I know a lot of people can feel really overwhelmed by all the negative thoughts that swim around in our minds.

They can play on auto-pilot like a broken record and lead us to feeling low energy, uninspired and just bleh.

The scary thing is, many people don’t even realize that for every negative thought they catch there’s many more spinning around behind the scenes.

Today we’re going to take the first step in noticing where those negative thoughts are lurking so that you can start to release and replace them with something more empowering.

Now, I’m not saying you have to micromanage every thought or word that comes out of your mouth, this is about reclaiming the power that you were born with and that we often completely forget about.

Notice how often you’re canceling out your power by using words and phrases like: “I can’t, I’m blocked, I don’t know how, I feel stuck, it’s too hard, I should, I need, I want, etc.”.

You can tell when you’re using negative words and phrases, like these, because you’ll feel powerless and often constricted in your chest.

This isn’t about beating yourself up, this is about noticing where you may be blocking yourself and choosing to release these limiting and negative patterns.

The first step in change is becoming aware of what previously wasn’t obvious to you.

As you become more aware of your language you’ll realize it’s kept you away from your desires for so long and you’ll see it in friends, family and even the media and understand why the majority of society is stuck in jobs they don’t like and not earning enough money — because they’re continuously affirming what they don’t want and it’s what they expect life to give them. So it does.

Action Step:

Where in your life do you notice yourself using unconscious language — phrases like “I can’t, I don’t know, I’m blocked, I should, I’m afraid, etc.”?

Are there key words or phrases that you see yourself using in repetition?

Are there specific topics that you seem to have more negative thoughts or beliefs around (money, time, health, relationships, etc.)?

There’s nothing else you need to do today except notice where you’ve been using unconscious language.

Simply noticing is incredibly powerful and often leads to shifts in our actions and what we’re available for. These small steps can lead to big results.
