What do you say when speaking about yourself? I know personally, I can be highly critical of myself. If we’re being honest most of can be. We don’t go around saying how wonderful we are. It’s usually others boasting about you or you about others, but not about yourself. When I look in the mirror, I’m pointing out EVERYTHING thats wrong. Look at that pimple or that extra roll of fat on my back. Let me not forget those gray hairs coming in! I can see everything I think is wrong. It’s not just with our appearance either. We can be highly critical of ourselves with other things, too. It can be a project or task we’re working on. We talk ourselves out of it before we even get started. We say how “hard” it’s going to be. We say what we “can’t” do. My favorite one is, “I don’t think I’ll be able to” or “I’m not smart enough! Well, how do you know if you don’t even try? You’re already setting yourself up for failure with the words you are speaking. You are speaking death over yourself! When you speak negatively about yourself, your posture is different. You’re walking with your head down and your back hunched over. When you speak positive about yourself, you walk with her head up and your shoulders back. Your body feels what you say about it. Start speaking life into yourself and watch what happens! You’ll start walking with a new type of swag! Positive things will also be attracted to you! You’ll just draw in all the sunshine! Your mind and your body needs that! Proverbs 18:21 says; Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. I know I don’t want to eat any dead fruit! Lol I want to eat fruit that nourishes my body and my mind! Recently, I told myself I was going to stop saying negative things about myself. It’s not easy when you’ve been so used to doing it. As soon as a negative thought comes to my mind, I instantly nip it in the bud by thinking something positive to counteract that negative thought. I’m going to keep working at it until it becomes natural!
What are some positive things you can start speaking about yourself? How about looking at yourself in the mirror and repeating those things?! Watch how your life is transformed, just by the words you think and speak about yourself! I’m rooting for you Sis!!!🌻
