Whether you know it or not, your thoughts are directly responsible for the results that you are getting in your life. This month we're going to focus on our mindset and how to become aware of and change the thoughts that we have about ourselves. This week we're going to take a deep dive into the words that we use when we have conversations with others. Both when we talk about ourselves or just have a normal conversation about life and stuff.We open the episode by looking at how we talk about ourselves. What do you say to yourself when you make a mistake? When you do poorly at a job or a task? What is the first thought that comes to mind?Do you call yourself names? Say things like, "Ugh, I'm such an idiot" or "I'm a moron" or even something as simple as "I suck"Do you say depreciating things to yourself? Do you think or say things like "I can't do anything right" or "I never have any good ideas" or "I give up"These things may seem harmless or we may not give them a second thought but think for a moment. Is this something that you would say to your kids? Is it something you would say to a co-worker? These types of comments are extremely harmful to our own well-being. Your subconscious doesn't have a sense of humor. It simply believes what you tell it. Even if you don't mean it when you start saying it, if it's repeated enough times you will eventually begin to believe it and we know that this is not true. You have greatness in you and unlimited potential. Words are powerful. Talking bad about yourself gives other people permission to treat you poorly. We talk about this and explain why nobody can treat you better than you treat yourself. Words that use are seen through our own perception of ourselves so even good intentions can be misunderstood if your perception of yourself isn't in good standing.After that we dive into everyday phrases that we use that keep us attached to lack and limitation. We give you simple but effective phrases to replace these with to help you get into the mindset that is tuned to abundance rather than lack. It can be overwhelming to work on the entire list at once. Focus on one at a time and spend some time being hyper aware and intentional about using the replacement phrases instead.
