In the world of business coaching and time management, we often focus on systems, tools, and techniques. However, there’s a powerful element that many entrepreneurs overlook: the physical impact of how we talk about time. Your body doesn’t just hear your words—it lives them. So what is the body language connection?
As a business coach working with thousands of entrepreneurs, I’ve discovered something fascinating: your body has a visceral reaction to how you speak about time. This reaction directly impacts your productivity, decision-making ability, and ultimately, your business success.
When you use phrases like:
– “I don’t have time”
– “I’m too busy”
– “I’m running behind”
Your body immediately responds with:
– Tensed shoulders
– Constricted chest
– Shallow breathing
– Digestive tension
– Decreased energy
– Elevated cortisol levels
– Reduced cognitive function
These physical responses trigger your sympathetic nervous system—your “fight or flight” response—creating a cascade of stress hormones that inhibit clear thinking and strategic decision-making.
Conversely, when you shift to empowering phrases like:
– “I choose my time”
– “I’m selective with my priorities”
– “I’m creating space”
Your body responds with:
– Relaxed shoulders
– Open chest
– Deep, regular breathing
– Improved digestion
– Increased energy
– Balanced hormones
– Enhanced cognitive function
Research in neuroscience shows that your nervous system responds to language as if it were experiencing physical reality. When you consistently use stress-based time language, you’re essentially keeping your body in a constant state of low-grade emergency.
