Words do have power. Some have more than others and we need to be conscious of what we are saying – not only to others, but to ourselves.
I found myself sinking into a somewhat self-destructive loop a few weeks ago where I was referring to myself as
Idiot
Loser
Lazy
Fatty
Slacker
Butterball
and a few others.
These are things I’d not call my friends, why on earth had I decided to start using them on myself? That shit needed to stop.
It made me think of other words that would be best banished from my vocabulary – none of us need to be doubting and sabotaging ourselves as we embark on our challenges.
Here’s my list, what words/phrases would you add?
Can’t
Impossible
But (usually preceded an excuse as to why something is “impossible”)
Never
When you get down to it, yes you CAN, it is POSSIBLE, and it will happen SOON.
