Words - Powerful Words

Words are such powerful things and they just roll out of our faces every day, sometimes without thinking.

They can be Positive or Negative. True or UnTrue. Helpful or Destroying. Kind or Thoughtless.

Even words we blurt out in a sudden bit of emotion can be chosen. Ever cut your finger and you blurt out "Ouch"? Why didn't you say "Carpet" ?? Because you were taught that "Ouch" was the appropriate response to pain and you chose to say that when you feel pain.

How we say them can make all the difference in the world. Your voice inflection and word emphasis can change a phrase from Negative to Positive in an instant. Think about the question "What are you doing?"

Say it with the emphasis on ARE and with angry inflection. "What ARE you doing?"



Now say it with an upswing in your voice at the end, "What are you doing?"

So you can see how your words can create the atmosphere of the conversation.
Think now about someone you know that is always positive, they say positive things, their voice is always pleasant, they know how to control their anger and don't let it destroy them. How is it to be around that person? A bad experience?
NO!
You probably feel 'drawn' to be near that person as much as you can!
Now think of a negative person, never happy, never satisfied, always whining and complaining. Yuk, its like something is making you want to run from them, stay away from them.
Words CREATE!
So, how can you take words and create what you WANT and DESIRE in your life?
Affirmations are a great way. You can see in the left sidebar of my blog there are constantly changing affirmations in various categories. Check here often, write them down, say them as a daily mantra. Choose one per day or one per week and let it resonate your mind and spirit. Let it start to change you.
Don't think it will work? (OOhh thats negative!) Give it a try! Be open minded! Don't you WANT peace and abundance?
C'mon, I dare ya to try it......
