or too early, to design, create and live the life of your dreams! Get help with your training, speaking, coaching, writing, and consulting needs. I work with individuals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, educational and non-profit organizations, publishers, and corporate clients worldwide to support you in achieving your goals.
Be intentional about your word choices. Words - the building blocks of thought - have power, and they can either serve us or sabotage us (or others).
Here is my very short list of words to eliminate from our vocabularies, along with suggested words to use instead.
Eliminate: can't, cannot
Replace with: I can
Eliminate: try
Replace with: I will, I intend
Eliminate: should
Replace with: I could, I want, I choose
Eliminate: always, never
Replace with: sometimes, often, frequently, rarely, usually, occasionally
Which word(s) might be holding you back?
Here is my challenge: Pick one of the above words-to-eliminate and remove it from your vocabulary for the next week. Substitute one of the suggested empowering words instead.
Watch what happens.
