Watch Your Mouth Your Body is Listening
Watch Your Mouth Your Body is Listening
By your thoughts you form your words. By your words you anchor your assumptions, perceptions and expectations (APE). By your APE you form your attitude which directly impacts your circumstance. Your attitude is your closest friend or worst enemy and you get to choose it.
Too often our responses to life fall into the primal cave (like Gollum from Lord of the Rings).
What if you intelligently and intentionally spoke words that support your success and personal excellence today?
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Imprisoned by an undesirable outcome (a definition of failure)? Crushed by an unexpected loss? All the more this message is worth your time and reflection.
In the midst of going through advanced cancer and divorce at the same time back in 2006, my Doctor recommended that I explore the impact my word choice has on my body, he guided me to Dr. Emoto’s water studies.
Dr. Masaru Emotoconducted scientific studies on the effects of negative word choice and it’s impact at the molecular level of water. A mature human body is made up of approximately 80% water. Be very careful what you think and speak, your body is listening.
Are you familiar with the word: ABRACADABRA? Perhaps you included it in your make believe play as a child? It is actually an ancient Aramaic statement and is the practice of thinking and speaking positive thoughts to create and imprint a positive speech habit: Ahbra Kedahbra means:I create as I speak.
The Holy Scriptures speak to the power of the tongue:
- “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21.
- Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.” Proverbs 13:3
- “A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4
- “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37
- For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.” 1 Peter 3:10
- “If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!” James 3:1-18
Take Action:
This week have high noticing around your inner voice: the words and phrases you choose to dwell on. Whatever you focus on grows BIGGER. Don’t let your words be the BOSS of you.
Be the boss of the words you use to describe your life experience as well as what you believe about your ability to overcome verses being overcome by circumstance.
Speak LIFE into your inner thoughts. Give more authority to the strength of God within you than to your circumstance.
Choose one of the verses listed above and commit it to memory.
Observe and delete any of the following negative choice points and replace them with life giving words: kind, loving and supportive speech to yourself and others…invite the Holy Spirit to help you clean out your mind trash.
Negative word choices that shut down and restrict your life:
Universal Quantifiers: Always, Never, No one, Nothing, Nobody, Everybody, Everything…these words create All or Nothing thinking and will prevent the brain from tuning into a variety of available options needing for solution based thinking.
Modal Operators of Necessity: Have to, I Need to, I Should, I must, I Can’t…it’s necessary: this type of thinking and speaking indicates a Lack of Choice and keep you stuck in mental muck.
As you expand your ability to explore and tune Into several different options you will ignite solution based thinking.
Words to Use that Benefit You: expand, explore, consider, trust, look into, ignite, curious, fascinating…
I invite you for the next week to take a negative thought FAST.
Blaming:
Any time you blame yourself or another person take a step back from the situation and ask yourself what are you refusing to take responsibility for…it may come down to taking responsibility for your own sense of inner peace, joy and happiness.
Complaining:
Complaining of any kind creates an exchange of negative energy between you and yourself OR between you and another person which actually has the ability to shrink your brain size.
