#13 The Weight of Our Words

Send us Fan MailOur words carry significant weight, especially the ones we use in our own thoughts. The language patterns of "I have to," "I need to," "I should," and "I can't" create feelings of powerlessness and anxiety in our daily lives.• Feeling overwhelmed or anxious often stems from our thoughts, not our circumstances• These feelings typically emerge when we use disempowering language in our internal dialogue• Challenging the truth of statements like "I need to" or "I have to" reveals that very few things are absolute necessities• Replacing disempowering language with phrases like "I choose to," "I get to," or "I will" creates a sense of agency• Even when responsibilities feel unavoidable, reframing how we think about them alleviates pressure• God's voice is convicting but not condemning, loving not accusing, and His burden is light• If your thoughts make you feel heavily burdened, they're likely not from God• Small shifts in language can create significant changes in how we feel and approach our responsibilitiesIf you have any questions or would like to go deeper into this topic or how it affects you in your own life, you can find me at sharonkcoaching.com.Click the link below to set up a free discovery call to begin your transformation today.  Or email me @ [email protected] to find out more about how I can help.  https://calendly.com/smurph923-sm/discovery-callhttps://sharonkcoaching.com/https://subscribepage.io/The-Five-Things-Your-Adult-Child-Needs-to-Hear-From-You
