"We need to watch the language that we're using because not only can we be really, really hard on ourselves, but if we're throwing something out into the universe, and then we're using words like 'try' or 'maybe' or 'might', we are basically telling the universe that we're not actually too sure about that."
Today is all about the words we use on a daily basis, and how they hold so much power. The biggest word I talk about is the word "try". It is one word that I, myself, am making a conscious effort daily to try and remove from my vocabulary. If you are using the word 'try', you are subtly implying to yourself that there's a good chance that you're not going to do it. As much as you might have good intentions, you are probably not going to actually be able to accomplish whatever it is that you're setting out to do. It's time to stop being so hard on yourself, or speaking about your dreams as if they are just that.
So, we're going to chat a bit about:
- Being conscious of the words we use when in conversation, writing in our journals/blogs, etc, or speaking to ourselves.
- The actual importance of that old saying your mom used to use, "Be careful what you wish for!"
- Keeping promises to ourselves and doing the things we said we were going to do!
- How this all affects our self integrity, self trust, and just our overall daily experiences.
Also, don't forget that the Speak your Truth Academy doors are now OPEN! This is going to be an amazing 12 week long journey with myself and 11 other women (Sorry guys!) where we dig deep into your story. What your story is, how to tell it, how to share it, and how you can build your entire business around it. You can find the link below in the show notes to jump over, and get in now.
