What spells are you casting?I’m not talking about witch craft, or even anything that woo-woo. What are the words you are speaking? What are the words you are listening to? What are the words you are reading? A friend shared a quote from the great Bruce Lee with me this week: “Don’t speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn’t know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that’s why it’s called spelling.” Talk about being spell-bound – this quote hit me straight in the heart! We are all guilty of getting pulled into complaining, gossip, bonding over negative life events, and re-telling our stories of victimhood. We are also surrounded by negative media, slander of public figures, and a cancellation culture that is hell bent on division. It actually takes effort to steer clear of negativity because our brains are constantly scanning the environment for what is wrong. Yet our bodies are constantly listening to us, and will thrive and return to their natural state of health and ease when fed loving, grateful, and hopeful words. Your words are either chains or wings. Choose wisely. |
