Welcome back! We’re talking about living life in alignment with the highest good by bringing awareness to our thoughts, words, and actions. Today we are talking about our words!

Now. Imagine, if every word you ever spoke was a prayer. What if every complaint you ever voiced went up like a mantra and came right back like a boomerang?

Believe it or not, there’s a lot of truth to this, our words are offerings. They are like prayers & are full of power to impress our subconscious mind. And as a reminder, the subconscious is not impressed only with words but rather by emotion, so in truth is really doesn’t matter what you’re saying, but rather how it is making you feel and how it is making those around you feel.

More so than our subconscious, words draw our attention to whatever it is we are talking about, and our attention is a very powerful motivator in life. Attention is the opposite of distraction.

Furthermore we know from experience that when we complain or speak words that disempower us, our body responds in a physical way with our emotions. The words have an effect on us and on the people we are talking to in a very real way. We understand there is quite a lot of power in our words! It’s pretty obvious.

But the reason words are important for this discussion is because they are the surface level externalization of what’s really going on on the inside.

When talking with someone, you get a pretty good idea of their beliefs and passions just from what they are saying. So in the same way, we can learn a lot about ourselves by listening to the words that come out of our mouth.

This is an easy place to begin with awareness. Because the words we speak are proof of the inner conversation that we are having inside of our minds & truly our thoughts are at the core of the way we show up in our life, but it can be challenging to watch our thoughts, it’s something we must practice. Words on the other hand can be an easy place to start to have an idea of what’s on the inside. Through our conversations with others, we can understand what kind of conversation we’re having with ourselves too, whether it’s an empowering or disempowering one. 

And it’s important for growth to only listen and believe the inner conversation if it is being spoken from the true self, your core being, your center, the spirit of your being which is total love and nothing less than.  You'll be able to tell which inner voice you are listening to by the emotions that you feel. Any negative emotion is the past self that you no longer want to identify with. If it's a emotion stemming from love, you can be sure that this is in alignment with your true self, because those powerful emotions of love and gratitude carry the most weight when it comes to realizing the true self and growing from that centered place.

Changing the way we habitually speak is a vital tool we must embrace because every time we feel the after effects of what we’ve said, those emotions, these are an indicator that we have just made a vibratory offering. Because we offer up the vibration of our lives with emotions. Those feelings are the vibes we send out. They go beyond words; our vibes are the true communicators; our emotions are our true prayers.

Now it’s not that Infinite Intelligence doesn’t understand our prayers!! Infinite Intelligence and misunderstanding just don’t fit together! But what is happening is that we cannot be answered in the way we desire when we are not ready for it. When we are living out the seeds of faith, watering those desires with delicious nutrients, that’s when we reap the harvest of answered prayer. But praying one thing for 15 min in the mornings while living out another thing the rest of the day is like watering those seeds with poison. What you live out on the regular is that which you are planting and harvesting in your life. Your regular every day to day emotions is what is training your mind and body to react a certain way or see from a particular perspective.  It’s what is consistent in our life that pulls the most weight in our experience.

One negative word won’t drag down your whole life, especially if you’re speaking empowering words on the regular. But one positive affirmation won’t make a difference if the rest of your day is full of complaining. We want to speak like we’ve learned the lesson. We want to offer up more words of gratitude throughout our day! 

Here’s 4 Practical Ways to Change Our Speech 

#1 Connect With Your Truest Self

Connect with your truest self, the self you were as a child before any conditioning, the self that’s still there underneath any false identity you may have embraced. This true self wants to speak truth!

You have a voice! (see further info on this here)

Perhaps you have some words of encouragement for another, or you have something to say that is personal that you’re not sure how others will respond to. This is the time to feel the fear and say it anyways! Don’t hold inside what needs to be said, don’t let fear hold you back. Even if it’s a hard thing to say, like creating boundaries for yourself with a loved one, so long as it is said in love, you are ready to let your true voice shine!

# 2 Pause

Another way to change our speech so that it is in alignment with The Highest Good and the Divine dream for our lives is that whenever we are in conversation with another and we are asked a question about a sensitive or touchy subject, we pause.

We pause and think, “how can I answer this in a way that leaves me feeling empowered and doesn’t cause negative emotions to arise?”

And you answer their question about your current situation from a place of faith, from a perspective of what it would be like if your prayers were already answered. (Prayers as in, you desired circumstance.)

