Are your words empowering you?

“Words form the thread on which we string our experiences” ~Aldous Huxley

In the literal sense, words are used to represent to us what our experience of life is. Our words shape our beliefs, and impact our actions. They even alter our perceptions and feelings. In fact, by simply changing your habitual vocabulary, you can instantly change how you think, how you feel, and how you live.
The words that we attach to our experience become our experience.
When we are ready to grow, we need to identify and challenge these old, self destructive thoughts. When we become aware of our negative statements, and substitute positive ones, we increase our energy, our optimism, our self esteem, and our effectiveness.
When you have struggled with food and weight for years, your dialogue tends to sound something like this…

I will never lose this weight.
I can’t eat that.
I am just big boned.
My metabolism sucks.
I hate my body.
I will never get it under control.
If you want to change your body, lose weight, and get healthy, you need to consciously select the words that you use when thinking and speaking about this. If the words that you are using are creating states of mind that are disempowering you, get rid of those words and replace them with empowering ones! Changing your habitual vocabulary when thinking, and speaking about food, and your body is a crucial part in breaking your own patterns.
Our subconscious minds are incredibly powerful. We create our experiences in life through our belief systems, conditioning, thoughts, emotions, and intent. When I began to consciously explore the power of my vocabulary, I finally began to let go of life long patterns with food that were no longer supporting the person that I wanted to become.
