Affirmations by Leah Oviedo

Page 2: Word Art and Affirmation

Words have the power to brighten or darken our moods and the moods of those around us.In the case of people we interact with regularly, our words and actions impact their wholelives. Ask anyone who was teased in school or has been the topic of nasty gossip. Look atwomen, men and children who are victims of domestic violence. Even society pressures usand tells us we are not perfect and that we need to change who we are to be happy. We are barraged with words that affect us negatively on a daily basis. It should be nosurprise that negative words affect our self esteem and change how we see ourselves. Whileit is not always possible to ignore negative comments, we have the choice to not give anypower to the words that are meant to hurt us. Start your day off with a positive affirmation and put positive, encouraging, complimentarywords in your mind. When you say your positive affirmation enough and take actions tomake your life better, your life and confidence will improve. The change will not beimmediate. You have to say the words enough so they become true to you. We have a choice of what words to use. Become aware of the words you use when talkingto people and talking to yourself. Are you being positive or negative? Are you agreeing withothers when they put themselves or another person down? If you need to change how youtalk, start slow with a few positive comments each day. Think about when we meet peoplethat we want to impress. We are on our best behavior and say positive words to that person.We can act this way around our partners, family and friends as well.

We simply must be aware and be open to change.
