This week, I am presented with a challenge: changing the way I talk. I am not referring to any accent or foreign language but challenging myself to “watch my words”. I believe that one of the ways to get over the Past is to stop talking about. That is not to say that I cannot grab lessons from the Past, but I have to leave the longings for the Past ALONE. Even if those Past memories were good, I have to remind myself that it can get better. My mouth has gotten me in trouble with myself, because I was speaking against myself. If I receive a rejection email from a potential job, I will tell myself “I will not find another job before my contract ends” although I have plenty of time to find one. If I missed a deadline on an assignment, I would tell myself “I will fail the class” although it has been one week, (and late assignments are accepted).
The point I am trying to make is that the words we speak carry power. I noticed that the words I was saying was not aligning with the future that I was expecting for myself. I’m not dismissing the possibilities of bad or disappointing things happening, but I’m not allowing myself to live in a cloud of discouragement that was made by my words (a.k.a. lies spoken). So…what are you saying?
