so they didn't impact you as powerfully, so you were always in charge? What would your life<br />

be like if you could take the most positive emotions and intensify them, thereby taking your life to a<br />

higher level? You can do both of these in a heartbeat. Here's your first assignment.<br />

Take a moment right now, and write down three words that you currently use on a regular basis to<br />

make yourself feel lousy (bored, frustrated, disappointed, angry, humiliated, hurt, sad, and so forth).<br />

Whatever words you choose, be sure they are ones that you use regularly to disempower yourself. To<br />

discover some of the words you need to transform, ask yourself, "What are some negative feelings I<br />

have on a consistent basis?"<br />

Next, having identified these three words, have some fun. Put yourself in a crazy and outrageous state<br />

and brainstorm some new words that you think you could use to either break your pattern or at least<br />

lower your emotional intensity in some way. Let me give you a clue on how to select some words that<br />

will really work for you over the long term. Remember that your brain loves anything that gets you out<br />

of pain and into pleasure, so pick a word that you'll want to use in place of the old, limiting one. One of<br />

the reasons I used "peeved" or "a bit annoyed" instead of "angry" is that they sound so ridiculous. It's<br />

a total pattern interrupt for me and anyone who's listening to me, and since I love to break patterns, I<br />

get a lot of fun and pleasure out of using these words. Once you get results like that, I guarantee
