Most of us have a routine we follow when we begin our day. Whether you work the evening shift, sleep in until noon or watch the sun rise, we have habits that we follow day in and day out. One of those includes choosing our wardrobe. For some, it is based on what is clean and easy to reach. Others take great care in finding just the right outfit.
No matter which category you fall into, I ask you “What words do you wear?”
As you stand in front of the mirror how are you dressing your mind? Are you draped in words of happiness filled with the anticipation of a new day? Or, are you covered in gloom and negativity?
Are you wearing the same words each day as if they are a uniform? Or, do you experiment with new selections of thought that bring joy and pleasure into your life?
Use this simple exercise to uncover the wardrobe of your mind. Think of the first three words that best describe you. Write them down somewhere in the order that they entered your mind. Look at the first word and picture it as if it could wrap itself around you. Imagine it is so close to your skin that you can feel yourself absorb the word into your body.
This, my friend, is your self talk.
Now, envision the next word you wrote down enfolding you. Again, it becomes such a strong mental garment that it sets the tone of your feelings and exemplifies your view of you.
Complete your ensemble with the last word you listed making it a tight fit. Do you wear it well or is it choking off possibilities?
This is your own collection. It has your signature. It is a line only you can carry. And, these words that you bear shape the way you live your life
Do you like what you have on? Or, do you need a makeover?
