Speak affirmatively & strengthen from within
Sunday, October 21, 2007 at 9:19PM To raise your awareness about how you speak and when has the potential to transform your life. You may be unaware how you create your mindset. What are you waiting for? How would you like to change? Listen to what you say. You will be amazed at the nature of what you applaud and when you reprimand. Many people are unaware of their own self-criticism and the choice to stop doing it.
Consider how you react to your experiences. If you walk into a wall or run your hand into a doorknob in passing, what kinds of words do you use to describe yourself? If you forget to run an errand or fail at your new venture, are you positive or negative? Do you feel angry and punish yourself or, do you immediately forgive yourself? All you say is shaping your character.
Think about when you apply for a promotion or other opportunities. If the result is not in your favor, do you assume you did something wrong or, aren't good enough? Do you imagine the worst case scenario? Or, do you recognize you're simply meant for other more suitable opportunities? Whatever your attitude, however your life vision arises, you either pump up or deflate your ego.
Reflect on the progression of your relationships. Do you constantly sense mistakes, insecurity, inadequacy and lack, or, are you the type of person who recognizes value and blessings to be found and retained from each experience? Speak positively about everyone and see what happens.
If you sincerely desire to realize dreams, then you must evolve to chose words that reinforce your intentions. The words you utter reinforce images you create on the inside. They build up and strengthen your confidence or, they slowly chip away at your self worth and purpose until you doubt yourself. No matter what stage you're at, you're capable of using more positive words that enable you to feel good. tell yourself you are beautiful, intelligent, talented and more. Declare good things about yourself and your life. Express gratitude. Words you use have the power to transform.
"Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there." -Marcus Antoninus
