“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly.They’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.” ― Aldous Huxley The words we use to ourselves can drastically alter how we feel about ourselves, our lives.
We keep ourselves company 24/7. Doesn't it make sense to be good company to ourselves? I have found that replacing just one word for another
has made a real difference in how I feel about my daily routines.
I replaced HAVE with GET Take: I HAVE to go to work tomorrow. Now, I say: I GET to go to work tomorrow I possess a job to go to when so many are jobless. I HAVE to go to the dentist tomorrow. I GET to go to the dentist tomorrow when so many cannot Afford dental care. "Oh, jeez, I can't go with you tomorrow. I HAVE to clean the bathroom." I GET to clean the bathroom when so many are homeless Try it. You will see the climb of the day to be easier. Are there other words that you could replace? Take NEED versus WANT Wants can be delayedand often should be. Needs have to be attended to right away.
