Welcome to the divine healing podcast. I'm your host family, the divine, and welcome to episode number four, the power of words. So this is your first time listening. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for pressing the play button. And if you are a returning live. Welcome back. So today we're going to talk about the power of words.

We have all heard the phrase, speaking things into existence, or be careful what you ask for. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Both of those statements are very true words. Whether spoken out loud, spoken quietly in our heads or written down on a piece of paper are very powerful.

In today's episode, we are going to talk about. Ways to use words, to transform your life, how to find your voice ways to boost your confidence and personal power using words, and some things you may want to avoid. Again, words are powerful. They can be used to uplift and encourage just as they can be used to degrade curse or hex.

So this is why we want to be mindful of what it is that we are speaking out loud, whether it is to ourselves is to other people, things we may be speaking internally in our minds about ourselves as well, because words can shape the way that we feel about ourselves words. If they're negative, they can put a damper on how we're feeling about ourselves.

Just like if they're positive, they can uplift our mood and raise our vibration. Words can be used to tell stories.  To set boundaries. Words can be used to teach, to inspire.  Birds can be used in a variety of. Of different ways. Proverbs 1821 says death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

So literally words can be used. To change your life.  They can be used to shift things in your favor. They can be used to manifest the desired outcomes. They can be used to release things you no longer wish to hold on to words are important. So how many of us.  Have failed at something we were trying to accomplish, or we know that we need to do something, but we are experiencing a moment of self doubt or  we're feeling inadequate. How many of us have pervaded ourselves? How many of us have beat ourselves up? How many of us have talked down on ourselves? Because we couldn't complete or accomplish. I have, we all have.  That's one of those things that we want to be mindful about. Not only when speaking to ourselves, but also speaking to other people, especially if you have children or you have a partner, you want to be mindful of what it is that you're saying out loud, or even internally to yourself.

Sometimes it's not always what you say is how you say it.  You want to be mindful of. Your tone, you want to be mindful of your diction. Of the words that you're choosing.  If you're angry or upset about something, Try not to lash out at people. Try not to have negative loud outbursts.

If you need to take a, take a walk, take a walk, take a step away, step out of the room, walk away and gather your thoughts, come back and then say what it is that you need to say, because please understand people may not always remember exactly what you said to them, but they will remember how you made them feel.

And I think that's really the bigger thing. It's not what you say is how you say it because  words, evoke emotions in people. So if I come to you and I speak to you in a positive, sweet voice, or I put some honey on it, as I like to refer to it, that's going to sound very different than I, if I came in here, charging in the room and basically attacking you and interrogating you and asking you all these questions, or maybe accusing you of something when we haven't even had a proper chance.

However introduction or have a conversation. So we want to be mindful of berating and putting ourselves down when we make mistakes, when we are having feelings of self-doubt, if you are engaging in negative self-talk to stop it. I know in a perfect world, we wouldn't do this and it happens from time to time.

But whenever you feel a negative thought creeping in about yourself, especially when you know, it's not true. Or a negative thought creeping in about somebody else. This is very important. When you are speaking to your partners, try to reframe it with something positive. I know sometimes I have a thought pop into my mind is like, okay, hold on, girl.

We don't have time for this. This is not what we're doing today. We don't have time for this and reframing it with something more positive. As far as tone and diction. I know I can be a very straightforward person. Some people can read that as being blunt or being rude and that's truly not my intention, but that is something that I have had to come to and grow to be mindful of.

When I speak to people is very different. If I am approaching my partner, my boyfriend, my husband, my whomever. And I'm just going off like, you know, and you did this or you shouldn't have it. And dah, dah, dah, dah, as opposed to, you know what sweetheart, when you did such and such, that really bothered me.

And here's why it bothered me. So would it be possible for you to refrain from. Such-and-such that would really make me happy. Don't you think they'll respond much better as opposed to you just coming in and going for the juggler? Cause that's gonna put them on the defensive you're approaching them and you're being aggressive.

