Power of speech

Wednesday, April 22
I know I talk a lot about self-talk. I also know that plenty of online gurus have made self-talk into something that it isn’t.
It is not talking yourself into owning a lambo.
It is not manifesting your life into one of fame and fortune.
It is not changing your entire life in one morning.
BUT, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. It is.
I saw a recent study that said negative speech is 40-70x more powerful than positive speech. Meaning, all those negative thoughts and words you say to/about yourself? They are doing significant damage. One positive thought won’t undo it, but speaking intentionally to/about yourself every day will. Research suggests that it takes 3-5 positive thoughts to undo one negative thought.
You rebuild your habits be rewiring your mind. You rewire your mind by speaking truth to yourself consistently.
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Mind change leads to form change.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
