Are you speaking the wrong language? Are you using sweeping statements that are stopping good things from flowing into your life? Think about it, is the way you are thinking and speaking to yourself and others stopping you from achieving goals or preventing happiness in your everyday life?
Let’s start with the word HATE! Anytime you speak, think or hear this word you automatically get a negative response. When you say, I hate that, or I hate him/her you leave no room for positivity. You fill the box with nothing but hate, and this stops you from allowing joy to flow in your life.
What about when you say “I CAN”T“? When you say ‘I can’t’ you again block out any positivity, you leave no room in your thoughts or your mind for the possibility that “you can”. The minute you tell yourself that something is unachievable you don’t even begin to try. What if you actually said “that may be possible if I try”? Wouldn’t that send your brain the message that it is possible, that maybe you can in fact do something you thought you couldn’t?
You need to be aware of these sweeping negative words and sayings. They are the words that are going to hold you back from finding happiness or achieving goals. What if I said “I can’t write”? Then I would never have tried and I would have missed out on a huge part of what brings me daily peace and happiness and deep personal fulfilment.
There are other statements too like saying “I’m right” which blocks you from seeing anything from another point of view, which sadly means you can miss out on seeing the world through the magic of someone else’s eyes. Sometimes stopping and listening can bring such new wonder into our world. Don’t assume you are always right and someone else is wrong. Leave your mind open to new possibilities and points of view.
There are so many words in our vocabulary that block us from growing and experiencing the variety and richness of life. Next time you go to say “I hate something” or “I can’t do that”, stop and think whether you are speaking the right language to bring peace and fulfilment into your life.
Thanks for joining me, love Mackenzie xx

Great post – most of the time I just feel I am speaking a different language ! #TwinklyTuesday
hehe love that response xx
Very True!
Great post. I think most people would benefit from just saying less in general!
Found your post at just the right moment! I am my own worst critic, the queen of the sweeping statement that excludes alternative possibilities and have just had an especially negative last hour. I’ll be subscribing!
I am so glad you found this helpful, and thank you for supporting my blog x
Oh I felt my self nodding my head to everything you said in this post – negativity is such a barrier for success and people would benefit from opening up their minds a little more and just with a little positivity they would see a totally different world – it’s the age old glass half empty or half full though isn’t it – I am definitely a half full kind of girl but hopefully you’re article will help turn the half empties out there! Great post #BloggersClubUK
thank you for your great comment, I hope so too xx
Sometimes I have to remind myself to stop being so negative and yet I agree with everything you said. I must try harder to change my mindset sometimes – I am sure it can have massive implications! Thanks for the reminder! 🙂 #BloggerClubUK
Thanks for this reminder – I do my best not to use negative language and to look at things more positively. When I do it, I definitely notice the huge impact it has on my whole life. #BloggerClubUK
Very true. I like this post. It’s so easy to write ourselves off, tell ourselves negative things and believe them.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty fluent in negativity.
I am all for this, quite often a simple rephrasing will give you the outcome you ideal want – maybe not immediately. I am trying to cox my little one away from using the words I can’t at the moment! Thank you for joining us at #BloggerClubUK hope to see you again next week x
Saying you Can do something is the best way to talk yourself into doing something that you are afraid of doing. It helps you to conquer your fears and helps to get rid of self-doubt. I know I sometimes have to tell myself a few times that I can do it. I use these words with my boys too whenever they start to doubt themselves. Thanks so much for linking up with me at #manicmonday
