Question of the Day!

Great question. My first instinct was to just say "yes." I'm glad I read everyone else's posts first though. Robert, Beholden, Jayne and others make great points.

There is a lot of research that shows how our language affects us. It does make a difference. But just saying positive things over and over isn't enough. There has to be truth to it for our minds to believe it.

Tony Robbins used "transformational language" to turn his life around. One of his incantations was: "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." But he didn't just say it. He took action, every day, in every way he could think of, to make himself a better person. We need the words, truth and action.

So, for example, I have serious health challenges. If I just said. "I'm healthy!" all day that would be a lie. My brain wouldn't believe it or act on it. I'd probably feel worse because I was lying to myself.

Instead, I say things like "I'm doing all I can to support my body in becoming healthy." And I ask questions that get my brain working in my favor, like, "What could I do to be healthier?"

I've done some blog posts on this. If you want more information, feel free to search "self talk" on my blog here, they should pop up. "Love, Joy, Peace and Weirdness"
