Words of Encouragement

We need to use lots of words of encouragement, not only for other people but for ourselves as well. With all of our negative self-talk and being surrounded by mostly negative people, someone needs to get the ball rolling in reversing the negative flow, if not stemming it altogether.

These words of encouragement may encompass several lists of word that we’ve used on ourselves, they could even be our affirmations, sometimes we see them in our journals as well - words and phrases that we wished our parents had said to us when we were younger.

These could be words that you are putting together for your niece, nephew, son or daughter. These are words that you need to say to other people a lot. The amazing thing about a lot of other people is that they’re just like you, they need to feel accepted, they need to feel appreciated and they need to feel recognised for who they are. Maybe you could help them become more manageable by making them feel good about themselves.

I’ve changed the words of Confucius just a little bit but the implications are profound if you put this into your daily practice, "Say unto others what you would have others say unto you."
