Listen to the Power of Your Spoken Word

by 4 Comments

This past month, I spent a great deal of time reflecting on my business growth and reviewing where I came from. I was listening to a Louise L. Hay’s audiobook, The Power of the Spoken Word. Hay talked about how powerful the words we use are and how they can affect the outcomes we get. She stated that the Universe or God loves us so much that we are granted what we ask for and speak of. Her example was how we look at ourselves and speak to ourselves in the morning when we get up. Think about what you say to yourself when you look into the mirror. The words we chose affect the outcome of our day. Louise L. Hay also mentions that if you say: “I hate my job.” while you are looking for another one, you will soon not be happy when you start the new job as you will continue to attract what you think.

 Your thoughts are powerful and your words are powerful. Her words triggered something inside of me. I remember and sometimes I will admit I catch myself saying, “Boy, that was dumb.” Hay states we should show compassion and empathy for ourselves as well as others. We were only functioning with what we know to be true at the time.

Oprah Winfrey often speaks the words of Maya Angelou, “When we know better, we do better.”

It is important not to beat yourself up. Would you berate your best friend for not succeeding on the first try? As long as you are living, strive to learn , improve, and grow. Speak kindly to yourself and about others. It is said that what you put out into the world comes back to you. Quit gossiping or people will be gossiping about you. If you want more patience and understanding, you need to be patient and understanding. I you want more clients to come into your life, do not spend your time wallowing in self pity saying, “I have no clients, I will never get any clients.” As what you state is what you will tend to bring about. Do you want more clients? Speak about and plan how you will serve your clients. How will you help them? See the small but subtle changes in the words used – much more empowering wouldn’t you say? The energy changes when you spin phrases into more positive and powerful statements. Speak with confidence in knowing who you are and what you wish to achieve.

Now go out into the world and make today matter!

Do You Want to Know What Is Really Blocking Your Success?

Do you have a dream or a goal that you have been working on but just don’t seem to be getting anywhere? Do you feel think you are spinning your wheels or maybe you have a hit a plateau? Do you ever sit back and wonder if success is in your future? One of the most vital components to is how you think…yes your mindset. The biggest obstacle blocking your success is YOU! Ouch! I know. We often think of roadblocks as being those obstacles outside of ourselves however, we have more control than we think. So much for blaming and complaining about all those other people around us.

What Can You Do Unblock Your Success?

  • Define What Success Means to You. Success means different things to different people. For people, success is define by money, cars, homes, and vacations. Whereas others view success as the quality of their relationships, their free time, and their accomplishments.
  • Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life and Your Success. You are the only one responsible for your success. Are you giving your best effort? Are you spending your time where you excel? Are you owning what you do? No complaining, blaming, or excuses allowed!
  • Keep Positive. We have an express train ideas every minute with thoughts and ideas. Some are good and some are not so good. You need to reframe them. Most of the time, believe it or not, it tends to be negative chatter questioning our every move. You may hear things like, “What makes you think you can do that?”, “You are not as good as..”, and “Who is going to listen to you?” It is time to silence that voice but saying “YES, I can.”,  “I am good – I am great – there is no one like me.”, and “My voice needs to be heard.” Be kind to yourself. Would you speak to others the way you talk to yourself?
  • Set Defined Goals with Deadlines and Expected Outcome. Write down what it is you wish to achieve. Break it down into smaller tasks. Create a road map of your plans and strategize what you can delegate. There are no “one hit wonders” in sustainable success.
  • Take Action. My favorite!!! When you take even the smallest action step, you create a momentum that can lead to big results. Your mindset will begin to focus on getting the results you want.

Your mindset is the most powerful thing in the world. When you focus on what you want to achieve versus what you do not want, you are more likely to get it. Your success is not determined by mindset alone. You must take action to achieve what you want. Now go out there and take on the day!

 

Quick Shifts to Self Empowerment

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.
