How to Speak Positively & Attract Abundance into Your Life
One of things that will make or break you is the people around you.
Do the people around you speak life or death? Some of us are surrounded by people who only speak negatively, and then we wonder why we can't grow or be successful.
No one plants a garden in a graveyard.
Because negativity & cruelty is so common, some of us don't even know how to speak life.
So here are my guidelines.
1. From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. If all you are speaking about is gossip and negativity...check your heart. Something toxic is growing there. It may be past hurt, self loathing, brokenness that has turned to bitterness...
I remember once saying something vile about someone. I too once threw shade. And because I was in the process of refreshing, my spirit chastised me immediately. I had to sit with myself and check my heart. Toxicity is not a judgment but a diagnosis.
2. The acronym T.H.I.N.K is everything to me.
Is it True? Now I know quite a few people who once they have an assumption about someone, they lock it in as fact in their heads. So check your assumptions. Is what you are saying really true? Or is it just your “truth”?
Is it Helpful?
And I don't mean does it help you feel better about yourself to put others down...is it helpful information?
Is it Inspiring?
This is about our delivery. How we say things is just as important as what we say.
Is it Necessary?
There are times when corrections are necessary. Just because someone makes a mistake...depending on the incident, it may not be worth pointing out.
Is it Kind?
A kind hearted woman gains respect. What we say carries such weight! The power of life and death is in our tongues.
Be kind. To yourself and to others.
3. It's about progress not perfection. Sometimes we fail.
Sometimes we say hurtful things. Don't justify, don't deflect, don't diminish it to make yourself less accountable.
Own the ugliness in you.
Get real about your darkness.
We all have a shadow side.
Own your ish. And grow through it.
Apologize for it.
Forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness and return to 1. Check your heart and your spirit and if need be, withdraw and get some healing.
