I went to a party recently.

Since I knew many people there, conversations were smooth and quick. Apart from great food, elegant hosting, and nice anniversary decorations, something else caught my attention. It was two people and their responses to the same question.

Me: Hi, how are you?

Person #1: I am good.

Person #2: I am great!

I didn’t think much of it in that moment. And without thinking, I found myself interacting more with Person #2. I was glad to find someone new who was enthusiastic and had great opinions on many matters.

It was when I got back home. At night after I was settled on my bed, I began thinking: What was it about Person #2 that made me connect naturally? What was it about her that built an instant connection?

After a few minutes of reflection, I was surprised. I never thought the answer to a mundane question could be such an amazing gateway to a heartfelt conversation.

When I had asked her how she was, she responded I am great! whereas the other person had used the word good (I am good).

It was the difference of two words used that made the difference: Good and Great.

When Person #1 said good, I did not feel anything.

When Person #2 said great, I instantly felt a rush of energy within. A warm flow of enthusiasm took me over.

I smiled on my bed. How one word can put life in the moment and how another word can take it out!

Choose high-energy words for effective communication

Well, I never went to such a party and never met these two people, But I definitely had thousands of conversations that started with a simple sentence: How are you?

Have you ever felt the need to check in on your answer to this simple silly question? Did you ever feel anything once the person you are talking to responded in a lazy/energetic way?

If you haven’t and didn’t, then today is your lucky day.

Because we are going to learn something very interesting: High-Energy Words and Low-Energy Words.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH-ENERGY WORDS AND LOW-ENERGY WORDS

High–energy words are exactly what they sound – They carry high energy. When used, the speaker and the listener both feel a rush of enthusiasm in their bodies.

Examples of high-energy words are amazing, fantastic, great, stunning, awesome, breathtaking, splendid, and so on.

As you must have guessed by now, low-energy words are the exact opposite. They pull the energy out of the speaker and the listener’s bodies when used.

Examples of low-energy words are okay, alright, well, fine, good, and so on.

Next time you are at a gathering (not in the fictional one that I just took you to), try this. Ask someone how are you and observe the shift in your energy once they respond, even if it is the slightest.

Or, try it yourself! When someone else asks you the same question, deflect from your usual boring monotonous reaction of I am fine/All is well/Life is good, and try I am great/All is pretty well/Life is amazing!

You are welcome!

BENEFITS OF USING HIGH-ENERGY WORDS

There are numerous benefits of using high-energy words or phrases.

  • It helps you build an instant connection with your audience
  • It makes communication easier and smoother
  • It breaks the atmosphere of anxiety and brings calm
  • It helps you build credibility and trust with your audience
  • It makes you feel amazing and energetic 
  • Injects life in conversations

FINAL WORD

We all do it. Fixing frequently asked questions with monotonous routine responses without ever thinking of the impact it might have on us and others. Today you change it. 

Use high-energy words wherever it is possible. They bring enthusiasm along with the possibility to look at daily life from a new perspective. High-energy words zap you with passion and creativity. They make you think. They make you bend the rules and refine them in something new.

High-energy words can be your new go-to energy drink. Use them next time you are having a conversation at a party and come back here to tell me how it went.
