The Life-Changing Power of Words

I'll never forget the beautiful woman who gave me my first Craniosacral session. It was Jill Mabry who first helped me understand the negativity trap I was in. Every response that came out of my mouth during our hour together had a ho-hum undertone. It seemed as if every word I said had a diabolical plan to keep my from finding health and happiness. Those precious sessions gave me insight on how changing the tone of my dialog could affect my body and even my life.

The next few weeks I would catch myself. It seemed like I was addicted to negativity. Even when something great happened, I would sabotage it with pessimism. It took work, but soon I was speaking positively and seeing the repercussions of that in my mood, appearance, and actions.

Today, almost 14 years later, my skills in speaking positively have helped me achieve more than I ever imagined for myself. I am a successful Craniosacral Therapist, entrepreneur, and business marketer. That's a long way from the shy and depressed person I used to be! By being positive and speaking positively (and yes, lots of help from God!) I broke out of the old cycles that kept me sick, hurting, and scared to immerge from my "safe place".

Here are some words to focus on to help you on your way:
I can...                            I have...                              I am...
passion             devotion
faith                  beauty
confidence         wisdom    
discipline           trust
generosity         conviction
safety                hope
compassion        love
courage             acceptance
care                   humility
honesty              genuine
inspiration           joy
sincerity              balance
kindness             peace
belief                  strength
perseverance       gentleness

In Health!
