Remember the saying sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. Hate to say it but it's not true. Words can hurt more than anything. They tend to stick with us, change us, affect us in so many ways. Ways we may not realize until later. Words can actually hurt more than breaking a bone. I always tell people when I hurt due to someones hurtful words "I would much rather be shot in the foot then to feel the pain of their words". See to me at least being shot in the foot I can fix that and the pain will not last long , where as hurtful words break us down emotionally and physically. The words of another manage to stick with us forever, especially if they hurt. A positive word can lift a spirt, but negative ones can break the soul.
Now think about how you view yourself. Those words in your thoughts that you use to view and describe yourself, they have an impact on you. If you think, for example the word failure. If you see and think that of yourself, your mind as well as your body are going to carry that word and show others that you see yourself as a failure. If you view and think of the word ugly and tell yourself that, then your mind and body will carry it and allow people to view you as ugly. Words have a lot of power, especially the words we tell ourselves. After awhile and using those negative words in your thoughts and actions within ourselves, we begin to believe them. The conscious mind runs with them and can becomes a nasty habit.
With this From Me To You board. Shown in yesterdays blog. You are going to be breaking that mental habit of negative thought process. You are going to replace all the negative words you have placed in your head. I like to think of it as teaching an old dog new tricks but your teaching your brain of a new way to think. Placing a word a day, taking a positive word, making it descriptive to you, pinning it to your board and viewing it each day as well as tell yourself these words, it is allowing thought replacement. You are making a habit and not only is your board growing with positive words about you but your mental thought process is changing and replacing negative self thoughts with positive ones. This is your mirror, this is your positive reflection in words.
With that all being said let's get to it. Day two consists of a new word. a word that once again describes you in a positive light. For me today, the word I pinned to my board was strong. I am reflecting and reminding myself that I am strong.
So now my mirror, my self image and reflection on my From Me to You board contains two words that I will see, read and remember each and every day. That I am beautifully Unique and I am strong.
If your are following, Please feel free to comment and share what your word for yourself would be or if you are doing the board what word or words did you post to it. In order to become the person we want to be we need to believe that person is there. In order for someone to see the beautiful and wonderful person I know you are and is there you have to see and feel it for yourself. It all starts with you.
Now a heads up a little on tomorrow. We are going to do something kind of like a mission. You are going to take your first two words, add your day three word and implement them into your day. If you just started following you can take the word you have chosen for you and today and I want you use those word/words as your words of the day. Say them out loud, use them in your sentances. If you, like myself and so many other have a Facebook. I want you to take those words and post them to your page and say this is me. such as "This is me, I am beautifully unique, strong and ____".
This completes Day Two. I anticipate tomorrow and I so hope you continue to follow and enjoy. Remember no matter how bad yesterday, the day before or today was, tomorrow is a new day. It is up to you and from me to you to become the best you and find your CanKan attitude.
