Listen To Your Words

Affirmations:

I honor others by speaking with respect and kindness.

I listen and receive messages I share.

Everything I teach is a loving reminder for me.

I speak with integrity, encouragement and Love.


Listen To What You Are Saying!


Everything you say is your teaching.

Everything you say is what you need to hear.

Everything you say is your message to your world.

Everything you say is what you want others to know about you.


Words create long lasting impressions.

Words hold the truth about what you think of you.

Words demonstrate what you profess to be your truth.

Words cannot be taken back once they are said.


Be careful with your language.

Stop vulgarity, name-calling, shaming and belittling.

Stop using your words to attack or make others wrong.

Stop treating others as you don’t want to be treated.


The words you use can heal or hurt.

The language you use can inspire or offend.

The truths you tell can bless or curse.

The speech you use can create or destroy.


Every person we encounter is an opportunity to teach.

Every relationship is a chance to make amends.

Every work we do is a way we can make life better.

Every moment we can use our words to create what we really want.


The habits of our mind create the habits of our mouth.

When we use our mouth for vulgarity, we make ourselves sick.

When we use our mouth for kindness, we make ourselves well.

When we use our words to inspire, encourage and appreciate, we make everyone better.


Think before you speak.

Take pause before you criticize.

Hold your tongue before you hurt someone.

Better to say nothing than to be wrong.


Remember the adage:

If you cannot say something kind, say nothing at all.

Better to be silent than to speak from emotion.

Better to listen than to speak falsely.


Speaking from emotion distorts your perception.

Drama escalates and exaggerates.

Negative creates more negative.

Nothing is accomplished through using fighting words.


The messenger must listen to his/her own message.

Integrity is truly learning from what you say to others.

Take time to ask your own intention before speaking.

Choose wisely words that heal, that will be received.


I am here to learn what I teach.

I am here to teach what I am learning.

We all are students/teachers of Love.

Loving you,
