Personal Empowerment

How do you talk to yourself? Do you use words like: "can't", "won't", "don't need to", "why try?"

Do you find that what you say to yourself turns out to be true? Why is this?

You see, your brain is like a computer that you feed each day. It doesn't always know what is real or what is not unless you tell it so.

If someone you love has hurt you, you may tell yourself that all people who love you will probably hurt you too. Your brain will file this information for future reference, it's just data with no column that asks "true or false". Now your brain thinks, based on what you fed it, that everyone you will ever love will hurt you. How do you think you will respond the next time you fall in love?

Now, what if we instead told our brain: "Okay, this person ripped my heart out but that's only one person. I'm lovable and have many loving people in my life who are not out to hurt me. I know that the right people are coming into my life all the time. If someone hurts me, I will forgive them and give them my blessings."

Words can be empowering.
I can
I love to
I want to
I will
I must
I am

We can reach a new level of living if we feed ourselves empowering words and practice saying them until they become a habit. I know it first hand that it takes time. And I also know that it's worth it. Try it for a week.

The next time you catch yourself saying, "I can't" when you don't really mean it, try "I can" and see how you think and feel about yourself.

Remember, the words you use to empower yourself will have a lasting effect only if you practice them until they become a habit. It’s said that it takes at least 28 days to develop a habit. After a week, you will see that it becomes easier.

It's a mindset and you can control your thoughts. Be proactive and not reactive - give yourself some good words.

Dream big and empower yourself! Believe you can and you will.
