Your Thoughts and Words Can Change Your Life
Written by Janie Behr, CSW, CLC, MSSW
I have a client who tells me how depressed he is with the news of the economy, yet he spends many hours watching the stock market go up and down like a roller coaster. All those words of economic gloom and doom that are going on in his mind are affecting the thoughts of my client, and without a doubt these words affect his emotions as well.
Thoughts and Words Change Your Vibrations
The Japanese word for vibration is "hado" (rhymes with shadow). What Dr. Emoto shows in his research is that words and thoughts form vibrations. Our vibrations that go out into the universe attract to us people and circumstances with a similar vibration. The words of gloom and doom that my client listens to for so many hours affect his thoughts, his emotions, and his vibrations.
Whenever you think negative thoughts or speak negative words, you lower your vibrations.
Raise Your Vibration to Attract More Desirable Outcomes
You can experience the power of positive change in your life right now by speaking new words and thinking new thoughts. These positive actions will raise your vibration and you will begin attracting new opportunities and improved relationships. Every word you speak and thought you think affects not only you, but the people and world around you. The words you say to your children, your spouse, your friends, your boss, your employees-all of these people are powerfully impacted by your thoughts and words.
The words and thoughts that come from you have the power to transform the world in your favor.
We have all probably been guilty of saying things we didn't mean, sometimes in jest and sometimes in anger or frustration. So what do we do about the words and phrases that we say to ourselves and others? I have made some corrections to what I say and found that two important things have helped me tremendously:
Think different to speak different. The first step to changing my words is to change my thoughts. If the words are in my head, then eventually they will come out of my mouth.
Plan ahead. Once I've identified common words and phrases that I want to eliminate from my thoughts and vocabulary, it helps if I plan replacement words and phrases ahead of time so that in a heated moment of frustration or excitement, old habit patterns don't kick in and old words come streaming out of my mouth.
One of the most powerful things I have done to replace negative words and thoughts is to replace them with gratitude. It's really difficult to think negative thoughts about someone when I am feeling such a sense of gratitude toward a person. I find that I am irritated less by the little things when I have spent time coming up with replacement thoughts that are full of gratitude.
I challenge you to begin doing this and watch what happens around you. You may discover that you'll completely surprise some of the people in your life. When you eliminate negative words and phrases in thought and spoken words, you may find the most unlikely people coming to your aid or cooperating with you like never before.
