Not Crazy Yet? Then . . . Start Talking to Yourself Differently

Green language describes what is real in our lives rather than labels or judges any event, process, or person. The use of Green Language activates the prefrontal cortex and related areas in the human brain and steers the attention of the speakers and hearers into the be-here-now moment, the moment where choices for goal-direction action are made. To live Green is to live owning, aware that I am responsible (response-able) for my own choices while fostering conditions for others to experience the same awareness. This results in one being in-control rather than being control-ing . The Victim-Rescuer-Persecutor (Red Language) approach to speaking and thinking activates the amygdala in the human brain to see the world and oneself in an on-going flight-or-fight drama of right vs. wrong, good vs. bad, should vs. should not. The focus of 'VRP' thinking and speaking is to be right and dominate rather than to be and reach consensus.
