The language of self assurance

The language you use controls your brains. Mastering our language gives you a great degree of mastery over your life and your destiny. It is essential to use language in the besy imaginable way in order to greatly enhance your life.
Even the tiniest of words can have the deepest effect on your sub-conscious mind. It is like a child, it doesn’t really understand the difference between what is real and what you have imagined. It is eager to please and willing to carry out any instructions that you give it - whether you do this consciously or not is entirely up to you.
“Try”
It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon you. If someone says, “I’ll try to do that” you know that they are not going to be putting their whole heart in to it, and may not even do it at all. How often do you use the word try when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say “I’ll try to be more self-confident” or “I’ll try to do that” or “I’ll try to call”?
Think about something that you would like to accomplish, and say it to yourself in two different ways. Firstly say, “I’ll try to …” and notice how you are feeling. Next say “I will do …” and see how different it is
The latter made you feel better than the first one didn’t it? It gives you a sense of self-confidence; a feeling that it will be done. Listen to the people around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not. Remove the word try from your dictionary and see how you feel so much better.
“Can’t”
This is another pocket-sized word with monster impact. It dis-empowers you, makes you feel weak and helpless, and damages your self worth. It limits your infinite abilities and stifles creativity. Erase it from your internal dictionary and replace it with something that makes you feel superb.
Instead of saying you can’t, why not say something like “I choose …” or “I choose not to …”. Using words like this enables you to take back your power and to be in charge of your life.
Words may appear small and insignificant, yet they can have a deep and lasting effect on you. Mastering your language gives you the power to live whatever life you choose.
What words do you use a lot that dis-empower you? Make a list of words you commonly use and then write next to them some alternatives you can use. Ensure these alternatives are words that make you feel wonderful, not only about yourself, but about life and what you are doing!
