Watch Your Words! How To Speak Your Way To Success
Words have the power to create worlds, shape our reality and influence the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. The language we use can either propel us towards our goals or hold us back. In the Bible, Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat it’s fruits”. When we're constantly striving to be our best selves and achieve our dreams, we must pay attention to the words we use, both to ourselves and to others. In this blog post, we’ll explore the power of positive words and how they can help us achieve our goals.
Your Words Shape Your Reality: The words you use have a direct impact on your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Positive words can uplift your spirits, boost your confidence, and help you focus on the good things in life. On the other hand, negative words can drag you down, make you feel helpless, and create a sense of hopelessness. Proverbs 21:23 says “Whoever guards his tongue keeps his soul from troubles”. Don’t give yourself trouble! For example, instead of saying "I don't have enough money to start my own business," you can say "I'm working on building my wealth so I can start my own business."
Positive Words Attract Positive Energy: The energy you project into the world is what you're going to attract. If you use positive words and have a positive outlook on life, you'll attract positivity into your life. By contrast, negative words and attitudes will keep you in a negative cycle. When you speak positively, you're more likely to engage in positive acts and experiences that will benefit you. For example, instead of saying "I'm never going to find love," you can say "I'm excited to meet someone new and share my life with them."
Positive Words Boost Your Confidence: Positive self-talk can do wonders for your self-esteem and confidence. When you speak positively to yourself, you're telling yourself that you believe in your abilities and that you're capable of achieving success. This can be especially impactful when you're facing challenges or setbacks. Instead of beating yourself up for failure, you can say things like "I'm tough, I can handle this," or "I've got this, I can do better next time."
Positive Words Have Physical Effects: Did you know that the words you use can impact your physical health? As a nurse, I have seen this firsthand. Positive words have been shown to reduce stress, improve sleep, boost the immune system, and even help with healing. Negative words, on the other hand, can trigger the release of stress hormones, which can wreak havoc on your body and mind. So, if you want to improve your overall health and well-being, start speaking positively to yourself and those around you.
Positive Words Inspire Action: Finally, positive words can inspire action. When we hear someone speak positively about their dreams, goals, and aspirations, it can motivate us to take action towards our own. By sharing our positive thoughts and aspirations with others, we can create a ripple effect of positivity that can inspire others to take charge of their lives too. So, the next time you're feeling stuck or uninspired, try sharing your positive beliefs with those around you and see how it inspires them.
Questions for reflection: What kinds of words are you speaking over your life every day? How do you feel when you speak good words versus bad words about yourself ?
In conclusion, the words we use have the power to shape our reality and influence the way we experience life. By using positive words, we can uplift ourselves and those around us and create a more positive world. So, let’s choose our words carefully and speak our way to success. Remember, your words have the power to create, inspire, and transform your life, so choose them wisely. So follow me along on A Fantastic Journey.
