Negative Words Spiral Positive Words Empower

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever caught yourself in a spiral of negative conversation?

You need to ditch some of those words! Those words can be:

  • I can’t…
  • I don’t think I can…
  • I don’t have the time…
  • I don’t believe…

Those are words drag you down. You want to change them to empowering words:

  • I can
  • I will
  • I know

Every a statement like, ” I am afraid to do soemthing.” needs to be changed to get more power behind it. “I am confident I can take on whatever comes my way.” I am sure you can. 

Drop words that do not serve you. Change the context. You will be surprised that you can change the energy around you to a more positive atmosphere by just watching the words that you use.

Are you looking at your glass as half empty or half full? It is really important when you project yourself out in the world that you are coming from a place as have full and on the way to filling ‘er up! The reason being is -you can get caught up very easily in comparing yourself to others. Worrying about what others think. Guess what? People are so busy – they do not have time to look what is going on in your world. They have enough trouble looking after their own so do not worry about what other people think. Quit comparing yourself. You ARE MORE than enough.You have the skills and abilities to make things happen. All you have to do is discipline yourself and persevere. You can do it and your glass will be half full.

Debra Kasowski interviews Sheila Unqiue about 3 Quick Shifts to Self Empowerment.

When it comes to self-empowerment:

  1. Acknowledge yourself as your own leading authority when it comes to your life and yourself.
  2. Awareness. Becoming aware of what’s going on in yoru world because there will be people who will show up with messages as to where you need to go for information.
  3. Asking. When you are in a place where you do not know something or you are looking for information. The very first type of self-empowering question you could ask is, “What?” What is this for me? Where can I get the information? and in that place of asking those kind of questions, you will get the answers that most apply to you.

Become a Celebrity in Your Own Backyard

This past weekend, the kids and I went back home to visit my parents and go to the country agricultural fair. We prepared cookies, crafts, drawings, Lego, photography, and flowers to be entered into the bench show, all with anticipation of winning 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prize. What a frenzy we were in! We had just met the deadline. Phew!

The event kicked off with a parade and good ole’ candy tosses. Before the parade got started, I ran into someone I knew and we started to chat. After I was done visiting, my son turned to me and said,

“Mom, I think we should move to a small town.
Everyone knows each other; it is just like being a celebrity!”

Although, I do not plan on moving anytime soon, his comment spurred a whirlwind of thoughts in my head leading to this blog post. Brilliant!

To showcase your talents and abilities, why not start in your own backyard? Often, these are the people who know you or know of you but do not always know what you do or what skills you possess. When you start to bring this to people’s attention, they will take notice and also want to support your efforts. You may have heard of a campaign “Shop Local”. The “Shop Local” Philosophy can start with you! Start advertising or writing articles for your community, whether it is in your local area, town, city, or province or state. Give back to your community by getting involved in a local charity or supporting fundraising efforts. People will get to know you and your work and the word will spread just like coming from a small town. You will be a celebrity in your own backyard!

When you start to branch out into the great big world, sky’s the limit! The backyard will be “the comfort zone or give you a safe feeling of home” and you will slowly and steadily begin to stretch into new areas and new beginnings.

No matter where you come from or where you head to, 
you can always look back to where you started and feel like a celebrity.

We won several prizes and the kids had a blast. My daughter came home with a Blue Ribbon for her age category. Great memories!

Share your story of getting known  and remembered in your community.
