Power of Love
Nope, not the song! But the power of words.
I was thinking whilst walking home today about the power of words, that we actually speak to ourselves. In effect...our thoughts are actually like a conversation with ourselves. (Hang in there, it will make sense!) The amount of times we say something along the lines of: 'Gosh, I'm so bad at that.' or 'I can't do it the way [insert name] does!' is astonishing.
If we were in a conversation with somebody and constantly said those sorts of phrases to them, they would probably end up believing them themselves, causing hurt, pain, and even disappointment.
We know it's not right to do it to others, so why do we do it to ourselves?
From today, I've taken up the challenge to speak positively into myself; believing that the power of words will have an effect upon my life.
I've started by writing a note and sticking it on my mirror, telling myself that I'm good at something, so when those thoughts creep in I can rebuke them, and say, 'No, I'm choosing not to believe that lie.'
Hope that's encouraging, give it a go if you like! :)
