Received an email today from a person that heard me speak in California. She requested clarification on a statement I made about taking control of some part in our lives. She was referring to a comment that stated”If we wish to alter a habit or any constant behavior one place to begin is with our speech”. The point that I was trying to make is that self talk goes directly to our brain and much of what we do is governed and supported by what we say to ourselves. If you wish to have a new choice it is imperative to substitute new words which send new signals. If you consistently tell your brain that you cannot change then the results will follow your words. I truly believe that one of the most critical things we can do to create new choices in our lives is to monitor our speech and adjust to new words.
