Ruth Fishel is the author of "Change almost Anything in 21 Days". She says: "Words are powerful. They have the power to move us. They can lift our spirits, inspire us, change our mood, give us courage, make us cry and do much more." Have you ever heard "change your thought, change the feeling, change the action"? Thoughts often trigger effects in our body. When we have negative thoughts, it transfers to bodily reaction. I sometimes feel it in my gut, in the pit of my stomach. Others can feel it as a headache, shoulder pain and many other symptoms. Negative words are blockers that keep us from moving forward. Words like "can't, unable, not enough, couldn't, didn't" keep us stuck. When was the last time you told yourself something positive?
- I feel terrific
- I did a great job
- I am intelligent
- I am a great spouse, partner, friend
Read the negative words above and see where they land in your body. Then read the positive statements above and notice how they affect your body. I actually felt a smile...did you?
This weeks blog is based on changing almost anything in 21 days, based on the book. Think about what you would change if you could do it in 21 days. Tomorrow I will provide ways to write an affirmation that will empower you. I can teach you, help you, guide you. What you do with it is up to you.
"Whether you think you can or can't, you are right" Henry Ford
