Your
ears need to hear what your mouth is professing. – Terri Savelle Foy
Talk
to yourself like you would to someone you love. - Brené Brown
The
more you talk about the negative things in your life, the more you call them
in. Speak victory, not defeat. – Joel Osteen
Words are so important and the words that
we speak to ourselves are the most impactful.
Our brains are known for focusing on “what”” can go wrong with our fight
or flight mindset. When we speak
positive words to ourselves, we build confidence and self-worth.

Your voice is the most
influential voice in your life!
Science has shown us that we can train
our brains new tricks. Scientists studied
the Sea Gypsies, also known as Mokens, off the coast of Myanmar and
Thailand. The Mokens have amazing
underwater vision, which is twice as good as the Europeans. Their outstanding eyesight helps them gather shellfish
at greater depths without scuba gear.
Scientists say they are able to do this because they constrict their
pupils by 22 percent. People have
questioned if the Mokens were gifted with this special talent. Scientists do not believe they are different
than any other humans. They believe that
the Mokens have incorporated the concept that the brain orders the body to
adjust to complete whatever task it needs to.
In the same way, our brains can be
reconfigured to think positively about ourselves based on the words we speak to
ourselves.
