Use Empowering Words When You Talk to Yourself
(Whether you are speaking out loud or silently)
Do you use the words “can’t”, “won’t”, “don’t need to”, “why try”? Many people do!

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 know always what’s real or not unless you tell it. Your brain just files this information for reference, its data, little zeroes and ones, and no column that asks “true or not true?” Your brain thinks, based on what you told it.
Words can be empowering. Now, what if we instead told our brain:

Words can be empowering. Now, what if we instead told our brain:
- I can
- I love to
- I want to
- I willI 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 first hand that it takes time. And I also know that it’s worth it.
Try it for a week. Catch yourself saying, “I can’t”, when you don’t really mean it and instead 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 and they become a habit (an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary).
They say 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.
