Empower your Inner Voice!
On October 19th, 2009, by
Throughout your day, notice the thoughts that swirl inside your head? Is your thinking positive or negative? Are your thoughts enhancing your life, or draining the life from you?
You can change your life today! When you empower your inner voice, the impact is profound because an empowered inner voice fuels and energizes you.
Whenever you plant a seed in your garden, something is assured of growing; the question is “Are you harvesting what you desire?” If you plant a seed of corn and expect a tomato to grow, you cannot hope for a harvest of tomatoes because you’re obviously going to get corn. It’s the same with your thinking.
Every seed of thought that you plant will grow into something, and more of its same kind will follow as they are harvested. There is a positive or negative nature to the seeds you are planting within the garden of your mind and they may or may not get you what you actually desire in the harvest of your life or your business.
Your words, combined with the voice of your inner self-talk, have the capacity to be a loving, life-giving force, or to be a critical drain, depleting you of energy and life. Your self-talk conveys underlying messages to yourself and to others that create physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual responses.
When you change your inner self-talk, your perspectives, your reality, and your life experiences will change also. Where you focus your thoughts will make a difference in how you act, in what you speak, and in how you treat yourself and others.
Now the question becomes, “Are your inner thoughts allowing you to be the person you are created you to be?”
Today, practice empowering your inner voice. Eliminate words like “should”, “have to”, and “can’t”. Replace these with empowering words like, “I desire”, “I choose”, “I will”.
What impact does this change have on your demeanor? Your actions? Your attitude? What do you imagine will change in your life and your business?

Good reminder Shannon.
This is nothing I don’t already know to do but how quickly I forget and slip back into negative talk w out even realizing. Or fear talk!!
I try and throw in “I know” in front of a lot of positive statements.
Someone told me to use I know in terms of “knowingness”/affirmation (vs Mr Know All)
What is your opinion on that?
Thanks
Larry

Thanks for your comments Larry. It’s true…we know this message but because we are bombarded daily with many things to do and lots of distractions, we must guard our hearts and minds. So glad this post was a helpful reminder.
I do think “knowingness” is different than “Mr. Know All”. When my clients connect with the truth in their hearts, this comes from a deep and core “knowing” place. I think Mr. Know All is probably from the ego vs. the core of one’s being. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Shannon,
Great blog write today! I agree with Larry, too – “stuff we know” -yet good reminders for when the “slip happens”! (Banana peel slip!) Oooh – that fear talk gets me, too!
In my garden I have occasionally planted seeds and expected something else to grow! Sometimes I’ve been careless about what I was planting where, too. What was I thinking? Obviously I wasn’t really managing or paying attention to what I was thinking, planting, speaking, and growing. Wow was harvest an interesting season for me!
I choose: good words, good thoughts, and an abundant harvest!
And I will share the harvest!