That's gonna put them on the defensive and the message may be lost in the translation because they're. It's a fee off of your Q and your energy. So if I come in here and I'm angry and I'm yelling and I'm aggressive, they're going to go on the defensive. And what do you think they're going to respond with the same type of behavior?

Most of the time, some people are calm and collected enough to realize, I think at this point in my life, I'm just like, wait a minute, you need to calm down. You're not going to talk to me like that. Come back when you've calmed down and you can talk to me like you have some. We're adults. We can have a conversation like to civilized people.

So if you are not able to do that right now, can you please go take a breather and gather your thoughts and then come back. Everybody not going to respond like that. Some people don't know how to respond like that. They haven't evolved far enough in their journey to be able to do that. And sometimes it might just matter on whatever the subject matter is.

If it's a hot button issue for the both of you. And you're still in your feelings and emotions about it. You may not even be at that point. So I was just holding off on the conversation until you can get there because nothing is going to be accomplished. If you're both screaming and hollering at each other.

The other thing is sometimes folks saying, oh, I just said that because I was mad. I didn't mean it. You know what? That's one thing I do not tolerate that one thing about me. I'm going to speak to you quickly. And concisely because I've learned how to choose my words carefully. I'm not going to let you take me out of my character and please believe whatever it is that I say to you.

I say what I mean. And I mean, what I say, I don't believe in that whole. Oh, I just say that because I was mad. I didn't mean it. No. You said what you were really feeling. You didn't know how to articulate it appropriately and deep down. That's really how you feel. And that's why it came out in the heat of the.

 I just feel like that's dishonest or maybe some people they don't have boundaries. So they may be saying things and hitting below the belt. I'm sorry. Know if we are in a loving, caring relationship, whether it's romantic partnership, whether it's friendship, whether it's family members, I don't care what the situation is.

If you yell at me and you come back and say, oh, I just said that because I was mad. No, I'm going to take what you said for Facebook. You said what you said, I'm going to respond and say what I said, and that's going to be the end of it. I'm not going to tolerate you speaking to me like you're crazy and I'm not going to tolerate you being disrespectful.

Sometimes you just have to put your foot down. If you're engaging in a conversation with somebody who, and you're on the receiving end of negative words somebody putting you down, somebody berating, you somebody's being mean they're. Accusing you of things maybe that you didn't do. Sometimes you may be on the receiving end of whether you need to learn how to set the boundary and use your voice, speak up for yourself so that you can mitigate that situation.

You dictate how people are going to treat you. Nobody else. Find your voice, speak up, be assertive, be clear and concise. If you need to take a breather and think about what it is that you need to say. Let them know that and come back, don't let them follow you around the house or wherever it is, you know, making jabs and trying to provoke you to say things take the time that you need to think about what it is that you're going to say.

Because again, words are very powerful in how you approach the situation, whether it's being positive versus negative is going to shift the.

Something else to think about as it relates to finding and using your voice, if there is something that is bothering you, please speak up about it. Now we may want to think about taking it to that person in love or putting some honey on it. But if something is bothering you, please speak up about it and let them know, because what happens is.

They're like, oh, it's not that big of a deal. Oh, it's not worth me saying anything. The other person may genuinely not know that whatever it is that they're doing is getting on your last nerve that it's bothering them. That it's impacting them negatively. I mean, sometimes they do know, and sometimes they just may not be thinking about it.

I don't know that I'm getting on your nerves if you don't tell me. And if you don't tell me it does not give me an opportunity to fix. And what happens is you hold onto it and you hold on to it or you hold onto it and you hold on to it. And then it blows up

and then it's just like, okay, well now it's been blown out of proportion. And sometimes when you get to the point of a blow up, or there's a disagreement, or there's an argument, if you all can't come to a resolution, you may not come back from that. So I always ask, well, to please be transparent with me, but also understand that I'm going to be transparent with you.

