The Language of Confident Women
One of my clients is noticing how her use of language is decreasing her confidence. The language of confident women is noticeably different from women who lack confidence.
Mull over these examples…
“I don’t know” vs. “I know”
“I’m not enough” vs. “I’m perfectly imperfect”
“I don’t have any friends” vs. “I’m looking for healthy friends”
How are you? “Not too bad” vs. “I’m feeling super/fabulous/driven”
You have the power in your words to dictate how you want to feel. You can intensify an emotion (good or bad) by choosing a word that’s more emotionally charged. “I’m furious” is much more intense than “I feel peeved.” You can decrease the pain, sadness or discomfort you feel by committing to using language that empowers you.
What would happen if you chose to start cleansing your mind and mouth of all thoughts and words that were disempowering? Imagine how self aware you would become. Imagine how your confidence and self control would increase!!
Remember, you get to choose how you will feel. Your words directly affect how you feel and the actions you take or don’t take. Wouldn’t it be more empowering to choose to feel “peeved” instead of “furious?” It’s your choice.
I lead my clients through a mental cleanse that lasts 10 days. The results are impressive and life changing. I’ve done the cleanse and when I think about it, it’s probably time to do it again!
If you want to gain more confidence, more self control and be able to choose language that will empower you–reach out to me on my Facebook page. Leave a message for me on my page and I’ll show you how to do the cleanse. That’s the best place to reach me!
Much love,
