The Power of the Tongue

 The Powerful of the Tongue

Welcome or welcome back to Amaya's Adventures! In this post, we will be discussing why it is important to watch the way you speak over yourself and your life. 

    A lot of us grew up with parents and grandparents who always paid attention to the things that we say. Especially for us with Southern, Black grandmothers, you never say that someone is "lying." You can say they are not telling the truth, or that they are telling a fib. But, you never say that they are lying. As children, we never understand why because they are "just words." But, as we age we realize that they are not just words, they are magic. Words have the ability to change your entire mood, day, and life. Words are spells truly. When you say things like, "I am broke" or "I am depressed", you are casting that spell over your life. So, you will continue to stay broke and/or depressed. I am not telling you to be in denial, but I am telling you to be mindful of what you say. You may want to say, "Well I am broke and depressed." But, you can choose better words such as "I am waiting on a financial blessing", or "I am not feeling my best right now, but I will have a better day tomorrow." It is not only a more optimistic way to speak about your life, which can lead to your mind looking for the good things in life (thus resulting in a better mood). Trust me, there's always at least one thing to be grateful for every day. The tongue is a very powerful tool and your life can improve daily by even by 1% by watching your mouth. So, choose better words today and in the days to come.
