Words make all the difference in our lives.
They affect our present and future. They leave an impact on others. And their energy imprints Into our subconscious.
Let’s be conscious of not only what others say, but what we say to ourselves.
Believe it or not, 80% of our subconscious thoughts are negative. That’s why we need to take control of our thoughts. Our mind and heart are connected. The heart knows it needs to feel loved. To be inspired. To recognize that we DO make a difference.
So be good to yourself. To make a change in your life, watch your words. You can start by making daily affirmations a part of your early morning and bedtime ritual.
First thing in the morning and at bedtime, consider saying affirmations. Positive words spoken with emotion create a shift in your brain, and it’s transformative.
