Steps to being OM SO HAPPY - STEP 3: Speak with kindness

SPEAK WITH KINDNESS – to yourself…

The words you speak become the house you live in - HAFIZ

Some of the harshest words we ever speak are to ourselves. “I’m not good enough”, “I screwed up”, “I’m too… or, I’m too little ...” It’s so important to remember that the words we speak impact our health and well-being. We manifest into our state of being that which we reinforce with our thoughts. Take time to consciously speak affirming and uplifting thoughts to yourself. Speak personal statements of truth. Begin with “I AM” and follow through with a personal statement that will remind you off all the wonderful things you are and contribute to the world. For maximum positive impact, choose your affirmations carefully, ensure they are based in truth, and direct them toward those areas of your life that you currently feel a lack. Affirmations used daily can release stress, build confidence, and improve our outlook on life.

SPEAK WITH KINDNESS – to others…

The next time you like complaining, shouting, lashing out or simply speaking ill of someone else, remember that the energy you share is the energy you hold. If our state of mind is tuned in to offering negativity to the world, that is likely what we will see showing up in our own life. Instead, lead with empathy and grace. We can never fully understand someone else’s backstory or know what their struggles are, so, even when feeling confronted by the behaviour of others, take a beat, take a breath and offer kindness and patience. We can’t control how others behave, but we can control how we react. Lead with love.
