Power of the Spoken Word

Today I wanted to remind us all of the power of the spoken word. I often advocate for the use of affirmations and different types of meditations as part of our daily practice — and I still consider this an extremely important part of our creating the success we desire in our lives.

There is something, however, that has a much more lasting and continual effect, and that is the content and quality of our spoken word. When it is said that you create your own reality, it is not simply through meditation and mental picturing — those are only techniques to firmly ingrain a set of beliefs in your awareness. It is also, even primarily, through the words we choose to describe ourselves and our circumstances.

When we understand the power we have to create ourselves and the world around us, we become much careful in how we choose to speak. Statements such as, “I’m no good at math”, “I’m always late”, “I never win anything” or “I have a terrible memory”, serve to create and sustain that very reality.

But instead of writing further on the subject myself, I will direct you to an excellent set of posts written on the topic already.

The first post covers the various ways we might be influenced and asks us to be aware of what thoughts and beliefs we are readily accepting into our awareness. It was written by Mark of The Naked Soul – an insightful and interesting blog that is not to be missed.

The second post deals directly with seeding your mind with the correct thoughts and beliefs through the conscious use of powerful words. The post comes from the Million Dollar blog and lists 12 simple ways to empower your words and your life. A site definitely worth subscribing to.

As always, seeing is believing and believing is achieving. Seeing you enjoying a wonderful, happy and blessed day!

Writing to our success,