If you're doing something that's driving me. I'm going to let you know, maybe not the first time, I'll be honest, but I'm gonna let you know. And also keep in mind that if you come to me and let me know, I'm not saying that I'm going to respond with peaches and cream, cause I might legit be mad and I might let you be irritated and it might offend me, but that's okay.

I'll be okay. Just get. I'll be okay, but I'm happy that you were transparent with me and you let me know. So I know that there is an area of improvement for me there, and I can be more mindful and cognizant of it and think about how you're feeling and consider your feelings in future interactions. That was something that I definitely had to learn the hard way, because I was one of those people where I just, you know, Brush things under the rug or put them on the back burner.

But I realized that letting things blow up to the point of no return does not serve me. It doesn't serve the other person either, but that's definitely something I had. So you do and learn to use my voice so that I could shift things into my favorite because sometimes it's really something so simple.

And my. That can be fixed easily in the beginning. That could be nipped in the bud, as opposed to letting something faster and faster and faster. And now it blows up into an argument. Other things we want to be mindful of as it relates to using Virgin negatively.

Are you a complainer? Do you nag about things all the time? Misery loves company. If you are always complaining about this and complaining about that and complain, it is very negative and it will bleed into the people around you. Now don't confuse, complaining or nagging with venting. We all are in a position from time to time where we need to vent about things.

Venting is okay. I need to really get this off my chest. If I don't, I'm going to burst and you are releasing all of the things that you need, basically just blowing off state and that can be verbally. You can be talking to someone else that can be internally in your mind. That can be you doing a brain dump in your journal, but just releasing all of that energy out and into the atmosphere so that it's no longer being held up in your mind and your.

Visiting. It's usually a solution-based thing, so, okay. I blown off all the steam. I've gotten everything on. I needed to say, Ooh, that felt great. Now, what am I going to do? Where do I go from here? What are my next steps? That's the difference between that between venting versus complaining and nagging with complaining and nagging, you kind of end up in this same loop of negative self.

And it's just the same thing over and over and over you come home everyday. Oh my God. I hate this job. Oh my God. I hate this job. I hate everything. I hate everybody. And I would think you would get tired of hearing yourself, say the same thing stuff over and over again. Okay. You're complaining. You're nagging.

And we have all met someone who was so negative about everything. Everything was just bad. You could say, oh, the sun is shining bright today and they have some negative say about. We've all encountered people like that. And a lot of times those folks are miserable and they're in a bad mental state because of things that they have going on with them.

And if they don't learn how to reframe those things and make them positive, they're just gonna stay stuck in that loop. If that's you trying to find ways to reframe those thoughts, if something is really that horrible, that say you hate your job and you're complaining about your job. Well, are there things you can do to make.

Can you look for me position, maybe you can move into a new role, you know, your current department, maybe that means seeking employment elsewhere. Sometimes the easiest way to get out of a bad situation is to remove yourself before you are removed. For some reason,

maybe just change. Your mindset around it over. I hate this job. It's too much. I'm tired. I'm this? I don't like that too. In the morning, you're getting ready to go to work. Maybe you're sitting in a parking lot in your car and is okay, I'm getting ready to go in here to work today. I'm going to do my best to have a great.

I'm going to learn all that I can learn.

I'm going to do the best that I can do. I'm going to be calm and peaceful. I'm going to focus on the tasks that I need to complete today and anything that I do not complete today.

Tomorrow's. Even if you just have to sit there and say something simple like that before you go in the building, do what you need to do, but it does not serve you to continue to stay in this loop of complaining about how you hate something. If you're not going to do anything about it, especially when it comes to jobs.

Sometimes you're stuck in a situation because there's some information that you need there. That's going to help you in your next step. So you need to stay there long enough to gather that info. But if you're caught up at how much you hated it, how much you don't like it and how poorly they pay you and whatever else that you don't like, you may miss out.

And you may miss whatever messages you need to receive. You may miss out on gathering whatever information you need to gather, because you're just being negative and nobody wants to be around a negative Nancy. So something to think. Something else we don't want to do. Okay. We don't want to be aggressive, overly aggressive.

