31 days of change: Day 22:Change your words

OUR THOUGHTS INFLUENCE OUR WORDS.

According to Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman,

words can literally change your brain.
And the Bible tells us:

Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
-Proverbs 18:21

The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
-Proverbs 12:18

The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
-Proverbs 15:4

SO words are incredibly powerful
and we have to learn to use them in a proper way in our process to change.

Think a moment are your words toward yourself more life giving or life taking?
Think about what you are saying in your mind...Like is it: "this gonna be tough day"-"I'll never make it"- "oh gosh I'm so tired" -"things never work out for me".
Or are you saying: "God is with me"- "I'm so thankful for this day"-"This will be great;with Christ I can do all things"
Maybe you noticed now that maybe your words are more life giving towards other people than toward yourself.
But it is so important how we talk to ourselves!

If you want to change the life you have, you need to change the words you speak.
-Craig Groeschel

You can make just small changes in your words,
but they will make actually a big difference in your life!

So choose your words well!
Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

-Proverbs 16:24
