“You’re an idiot!”

That’s one of the things said by Japanese Researcher Masaru Emoto to one of the glass beakers he was conducting experiments on.

And you will be surprised at how it turned out.

In the 1900s, Emoto conducted a series of experiments observing the effects of words on water. One of his known experiments was the Rice Experiment, and that’s what we will be talking about here.

He had 3 glass beakers of the same sizes filled with equal amounts of rice and water. And then, everyday for 30 days, he said:

“Thank you” to the first beaker,
“You’re an idiot!” to the second,
And the third, he just completely ignored it.

The result?

The rice on the first beaker started to ferment.
The second one turned black.
The third started to rot.

Emoto came up with a conclusion that:

Our words and intentions can affect even the most benign of substances – either positively or negatively.

Now for transparency, scientists have had some issues recreating this experiment…

But it’s an interesting thought experiment
on how your internal landscape and nervous system responds to certain language.

This is one of the reasons that being in a environment of growth is important.
Because without a supportive environment it’s difficult to thrive.

And that's what the Sports Model Project is all about -

We live by principles including: “Radical self-growth:

I am committed to my ongoing and never ending growth.

I am committed to observing my thoughts, words and actions and my reactions to them without judgment or needing to “do” anything.”

Another principle we live by: “Radical Community:

I am committed to the ongoing growth of the other women in SMP. I will help them understand, embody and live out these principles.

…in my family, work, gym, friends and social environment.

I am committed to helping people live these principles too.”

So now…
