Yes, your words are powerful! Your words can create your world and how you respond to it. Words are how we identify ourselves, others, and our relationship to our world. Our words, our self-talk, are also how we relate to ourselves.
They can shape our relationships with ourselves and others. Words also have the power to build up or tear down, have a sunny day or a stormy one. Words even carry vibrations! That’s why words are sometimes sung or chanted. The vibration is amplified.
I remember reading the book What to Say When You Talk to Yourself by Shad Helmstetter. I was in a lost, depressed time in my life and was searching for meaning, and I found a guide in this book. You can create the life you want by becoming aware of your thoughts. Are they positive and lead to a life you want? Or are they negative and lead to being depressed and pessimistic? We have over 10,000 thoughts a day. Are you aware of all of them? Probably not, yet these thoughts, along with our verbalized words, create our life and our experience and perception of it.

We spend most of our time in our heads, yet we let our thoughts run amok. Often, we forget to stop and pause to be aware of not only our thoughts but also the words that come out of our mouths, and then we wonder why life isn’t what we say we want. It is one thing to purposefully say in positive terms what we want and another to have 100 thoughts contradicting that one spoken thought. Which do you think will have more power? Individually, the spoken one, yet the 100 contradicting thoughts end up having more creative power, and that’s really how you see and experience the world.
I often recommend recording the positive thoughts you want and playing them on repeat all the time you’re sleeping so your subconscious can re-write those contradicting thoughts and assist you in creating the life you want.
If you’d like some tips on how to do this, please feel free to contact me.
The idea is to focus our thoughts and words on what we actually want and can control or affect. Especially those thoughts that pertain to what we believe about ourselves. I knew someone who, as a child, enjoyed the creative aspect of art and was rather good at it for their age. One day, an authority figure told them their creation was horrible, and the person after that believed that lie and adopted the thought/belief that they were not good at and never enjoyed art.
There are two parts to this story I can go into now, and if you look within, there’s more. 1) Words can tear yourself and others down. 2) Know yourself and remind yourself of your abilities and gifts. I can’t tell you how many children let go of an aspect of their glorious, divine self because they took on someone else’s negative words and made them their own. What a travesty! Can you relate to that? Have you ever stopped doing something you loved that made your heart sing because of someone else’s negative words? Have you ever done that to someone else because your ego wanted to?
Our words have immense power! Be vigilant about what you think and say. Your words and thoughts create your life and contribute to the world’s energy. Let’s make a commitment to pause and connect with Spirit as we check into what we think and before we speak so we can speak with love, compassion, and respect.
Love and Light,