We also don't want to be passive aggressive. We all know people who take Siler shots at you. Maybe they're on the internet and they're making some posts, tweets, people who don't come out and say directly what it is that they mean.

People who they'll talk around you to everybody else instead of addressing the person that they have the issue with. When it's you,

people who make snide snarky comments, you know, without really coming out and saying what it is that they need to say, we've all dealt with passive aggressive people. Don't be that person. Nobody likes the passive aggressive person. And the thing is, if you really have something to say, Use your voice and say it, spit it out and say it with your chest,

put some power behind them words, let them know. You mean business. Be confident in what it is that you're saying. Be clear and concise. That way. There's no confusion about anything. That's the one thing with passive aggressive. People want to say little stuff and they say it, but they don't say it. And as soon as you confront them about it, I didn't see.

Oh, no, what'd you talk? That's not what I meant. Well, if you're clear and concise, when you speak to people, there won't be no confusion. You ever want to know something? I said, maybe not in your presence, come back and ask me because I will gladly repeat it for you. No problem.

Some ways we can invite positivity in our lives while using words. We just talked about giving yourself a little positive. Hype yourself up. Be your own hype man.  If you're working on something or you're getting ready to go do something big, maybe you have a presentation at work.

Maybe you're going out, hype yourself up. Maybe that means you have a pregame playlist. I know that's something that I do. I have a playlist for different moods. One of them is actually titled feel good. Hype yourself up. Think about. Songs that make you feel good that give you a confidence boost.

Maybe there's using your affirmations. We've talked about this in several episodes. Now speaking positivity into your life. Take some time to think about

what it is that you want to say and how to articulate your wants and needs. Clearly again, being mindful of tone, indiction. You ever be in a restaurant and you see them, people that treat the service like crap. Hey, give me a set, a set of such you can easily reframe that. Oh, sweetheart. Would it be possible for me to get another spoon?

I'd run around on the floor. Thank you so much. That's a big difference then shouting commands at the person. You really think they gonna want to go get you with phone after you didn't yelled at him? No.

A simple shift in tone. I can get you what it is that you need. They'll talk to me like you're crazy.

Are there ways to invite positivity into your life while using words we talked about using affirmations. We talked about listening to positive and uplifting. Be mindful of the music that you are listening to.

There can be a lot of negative subconscious messages in music. Now I'm not saying everybody got to sit around and listen to binaural beats all day, but just be mindful of what it is that you're listening to. Because if you're listening to a lot of the same kind of thing, those words and those phrases and those concepts, especially if you're playing songs on repeat, are being drilled into your head.

We all have different things that we listen to. I know, rap music, trap music, that kind of stuff. That's like one of my guilty pleasures I wrote as a bartender for many years, a lot of the music that I have come to Nova's from hearing it in the bar, every weekend, every night that I worked I mean, just be mindful of what it is that you're listening to.

Even if it's just TV shows that you're watching. Maybe you like YouTube, maybe you like podcasts. I don't know. I find that podcast seems to be pretty positive and information. I don't know if there are any negative podcasts. I mean, I guess folks could be complaining and nagging on a podcast. I wouldn't be listening to that, but I mean, it's possible.

As far as music goes, one thing that I've come to notice, especially as it relates to rap. Also sometimes R and B music. They are full of affirmations, especially rap music. I referenced that quote, that Flo milli quote a couple of episodes ago, I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am rich. I am that bitch.

That's just affirmation stacking. But if you really think about it, a lot of the songs that we listen to, especially when it's rap. They're always talking about how much money they have, how successful they are, what kind of car they drive, how much they get paid to do a show, how high they are for the women.

A lot of times, it's how good you look, how good you are in bed. Like all those kinds of stuff. All of that is just hyping themselves up. And when you find yourself singing that stuff, especially if it's something positive or something that you want to manifest, they are literally speaking those things into existence.

