Author and designer Karen Salmonsahn wrote, “What are the most powerful words in the universe? The ones you use to talk to yourself.” This is so true.
I previously explained the potential destructive or negative power of our own words in my blog titled Don’t Believe Everything You Tell Yourself. As I complete a course about hypnosis and the Law of Attraction, it seemed worthwhile to address this topic again. This time, I will take a more positive approach.
If you
write affirmations each night or morning, you are already familiar with the
power that a sentence or two can have to influence (and manifest) a positive
change in your life. Of course, it isn’t just the words that do this. You must
also believe in the power of those sentiments and your ability to quiet that
annoying voice of self-doubt and skepticism that lives in the subconscious mind.
If you have ever had to do battle with (turn off) that kind of chatter, you
know how hard it can be to remain confident, optimistic and believe
in your ability to achieve your goal.
To get
into the right head space and attitude to accomplish your goals, it is
important to focus on the positive thoughts/beliefs and encouraging feedback.
If you notice any negativity creeping into your subconscious
mental script,
acknowledge the presence of the thought and return to positive imagery about
the successful outcome you are working toward. For example: “Thank you for
bringing this to my attention, but I don’t need you anymore.” Directly acknowledging
a negative thought this way actually negates its power and influence over you,
because you are no longer distracted by it. Thinking or verbalizing this
sentiment draws a metaphoric line or boundary around the focus of your energy
(intention), which negativity may not cross. Even more important, the act of
thinking or saying “no” to and
shutting down unwanted thoughts or belief systems strengthens self-confidence
and your belief that you can accomplish your goals.
How is
that for power?
