The Power of Words

"I am unlovable"..."Nobody likes me"...."I am beautiful"...."I have all the time in the world"

Words and our self expression are VERY powerful. Whatever you express, begins to manifest almost instantaneously. You are telling the universe: "This is MY truth". God gave you the spoken word for this simple reason. Your personal truth is very powerful, so be wise in using your gift of spoken word. This includes not just the words you say to others, but what you say in your inner dialogue.

It's well known that words and other forms of self expression have vibrations and are indeed energy. For those who understand the laws of attraction and manifesting, words are the "like attracts like" in the entire equation. Try it sometime: Think of a funny word and say it out loud. Watch how quickly you see an advertisement on TV or the internet containing that work, how someone brings it up in conversation (sometimes many people in the same conversation) or how a stranger will say it in passing through the grocery store.

With the understanding that our words are magnets, we can begin to change what we say to reflect our inner truth and manifest the life we truly desire. Sounds simple, right? It IS! All it takes is work and the conscious understanding that what you say will reflect you. I am not suggesting you go out in the world, with your opinions and judgments and ball-bust everyone that crosses your path. I am suggesting you take stock in what is truly important to you and realize that you are deserving of it: friendships, support, love, abundance, money, a new home, a loving relationship... You do not need to live a life of lack, a life of fear, a life of loneliness.

We are humans with wills so we will have arguments and become frustrated with one another...or even with our self. That is okay. It's important to remember during these times that we speak the truth instead of tossing around harsh words. I'm guilty of this as much as the next person. It can be so hard to calm the volatile tongue when it gets going, but remember that whatever you put out, you will get back from the universe. This includes gossip, slander, opinions, judgments... I have been in arguments myself where I have called someone defective, only to find out that the very same person had a similar belief of me in a different conversation. I've told the universe, "I never want to hear from that person again!" and that is exactly what I got until I changed my tone.

Here are ways in which you can get in touch with your truth:
1.) Make a list of what you desire and phrase it in the present tense:
"I have more than enough money to live a comfortable and relaxing life."
"I am a beautiful person and heal others with my words."

2.) Find a hobby or become reacquainted with an old one Play an instrument, write, journal, dance, go for a walk, cook...

3.) Listen to your inner voice and shut out any negative thoughts. Tell them that they are "old news" and you don't need those thoughts anymore.

4.) Come up with fun affirmations and place them around your home.

5.) BREATHE!!!!!!!!!! Don't be so eager to respond in conversation or jump the gun when you are upset. Take a breath, or 5 breaths, before you say anything. This also applies if you are having a bad day.

6.) Me-time is very important. Take a time out, at least once a day, to do something you enjoy.

7.) Don't hide your feelings. Express them in a positive way by either journaling, talking to a friend, setting boundaries in relationships, speaking up and saying, "This doesn't feel right. I need a few moments before I decide."

8.) If you must get angry, excuse yourself and be angry for a limited amount of time. Don't suppress your feelings. Afterward, have a good laugh at it. This also applies to other negative or self-defeating feelings.

8.) Find the truth in others. Listen during conversation without thinking about how you will respond. Often we are paired with people who will teach us about our truth through mere reflection.

There are many ways to express yourself: words, song, writing, cooking, dancing... Make your world reflect what you desire. Remember that all these forms of self-expression are your gifts! What does your self expression say about you and your reality? What are you telling the world you want to attract? Are these expressions coming from your place of truth, your heart, or from a place of negativity?
