Hey there, fellow wanderers of the digital realm! Today, I want to dive into something that has changed my life—the incredible, transformative power of words. As a 26-year-old navigating the twists and turns of life, I've come to realize that what we say to ourselves is like a magical incantation, shaping our reality in profound ways.
So, let's talk about creation for a moment. Remember how God spoke the world into existence in the book of Genesis? The sheer thought of it blows my mind. Words, spoken with intention and purpose, had the power to manifest the beauty of the earth, the sky, the oceans, and all the marvelous creatures that call our planet home.
Now, you might be thinking, "Cool story, but how does that relate to my everyday life?"
Well, let me tell you, friend—it relates in more ways than we often realize. We may not be crafting galaxies and oceans, but we are architects of our own worlds, sculptors of our own destinies, and it all starts with the words we choose.
Positive Affirmations: Crafting Your Reality
Have you ever noticed how a simple "I can do this" can turn a challenging day into a conquerable adventure? Positive affirmations are like little love notes to your soul, reminding you of your strength, resilience, and the limitless possibilities that await you.
Whether you whisper them in the morning mirror ritual or jot them down in a journal, these words have the power to shape your mindset, influence your actions, and attract positive energy. Embrace the magic of affirmation and watch your world transform.
A couple of years ago, I tested this out. I looked in the mirror everyday for a week straight and said, "I am strong, smart, and beautiful." A saying that a mentor of mine challenged many to look in the mirror and say and let me tell you this changed my life. I became SO much more confident in myself!
Fast forward to a couple of months ago, I went through a breakup that destroyed me and lost a job working for an organization that I loved. Talk about feeling not good enough for the guy or the job. My self-talk was at an all-time low. I had to start the "process" of looking in the mirror everyday all over again. It once again changed my life. I now get up every morning, look in the mirror and say...
I am strong.
I am smart.
I am beautiful.
I am a badass.
I am extremely talented.
I am loved.
God has an amazing plan for me and I trust his plan.
I am good at my job.
I love my body.
I am successful.
We speak things into existence. What we say to ourselves matters!
Dealing with Negative Self-Talk: Breaking the Spell
Negative self-talk can be a sneaky enchantress, weaving spells that bind you in self-doubt and limitation. How many times have we muttered words like "I'm not good enough" or "I'll never succeed"? It's time to break free from that spell. That was me a couple of months ago! I still at times fall into that trap when I feel like God isn't moving in my life. I sometimes sit at night and think...."God am I doing something wrong? Am I not good enough? Do you even listen to me? Am I worthy?" I am not all the time quick to change my mindset but when I do, I already know the answer to all of those questions.
Recognize the power of your words and their impact on your mental landscape. When negative thoughts creep in, counteract them with positive affirmations. Remember, you have the authority to rewrite the script of your life.
Being Surround by Negativity: How to Navigate it
If you find yourself surrounded by negative people, step away. Let me tell you this is not easy at all. Whether it is family members, friends, work, or a partner, remove yourself from the situation. From experience it is very difficult to set on this journey of transformation and succeed while be constantly around someone who is negative about their life/situations or negative about your journey and growth. Not everyone will understand and want to be part of you changing your life. Some people will be turned off by it and LET THEM. Those people were not meant to be part of your journey and life. Surround yourself with people that are going to fill up your cup, not empty it.
God's Blueprint: Creating with Love and Purpose
Reflecting on God's act of creation, we see a blueprint woven with love and purpose. Every word spoken was intentional, every creation a reflection of divine wisdom. In the same way, we have the opportunity to infuse our words with love, kindness, and purpose.
Speak life into your dreams, blessings into your challenges, and love into your relationships. Let your words be a force for good, creating a world that reflects the beauty of your soul.
So, dear reader, as you go about your day, remember the enchanting power you hold within. Your words are the spells that shape your reality. Choose them wisely, speak with intention, and watch the magic unfold.
All the best,
Payton Duncan
