Always Listening

"You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero is a must read.

Have you ever stopped to think about the impact of the words we speak? Words have the power to uplift, inspire, and motivate, but they can also hurt, wound, and destroy. In today's fast-paced world, we often forget the power of our words and how they can impact those around us.

A kind word goes a very long way. It has the power to transform someone's day and even their life. A kind word can make someone feel seen, heard, and valued. It can lift someone out of a dark place and give them the strength to keep going.

But why is it so important to practice speaking kind words? Firstly, our words have the power to shape our beliefs and perceptions. When we speak kind words, we are reinforcing positive beliefs about ourselves and others. This, in turn, affects our actions and habits, which ultimately shape our reality.

Secondly, our words have a ripple effect. When we speak kind words, we not only uplift the person we are speaking to, but we also create a positive energy that can impact everyone around us. This creates a chain reaction of kindness and positivity, which has the power to change the world.

Lastly, it's important to remember that our inner child is always listening. We all have an inner child, the part of us that holds our deepest fears, wounds, and vulnerabilities. When we speak harshly or critically to ourselves or others, we are reinforcing negative beliefs and perceptions that our inner child holds. This can create a cycle of self-doubt and self-loathing, which can be difficult to break.

So, how can we practice speaking kind words? It starts with being mindful of our thoughts and words. When we catch ourselves thinking or speaking negatively, we can pause and reframe our words in a more positive light. We can also make a conscious effort to compliment and uplift those around us, whether it's a co-worker, friend, or family member.

In conclusion, the power of our words cannot be overstated. A kind word can transform someone's day and even their life. By practicing speaking kind words, we not only uplift those around us but also shape our beliefs, habits, and ultimately, our reality. So, let's be mindful of our words, remember that our inner child is always listening, and create a ripple effect of kindness and positivity in the world.