And this doesn’t mean you lie to them, but it does mean you don’t allow your mind to find the worst case scenario and answer this touchy subject question in a way that harms your forward momentum.  If that means you say, “I’d rather not talk about it, can we change the subject?” So be it. But I’m sure your creative mind could come up with a way to answer that leaves you both feeling optimistic  

#3 Replace Certain Words

Another way to have more congruent speech is to replace certain words, this is kinda like the last tactic, but basically whenever you are talking to others or having an inner dialog, choose words that make you feel empowered. An example would be replacing the word “hard” or “struggle” with “challenging”.

Another example would be replacing the word “problem” with “looking for a solution” or “Ready for a solution”.

Or instead of saying the word “Try” like “I’m trying to do such and such” you could say, “I’m focusing on getting better with such and such” or “I’m sure I can figure it out how to do such and such if I stick with it”

Another word that’s limiting is the word “should” This word is like putting yourself in prison. It’s not that we “should be doing this, or doing that” or we “should be behaving in a certain way” Rather it’s more about accepting the present moment and accepting yourself as you currently are.  

Lastly, PRAISE YOURSELF!!!! Instead of saying degrading things to ourselves like the one I mentioned in the last video that I used to say, which was “I’m so messed up” we would be so much better off to look in the mirror everyday and praise ourselves for even the smallest of things! And throughout our day, start saying the things you wish others would say to you, start saying “I forgive myself for…&....fill in the blank”  Bring compassion to the way you talk to yourself first and naturally you’ll notice the way you talk about others and your circumstance will change too. 

We are often our own worst critic, nitpicking at ourselves for every little thing. The mental chatter of judgement we as humans seem to always have. Well, it’s time to change that story, we don’t have to be so mean to ourselves and always look for external encouragement. We may be our worst critic, but we’re also our own best cheerleader! The encouraging things we say to ourselves have a much bigger effect than the encouraging things others say to us, because if we say it, we believe it! Whereas if we don’t already believe it inside ourselves, when others say it, our mind argues for our limitations. (“They think I’m great? They must be crazy, LO-co!”)

#4 Use Affirmations!

One more habit of speech to adopt is the use of affirmations, I’ve listed 2 you may resonate with on the webpage with all the free content you’ll wanna check out, but you can also write your own. And I actually suggest this, because we want to repeat an affirmation that actually does it for us! You want it to light you up and tug on your emotions. Emotions are where the power resides .

And you also want a statement that you believe, because if you say something to yourself that you do not believe, even if it is positive, it actually has the opposite effect that you desire. For example, if you say, “I love the look of my body” but you don’t believe it, you mind starts to find proof to argue for your limitations and will respond with all the reasons you don’t like your body.

But you do wanna start with your end goal in mind, whatever it is you desire to one day be able to say and believe, you wanna reverse engineer and start at a place that does feel natural. It’s important it feels natural! So instead you could start with, “I am thankful I have a body” or “I desire to start to love my body”. You can even get funky with it, “Somehow, like a miracle, I’m actually starting to think positive thoughts about my body” 

The 5 things to keep in mind when writing your affirmations are:

1-That they be In the present tense.

2-That they be natural and believable.

3-That they invoke the emotions that you would feel as if what you desired was already happening

4-That they start with “I Am” I am statements are extremely powerful, the subconscious mind picks up on them immediately.

5-That they have some element of gratitude (Like “I am thankful I have this body”).

I highly recommend using an affirmations app, I do this, and as one who used to write affirmations in a notebook and then never look at them again, this has been pivotal, get an app so every time you look at your phone there’s a new affirmation as a notification and then there’s not avoiding it, cause you know you’re not gonna avoid your phone.

Another place I recommend is writing them out and placing them in front of your toilet, that’s the perfect spot to be reminded to dwell on your truths.

In closing out our discussion on words, there’s one thing I want you to remember, if it’s the only thing you bring with you back into your day to day life, it is to watch what you say. Just be aware of what you are saying, not so much trying to change it or replace certain words, but just being aware that everything you are saying is a mirror of what’s on the inside and just ask yourself, “Is this who I want to be? Is this who I truly am?”

But I also wanna hear your personal takeaway, so leave it in the comments so others can learn and grow alongside with us!