And we all know that sometimes folks are saying stuff or records that may not necessarily be true yet. They could be rapping about how much money they have, and they might not even really to have no money for all we know, but just putting that stuff out there and affirming it is speaking things into existence.

Something that comes to mind for me specifically is Beyonce. Love Beyonce music. If I'm getting ready to go about it's a girl's night, please believe I'm putting my Beyonce playlist on. I remember when I got married and we were there getting dressed, me and my mom and my maid of honor, I had a whole Beyonce playlist, and that was what we were listening to, that we were dancing to.

As we were getting dressed, I was getting hyped up to walk down that aisle loved Beyonce music. Formation. If you think about it, I see it. I want it. I start yellow on it. I dream it. I work hard. I grind to. Speak those things into existence. Lizzo has a song on a radio right now about Cardi B and one of the lines that jumps out for me.

I am body goals. Yeah. Okay. Boom, city girls. Some people don't like city girls I'll work jobs, bitch. I am a job. Okay. Entrepreneurship,

Cardi B money. That whole song is full of a bunch of stuff that you can have. That's all my money. Magic playlist. Again, think about making. For moods. Do I listen to Cardi B all day everyday? No, I like other folks too. I'm an army sign that comes to mind, Joe. Scott's golden living my life. Like it's golden.

There's a lot of positive statements and affirmations and that song. Another one that jumps out and comes to mind for me is your ivory. I'm not your average girl from the video and I'm not built like a supermodel, but I learned to love myself unconditionally because I am a queen. I'm not a singer. So if that offended you, sorry, Bo Beyonce, diva, all kinds of hype woman quotes and that song.

Just be mindful of what it is that you're listening to. Now, I'm not saying that you got to throw out your Rick Ross DDS, whoever it is that you listen to. I love Rick Ross. I love Jeezy. I love to chains or. They're always talking about how much money how rich they are, how many cars they drive, they, how many bad ass women they got all of that stuff, but just be mindful of the things that you are listening to.

And then sometimes you just remember that you may want some of those things in your life, too. Somebody posted the other day, it was a a loop and it was. I'm booked. I'm busy. I'm into man. I'm doing everything. According to the plan. I trust myself, just a universe. I'm putting myself at my dreams. First love that it was stuck in my head all day.

As I'm walking around in the grocery store, in my car. And what am I chanting in my head chanting? That's another. That you can invite positivity into your life. If you have something like that, it could be anything, it could be any type of affirmation or mantra that you are using to manifest whatever it is that you were working on.

If you're working on your finances, chat, something like that. Repeat something like that. The point is to repeat it consistently so that it replays as a loop in your brain. You may have loops in your brain that have the replay in your whole life. Maybe things people told you as a child, they could be positive.

They also could be negative things, especially if you have those negative loops, replace them with positive ones. There's a book that I've been reading is called the wealthy spirit daily affirmations for financial stress reduction is by a woman named Shelley Campbell. I will put the link in the show notes, but the cool thing about this book is it's 365 short stories.

Every day, you read one. So we're building habits here. They say it takes 21 days to build a. Each day I read whatever the story is for the day. There's usually a quote, there's some sort of story or anecdote as it relates to money, wealth, abundance, that type of thing. It's a lot of mindset work.

And then there is an affirmation each day at the end of it. For today, I think the affirmation was I gratefully receive and enjoy life surprise packages. That will be what I meditate on. Just something to think about. I will put that in the show notes, this kind of brings me to mind like those devotional books that people use.

I remember we used to read them in church. everyday it has like a devotion and a scripture and something like that, this function similarly to that. So if there's something, maybe you have a calendar and it has affirmation. Again, maybe you're sticking them up on post-it notes so you can see them.

You're writing them by hand. If you have something that you're working on and you're trying to manifest something, maybe find an affirmation that's in alignment with that and putting it as the background on your phone or on your computer or a tablet, maybe setting alarms on your phone throughout the day, so that it'll pop up, like an appointment and it'll say something, you know, positive.

