Change How You Say It, Change Your AttractivenessWritten by Catherine Franz
Language, whether it’s emerging from our mind, our heart, orour lips, says a lot about ourselves. It tells others whatstate we're in at time, actually where we are in ourlife, as well as how we dress our self, our body and oursoul. It also tells us what we will do now, what we did inthe past, and what we will do in future. Yet, we are socomfortable with our own voice and too busy to hear itsvoice that negative expressions escape constantly. Doeswhat you say and how you say it count? U-betcha.For those of you who are students of laws ofattraction, also known as manifesting what you desire withthe power of energy, this is another way you can use lawfor your benefit. Let me expound on this in simplest ofways. What you say is how you are. There are usually many ways tosay what you say. Many ways will not attract, others will.Let’s journey together on this with an example. Let’s usean expression we tend to use more mindfully and lessexpressively, "I could care less." "I could care less," taken literally means "I care more thanI might seem to." You are saying that you do care some andthat isn't what you intended to mean which was not caring atall. The true way to state your feelings would be, "Icouldn't care less." It may sound harsher, yet it’s thetruth. It is important to be true to your words. Being true in your language is a vital step to being in aplace of truth in yourself and in world. As a I child,my Dad drummed expression into me, and probably to you aswell, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't sayanything at all." Practicing laws isn't about sugarcoating your feelings or your language. It’s aboutexpressing them from your own truth. But what sayingtells us is that, even though we can acknowledge this as ourtruth we don't have to express that truth verbally. Because we are so comfortable with our language, we havestopped hearing what we are saying 90% of time. Theonly way to catch your language is to use this exercise.
| | Growing Up BackwardsWritten by D. Braun
It seems like I set out in this life to do things my own way and in my own time - no matter what was wise or prudent or tried, tested and true. And, regardless of advice I give my own daughters, I continue to 'grow up backwards.'To my daughters I say things like: "You have all time in world, enjoy now, figure out what you want and who you are before you begin to think about starting a family." "Take your time - get into a relationship because you WANT to, not because you feel you NEED to." "Listen to your gut, your 'inner bell'. Do what makes you feel full of life and secure in knowledge that you're where you need to be at this moment." "Don't look for a man to complete you - look for a man to complement you." "Learn how to make yourself happy - never expect another human being to take on that responsibility." And, I'm right, I know I am - doesn't every mom know that? Thing is, it took me two marriages (and subsequent divorces), six kids and living as a single mom for five years to learn those lessons. Most kids (at least when I was a teen) grew up, graduated high school, went to college, dated, had fun, and THEN settled down to have a family. They gave themselves a chance to spread their wings and find out who they were and what they wanted before they allowed their wings to be clipped by marriage and parenthood. Not me. I got married at 17, first child at 18. Now, at age 40, I have six children ranging in ages from almost 22 to 12 and am in my sixth year of 'independence.' I have finally learned lessons I'm trying to teach my own children. I know my words are true because I'm living both results of learning their wisdom and results of ignoring it. I did it backwards. So I know what it's like from both perspectives.
