I’m a firm believer in speaking things into existence. Words carry power. Words can change people. Words can change lives. As a writer, I put a lot of faith into words. Faith that I will write what someone needs to read. Faith that that person will find my writing. Faith that what I say will change someone in a positive way. And we have the power to do that in our own lives as well.
Every morning my children and I do an affirmations exercise. In our 2021-2022 homeschool year we had a affirmation saying that we said every single day. They would originally repeat after me, but after doing it every day, they quickly learned it themselves. The sayings went like this- “I am strong. I am kind. I am caring. I will treat others the way I would want to be treated. I am smart. I will try my very best today.” We said those words every single day for months. And there’s a reason for that. I want my children to believe those things about themselves. I want them to grow up being confident, kind, and caring people. So that’s why we say those things. Because words matter. Words are powerful. They can change you for the better. But words can also change you for the worse. Imagine if all we did was beat ourselves up every single day. “I am not smart. I’m not strong. I really suck sometimes.” We would start to believe those words and in turn so would the people around us.
Your words matter. They are important. Your words are only yours and no one else’s. So what will you speak into existence today? What words will you write? What words will you repeat? What will you say to yourself? Find your words and use them for good. Because your words truly do matter.