Just something to remind you that this is what we're working. Maybe we're just working on being a positive. Maybe we're just working on inviting positivity into our life or maybe abundance or we're trying to manifest money. We're trying to manifest love. We're trying to heal. You can use affirmations and alignment with what it is that you are trying to manifest.

The same goes for writing petitions. If you are a metaphysical practitioner and you work with. Candles you maybe practice candle magic. Maybe you do practice earth magic. You work with crystals, roots herbs. Maybe you take spiritual baths. Maybe you practice air magic. Keep in mind affirmation spoken, word prayer, all of those types of things.

That's a form of air mag. When you're preparing your bath, you should be speaking into it and speaking what it is that you want the herbs to do the oils, whatever it else that is that you're using. You're speaking into those things and calling forth those properties and those powers so that they can assist you in whatever it is that you're trying to manifest and create.

Pray over your bath and speak what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Pray over your bottle of water before you drink it. Are you inject? Pray over your candles, pray over your crystals, speak what it is that you are trying to accomplish out loud and into those objects, because remember they are tools that you are using to assist you in whatever it is that you are manifesting at that time.

We talked about positive. Self-talk giving yourself a pep talk. We talked about using affirmations, mantras, and now just prayer. Same thing. Making positive habits. So maybe that's using a book, like I just talked about and reading something every day. Maybe it's just, you jotting something down yourself every day in your journal.

Another way you can use affirmations is by the use of affirmation cards. I'm going to do a video about that impulse that I have some that I like. There's one that I have sitting here. And they are, I believe I got these from Amazon, but it's daily. Affirmations for financial abundance and wealth.

I don't know, but I did with the box. I was just looking at it a minute ago. But I got these cards. I think I got them on Amazon. If I can find them, I'll put them in the show notes, but literally it's a card each day and it just has an affirmation on it. So you could pull money each day and meditate on it.

I'll do a video on use your affirmation cards. I've also used Oracle cards to taro cards with similar. Purposes and then journaled about it. But I was with video or how to use that as far as tools go. Now once we found our voice and we've learned how she speak clearly and concisely and choose our words carefully, how to reframe negative thoughts and self-talk into positive ones.

Now use your voice to your.

You are speaking out loud, the things that you want to manifest in your life. Maybe you're writing them down in the form of a petition, but how can you use your voice to help out? Maybe it's in your job, maybe it is. You're teaching your training. You are doing presentations. Maybe you're doing a Ted talk.

Maybe you have a podcast, a YouTube channel. You're writing a book all of those ways, but all of those are ways you can use words to be impactful impact. And be a blessing to somebody else. Maybe you speak in the community, maybe you mentor children or peers, maybe you're mentoring someone that's younger than you.

And just starting out in the same career field. Maybe you are mentoring somebody through your church or religious practices, or there's some sort of mentoring going that way. Maybe you're telling stories. Maybe you're a historian again. Maybe you're hosting some kind of show podcast, television show. YouTube channel something like that, sharing the word and spreading what it is that you know, what about paying somebody else a compliment.

Sometimes if you say something positive to somebody else, especially when it's a stranger that just may make their day. That's another way that you can invite positivity in your life. You're paying somebody else. You're putting that good vibration, that good energy out into the universe, understand that everything in life is an energy exchange.

Whatever you put out into the universe is going to come back to you, whether it's positive or negative, I would much rather refer my blessings to come back to me, tenfold positively. Right. And sometimes it's just, it just takes a moment of being kind another weird way. I like to pay back. It's by surveys.

I've worked in jobs where, there were guests or customer surveys, and that impacted, our performance reviews and our ratings. It also may have impacted our compensation, but just as people complain and maybe you, you, you get pulled up, you get written up, you get in trouble, or there's a learning opportunity there.

They can work positively too. There've been situations where I've gotten a compliment from a customer didn't even know about it. Maybe I've got to give. Maybe I got some vacation time. Maybe I got some money. Maybe I got an award at work. But knowing that I've worked in situations like that, where I needed to, score perfectly or get a high score on a survey, those are the things that I keep in mind when I I've been providing service to people.

