Abracadabra: Your Words Create Your Tomorrow
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.”
The words we speak to others will either build them up or tear them down. We have all been guilty of letting hurtful words come out of our mouth only to hurt someone else. We cannot get those words back can we? On that same note, how many times have we spoken hurtful words about ourselves…it does the same damage, right?
“I am so dumb or stupid.” “I am worthless.” “I don’t deserve good in my life.” “I am a klutz.”
Whether you are starting a New Year or a New Path, you need to overcome and conquer those self-limiting beliefs you say about yourself, especially when you are writing out your plans and goals. If you don’t, you will subconsciously write goals that are reasonable or manageable for you to accomplish based on your self-limiting beliefs.
Don’t sabotage all your hard work that has gotten you to where you are today by speaking words that tear down and destroy.
ABRACADABRA. The word is derived from an Aramaic phrase that means “I create as I speak.” In the Hebrew language it translates into “It came to pass as it was spoken.”
Many of us have grown up around magic acts. Usually, just before the magic act hits a crescendo, the magician says, “ABRACADABRA.” That one word sparked your interest and kept you at the edge of your seat. Why? Because you knew something awesome was about to happen, right?
ABRACADABRA – What words are you speaking my friend that are creating your today and your tomorrow? What words are you speaking that are creating something awesome that is about to happen in your life? The truth is those spoken words, which are creating something as you speak, will come to pass. You may not know when those spoken words will manifest, but they will. The good news is it is not too late to change how you speak over you and your future.
ABRACADABRA - Have you heard about the experiments on plants? Three plants were placed in different rooms. In one room, kind words were spoken to the plant. In the second room, harsh words were spoken over the plant. In the third room, there was nothing spoken over the plant. As you may have figured out, the plant which had kind words spoken over it grew a little more than the other two.
WORDS (and the type of words) are important. Words affect you and the world around you, even the plants! Are your spoken words promoting and moving you forward to great things or are they distracting you and causing you to water down your dreams and the vision for your future?
A Single Word Can Change You
In their jointly written book, Words Can Change Your Brain, Dr. Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist at Thomas Jefferson University, and Mark Robert Waldman, a communications expert state, “a single word has the power to influence the expression of genes that regulate physical and emotional stress.”
By taking control of your thoughts and speaking edifying words you can quite literally change your reality.
CALL TO ACTION
*Write down those negative words/thoughts you have spoken over yourself onto separate pieces of paper. Next, take each piece of paper and burn it over a dish. Let the burned paper and the attached words fall into the dish and say, “I am not going to take these negative words, thoughts or actions into my future.”
*Think This / Not That. Plan to have an edifying/uplifting replacement word or phrase ready so you can quickly cast down any negative words that try to tear you down, along with your dreams and your goals.
*Diet Negativity. Just like a diet where you eliminate unhealthy foods, do the same with negative WORDS. Choose to watch the WORDS you speak so you will create the future you see in your mind (and on your vision board)! Make your WORDS work for you not against you.
*What is your ABRACADABRA spoken word? What is it creating? What does your tomorrow look like?
*Rinse and Repeat
