I remember being a kid…
Using a naughty word
And getting a ‘watch your language’..
And never did I realise just how important language was…
I mean, ever said:
“I should drink more water”
“I should eat that really but..”
“I should exercise more”
“I should go for a walk”
How do you feel when you say this?
Sounds a bit like hard work right?
Like you have sooo much to do.
Now let’s switch to it:
“I get to drink more water”
“I get to eat more veg”
“I get to exercise more”
“I get to go for a walk”
“I get to go to bed early”
Because all of these things
Give you:
More energy
More strengthen
Make everyday tasks easier
Make you more toned
I could go on.
And these are the things you want, right?
So is that you ‘should’ or
Is that you GET TO do it?
It’s a reminder that you have a choice.
And we could go deeper.
Rather than ‘there is nothing I can do about it”
Change to
“What COULD I do?”
Rather than “why does this happen to me”
Change to
“What does this happen FOR me”
What you say
How you talk to yourself..
Impacts what you do!