But the other thing is this, how often is it that we go out and we complain when the surface is. We all do that. And they say that folks are, so I believe it's seven times more likely to share a bad experience with someone than a Goodman. But how many times do you, asked for the manager when somebody does a really good.

How many times do we go out of our way to fill out a survey, but we have a good experience. For some reason, it just seems like we're more prone to do it when there's something bad that happens. And the other thing is sometimes people just be having a bad day. I know I had a plenty of days where I didn't want to be at work and my mood probably showed it and I probably had attitude and I probably went through on what I was supposed to do.

And that may have reflected poorly in my performance. Sometimes it's just like, We all have things going on with ourselves. You never know what people are dealing with outside of that particular situation. We all may not be able to leave those things at the door. So also extended grace for people.

But that's one thing that I really like to do. I, whenever I get a survey, I always fill it out. And if I received, some extra out of the way, Above and beyond service, I will write an email. I will send a compliment. I will let the manager know because again, something like that really can make somebodies day and you never know what, they may receive some money or a gift or, you know, a promotion or anything behind that.

That's another way that you can use words powerful. Maybe that doesn't change your lives directly, but it may directly change someone else's. I'm just going to sum all of this up and saying this words are powerful.

Be mindful and careful about the words that you are using in your life. Words can be positive. They can be uplifting. They can be encouraging. They can be used to affirm. They can also be used to degrade, to curse, to hex, to make people feel horrible. Whether it's you talking to yourself or you're talking to someone else, be very mindful about the words that you choose when you were speaking to people, be mindful of your tone and your day.

If you need to take a walk to gather your thoughts before you open your mouth or you fire off that email in all capital letters, be mindful of that because sometimes what you asked for or what you speak may very well be just what you get. We talked about the things we want to avoid. We've talked.

Ways to counteract those things that we want to avoid. So positive things we can do. We've talked about ways to use your voice, to invite change into your life, to speak things into existence. We talked about praying over your tools. We talked about. Writing things down. If we're writing a petition, if we're writing down our goals in our journal, we've talked about using affirmations to speak positive things about ourselves into existence.

You cannot really use your voice to change your life, whether it's just raising your vibe by using affirmations or just writing your goals down. Setting your intentions. I'm going to do a separate episode about golden intentions, especially as we get closer to the new year. This is usually that time when people are setting their new year's resolutions, which I don't normally do.

We'll talk about that. But just know that you can change your life just by the virtue of using choosing the words that you use carefully by being intentional about what it is that you're saying by speaking the things that you want to draw in, and also understanding that once you find it useful, You can't use it to be a blessing to other people and just know that that will come back tenfold and be a blessing to you.

The last thing I want to say is keep in mind that, you know, while we're doing all these positive things and we're speaking things into existence, and we're calling for our blessings, ask for what it is that you want once, you know what that is, think about what that is, write it down, but also keep in mind.

You have to mix the magical with the Monday Monday, mean regular being regular life things. Faith without works is dead. All the affirmations are positive self-talk and journaling and the world alone. It's not going to change your life unless you also that. Whatever it is that you need to do in the road life to bring those things that you want into fruition, that could be just taking a class that could be educating yourself.

That could be clearing blockages, that could be doing your healing work. That could be going to therapy. That could be narrowing down what your wants and desires are, whatever it is that you need to do in this realm to make it happen. You have to do both because they work in tandem. Just speaking, I'm going to be a million.

I am a millionaire. I'm sorry. Remember we speak things into your affirmative. I am a millionaire gone to church and praying for a brand new house, asking God for the house. Will you get the house? If you ask God for it? Yeah, you might buy, why wouldn't you want to put all of the time and energy you can into backing up that request.

Other than just, you know, making an empty request. Understand that you have to do both the magical and the mundane have to work together. All the affirmations and positive self-talk in the world alone will not bring you your desires. You have to put in the work in the smile.

I'm going to leave you all.
