What You Declare Shapes What You Create

Hi beautiful!

Many years ago I heard Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soup) on a podcast talking about the power of language and the effect of the words we use on our lives. It was on that day that I decided to stop using words such as ‘hate’ and ‘stupid’ and become really intentional about my language.

Since then, I’ve discovered just how powerful words are in creating your reality. From scripture to self-help books, the message is the same - creation starts with a thought, then a word, then action, to ultimately manifest in physical reality.

The words we speak literally create what we bring into our lives.

While I’m not perfect by any stretch, I am committed to being extremely intentional about the language I use and what I speak out loud.

Did you know that your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between what is “real” and what is “not yet here”?

A real life example of this is what I used to tell myself every December. “I always get sick around Christmas”. And guess what? I did. It’s the classic self-fulfilling prophecy. I try to not even use the word ‘sick’ in any context. Rather, my mantra the past few months has been “I am strong and healthy”. That’s come true as well.

It’s why I’m so picky about clients telling me things like, “I hope that this year, I achieve….” or “I think I’d like to do….”

Instead, I encourage them (and you) to DECLARE what you want.

“This year I WILL ….”

“I WANT to achieve …. ”

“I AM …. ”

A brilliant exercise is to write out your goals in the present tense, as if you’ve already achieved them. Read these to yourself every day. What your brain consistently hears, will start to create ideas, solutions, and opportunities for.

I encourage you to start becoming more aware of the language you use and the words you say (this includes the words you tell yourself in your head).

• How can you start changing your language to feel more empowered and positive?

• What do you really want to achieve this year? Declare it out loud every day.

• Embrace that you’re the creator of your reality and see what possibilities open up for you.
