The POWER of the words we use

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Healthy Living, Healthy Mama, Positive Mindset, Self-care

Each word we say or THINK (yup, think!!!) has power. It has the power to give life to new ideas, new mindsets, new opportunities or it has the power to discourage, hurt and even plant lies in our mind.

I have come across the term “Conscious Language” through a video I watched. What stood out to me is how a small shift in the words we use can create mindset shifts and that’s powerful. Our brain will believe ANYTHING we tell it, so why not tell it things we want to see in our lives?

First step is to start paying attention to the words or phrases you say without even thinking about it for example, “Things like this always happened to me”, “I am not good at technology”, “I wish I could afford that”, “I’m afraid we can’t do this” and any negative thoughts directed at ourselves “I am not creative”, “I can never be like…”, “I am ugly” etc.

This is not to say that now you are going to start saying words or phrases that are not true, it’s just the way we phrase them will change. For example replacing “I wish I could afford that” with “Every day I am getting closer and closer to my goal”, or “I am not good at technology” with “Every day I learn more and more about technology”, “I’m so stupid” with “I am learning through my experiences”. Give the brain HOPE! EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS POSSIBLE! But it all starts with our BELIEF that it’s possible and our words play a key role in that!

STEPS TO START CHANGING YOUR WORDING

1 – Begin to notice any phrases that you would like to replace.

2 – Replace them with a positive thought or use Google to find affirmations that can help you replace those thoughts.

3 – Try out the new wording and the new idea and adjust it until it feels right for you!

Hey, MAMA! Happy International Women’s Day! I know you are awesome and pour so much into your family! But I am here to remind you to pour into yourself!

TIP 1

Take that perfect piece for YOURSELF! You know when you are cutting cute perfect veggie pieces for your kids to snack on and eating the imperfect pieces yourself? Or washing those beautiful plump strawberries just to snack on the one that looks like it’s had a rough day? STOP! Take that perfect veggie piece for yourself. Go for that plump perfect strawberry! YOU DESERVE IT! No one will benefit from this sacrifice but what you are telling your subconcious is – I am not worthy of great things I am only worthy of those that no one else will want! NO! First take care of you and then everyone around you will benefit. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MINDSET! Affirmations are great for that! This goes for things other than veggies and fruit! But I think you know that!

TIP 2

Set time aside to focus on yourself. Nope, that’s not selfish this is SELF-LOVE! We are pouring into family, into tiny humans, into new generation – how are we going to do that if we are running on empty! Focus on YOU! The best way for me is morning affirmations, meditation, and putting my moisturizer on. MOISTURIZER? What’s that about? Self-care of course. I use to slap that moisturizer on and run downstairs to tend to lunches and breakfast and folders that have to be in the backpack. And now I am intentional with applying my moisturizer. Really, Katie, are we still talking about moisturizer? Yup! And here is why – when I apply my moisturizer I do it intentionally. I massage my face the way it needs to be massaged – because I am in my mid-30s and apparantely gravity plays a role! I spend time looking at myself in the mirror and admiring my skin, my smile, noticing my eyebrows that need some care! SELF-CARE doesn’t have to be SPA – ALL DAY – NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! ROUTINE IS KEY! It has to happen every day and this is what works for me!

TIP 3

Essential oils!!! These bottles of joy help me set intentions, focus my attention on things that are important, energize me, ground me, and raise my vibrations! Every month I do a zyto scan for my family (Zyto technology is like a lie detector test for your wellness and gives you suggestions on oils and supplements that your body can benefit from). This month my scan was all about emotional wellbeing! I scanned for Motivation, Awaken, Nutmeg, Bergamot and Cortistop! Let me backtrack for a second! I should share that I have been feeling low – creativity has been low, desire to try new things have been low – pretty much full hybernation! Due to all of that energy has been pretty low too. And everything has been done in overdrive mode! So what do these awesome Zyto scan results tell me? One – get your oils on, girl! Put that Motivation, Awaken and Bergamot on! Diffusing Bergamot is uplifting and just brightens everyone’s mood. WHY nutmeg and cortistop you ask? Because those are fantastic for energy! Nutmeg helps support adrenals and cortistop helps support normal corstisol levels! I am sticking with these for the month of March and adding them to my self care routine! It’s jus the SUPPORT I need!

CONCLUSION

Everyone’s self care will look different! But it comes down to MINDSET (doing something you desire for yourself) ROUTINE (creating one that makes you slow down and focus on you) and SUPPORT (finding things that support you whether it’s oils or journaling or calling a friend!) EASY PEASY! HARD PART? Sticking with it! But you are worth it! And everyone benefits from it!
