The Quality of Your Life is Dependent on the Quality of Your Thoughts

Language of Disempowerment

Words are symbols. Each word carries with it images, sounds and feelings. Because of this, our subconscious takes our language literally. As we speak, we are programming our subconscious. We are usually unaware of how the words we choose penetrate our health, outcomes and behaviors. The words that empower us most are those that propel us towards our outcomes, where we are held responsible for our choices, in the direction of those things we desire.

Words of disempowerment will keep us stagnant and stuck in a non-productive frame of mind. Use the words in the right hand column. These are your language upgrade.

Decide                                     My choice is

I could                                    I can

I wish                                     My highest choice

At least                                   At most

Doesn't it?                              Does it

Cant you?                                My choice is

If / then                                    When / my choice is

Almost                                     It is, or isn't

Probably                                 I will

Try                                          I will

It's hard                                  It's a challenge

I don't know                           I choose to know / I'll find out

I've got to                              I choose to

I must                                     I will, I choose

I hope                                     My choice is

I need                                     I desire

I should                                   I will

Perhaps                                  I will

Kind of                                  It is, or isn't

You make me                        I create for myself

I'm not                                  I am

Like                                       Is

Do you know?                       I know

I think so                               I know

I am able to                           I am

I want                                   My choice is, I require

I will                                     I am
