Power of the words
- “I Am What I Am”
Your words will influence how others see you. Your words can alter how you see the world. Your words, whether in
writing or spoken, can change your brain and how your body works.
“ Say that Again”
Some of us are in the habit of using the same negative words over and over again out of habit. The problem is that the more we hear, read, or speak a word or phrase, the more power it has over us. This is because the brain uses repetition to learn, searching for patterns and consistency as a way to make sense of the world around us. Only after being burned a few times can we understand that fire is always hot. You may not remember the exact end date of the Civil War, but odds are you still know what 8 x 9 is because you had to repeat your multiplication tables over and over again, drilling it into your consciousness. I’m sure you’ve experienced having a song stuck in your head all day long, and try as you might, you just can’t get the melody out of your head. Repetition is the most powerful tool to imprint something into our minds and keep it there. If we’re not fully conscious of what we’re exposing ourselves to, consistency will trump truth every time. Now consider how many times you’ve falsely called yourself stupid, untalented, ugly, or anything else, and you begin to understand how your internal propaganda shapes a false self-image.
The words we speak have life. Words give out energy, evoke emotions, and set the tone for back and forth conversation. Choose your words wisely, whether they are the words we speak to one another, or the ones we think about ourselves, words make a difference. The words we use can help people see themselves better than they are. Avoid using words that label someone, regardless if it’s a “bad” or “good” label.
In the end remember this
Words have always had tremendous power and people have known it since the ancient times. Many ancient texts
teach you the importance of the words and the reason why we have to pay attention to the words we use.
