It's A State-of-Mouth!

Words can heal, words can cause pain.
Words can divide, words can comfort.
Words can inspire, words can bring shame.
Words can confuse, words can foster unity.

What do your words accomplish? Are you a positive yapper, or is your vocabulary laced with the poison of negativity?

How do your words affect people around you? Your environment? Your own mind and body?

Our words contain vast amounts of power to do good or harm. It is our careful and deliberate choice to use our words to encourage and create a positive environment, or tear down and charge the air around us with...well...YUCK!

The choice is yours. You have the power to drastically change the people and circumstances surrounding you for the better. Let me help you start by encouraging you to be positive and pay close attention to the words you use. Think ahead and plan on what you will say in various situations. Choose mentally, and even speak your decision aloud, to use only words that will build up, help, encourage, and create a positive environment. Make the decision now, and when you get in a difficult situation it will become easier to choose positive words.

Think about someone who walks into a room and causes everyone to tense up around them because people expect...YUCK...to come out of their mouths. You don't want to be that person!

Now, imagine someone who enters a room and lightens moods, is pleasant, and who people want to be around. Picture yourself as that person...and decide to be THAT person.

It begins with a State-of-mouth.

Give a try this weekend to eliminate as many negative words from your vocabulary as possible and search for words you can use to replace YUCK words with ones that will do the most good.

Make a game of it and write down how many words you replaced this weekend. Tally them up and see how much good you accomplished just by choosing the right words.

Here we go: I BELIEVE you CAN do this because you are a CREATIVE and POSITIVE person who is INTELLIGENT and wants to do what is GOOD and BENEFICIAL for everyone around you. You are AMAZING and people LOVE to hang out with you and hear all the GOOD things that come from you. You are an ENCOURAGEMENT to people and make the room SHINE when you walk in. You DESERVE a HIGH-FIVE!

There I am up 14 positive words already! How many can you count today?

Have An Extraordinary Weekend!
