Words That Dis-empower

It has been said that every word ever spoken is drifting around in the cosmic soup, eternally. That is a lot of hurtful things said, demeaning words said in fear or anger, words spoken in judgment or criticism, put downs, curse words, prejudices, etc. It all comes back to be embraced.

Simply, there are words that rob energy, that compromise life, that restrict, that limit, that curse, that demean, that dis-empower, that de-value, that destroy, that kill….all of them deserve to be spoken no more.

Consider the following list and start restricting them from your inner and outer vocabulary. Pay attention to what life brings you. Just see….and then decide about eliminating more of them. There is something about being in a clean space. Rediscover that.

Start to notice how these words permeate our lives, in thought, in conversation, in music, in advertisement, in speech…all manipulations.

To make the shift to eliminate these words from thought and speech takes awareness first. You are required to monitor your expressions. When you hear it, you replace it with an alternative, life affirming word. It requires repetition to undo some of these verbal and thought patterns. It can be done and it shall be as you attend to your opportunity to change. Enjoy the weeding of the garden…
