If you do that, I will gladly return the favour!Do you often catch yourself using the same tired words like “astonishing” and “astounding” to describe everything from your morning coffee to that last-minute vacation you took?
Ever notice how silly it sounds when we overuse the word “incredible”?
Seriously, it’s like we’ve all got a case of “incredible-itis.”
Everything is incredible these days –
- your breakfast burrito,
- your friend’s new haircut,
- even that puppy you watched for the hundredth time.
At this rate, “incredible” has lost all its, well, incredibleness!
Well, if that sounds like you, then buckle up because you are in exactly the right place!
