Do you know that you are a powerful being? I’m Dr. Keesha Ewers and I help women reframe their stories so that they can reclaim their power and show up in the most vital and vibrant way that they can. Here is today’s tip:
Watch your language. Watch what you say to yourself. – Tweet this!
I don’t really mind how you speak and what words you use, but watch your language when you speak to yourself. Are you holding you back? The meanings and the beliefs we have in our adult life are created in childhood. Those meanings and beliefs may not be serving you at your current age any longer, if they are a result of an experience that was unpleasant for you or even traumatic. What I find is that our language (mindset) is the biggest thing that holds us back from showing up.
Women are the creative “spark plugs” of this universe.
In other words, men are the builders; women are the electricity. They’re the ones that the men literally plug in to. In Eastern philosophy, it’s called Shakti. That balance of masculine and feminine is within each one of us but for you, as a woman, you are responsible, even obligated. Show up in your life’s purpose in the most powerful way that you can. If you don’t, you’ll leave the world a darker place. Whatever your roles are on this planet, whether it’s mother, daughter, sister, wife or a professional; do your best – your most excellent. What is the one thing that trips you up from doing that? Your own language to you.
Remember, you are not a victim. You are powerful. – Tweet this!
PS: If you want to know more about how to show up, shine and be the spark plug, in the world, that you’re meant to be, go to the Dr. Keesha Facebook site (like it). Comment about what your challenges and struggles are. I want to know what keeps you from showing up as your brightest, biggest, most powerful being?
I work in health care service setting where every patient gets a survey. My boss seems to place a high value on the surveys. Some people can be so negative and mean and not constructive, but rather destructive, in their comments. I get very discouraged, feel defeated and downtrodden by them, even though those are few and I have many pleasant encounters. The happy ones unfortunately don’t usually fill out the surveys, and I know my self-worth should not be based on what others say or think about me, but still I am sensitive to it all. To the point that at times I wish I could just turn numb and apathetic. I try not to let others bring me down, but words are powerful and even the untruthful ones hurt. What is your advice?
Hi Shelley,
This is such a great question and an experience most of us have. I read something many years ago that has stuck with me ever since. When you bloom like a rose when someone compliments you then you will wither up when someone criticizes you. It’s all just words and those words have no power or meaning until we allow them to. You are right. It’s often the trolls who take the time and energy to tear someone down. Sometimes feedback is accurate. Just look at what is given as feedback in the surveys and see if any of it could possibly be true. If some of it is helpful for you to improve then they have done you a favor. If it’s all just trollish venting then leave it where it belongs…at the person’s feet. Each morning when you wake up ask for Archangel Michael to surround you with a purple protective bubble of light and energy. This shield allows love to penetrate going in and out. But anything else bounces off the outside of the shield and falls to the ground. This takes patience, persistence and practice. Good luck!
