Watch What We Think And Say

A picture, they say is worth a thousand words, and sometimes a picture with a few well chosen words can be worth far more. When I saw the attached calendar page on a recent Louise Hay You Can Do It calendar I knew I needed to write a piece using that picture and those words as a launching pad.

“I watch what I think and what I eat, and my life improves.”

Thinking and eating are a lot like breathing – what goes in determines what comes out of us. We need to guard our thoughts and pay attention to what we eat if we want to see our situation improve rather than deteriorate. I would further add that I believe it is also tremendously important the words we say. And I am not talking about avoiding “adult” or “bad words.” Both terms to me are silly and childish notions. I heard a rather lengthy piece on the BBC News regarding The Quebec parliament passing legislation allowing the French word for (They used “fudge” because the English word is still not allowed on the public airways in Quebec, the rest of Canada, the US, or most places.) to be used on the radio in Quebec. They must have said “fudge” a hundred times. You could tell the reporter was having fun with the piece. Even the host of the show got the last word about “fudging” the use of the word. Far worse than “fudge”, and I love fudge, the candy and the word, are the awful things we say to ourselves and others i.e. “You are dumb, unattractive, even ugly, stupid, can’t, and will never amount to anything” – lies everyone, but how quickly we and they are to believe these words rather than the true ones, “That we are smart, beautiful, desirable, can do anything we set our mind and heart to, and do not need to amount to anything because we have always been magnificent.”

Watch what you think and what you say and watch the world change around you reflect your highest best thoughts and most beautiful and encouraging words. Thoughts become things. It is the law and cannot be amended or repealed.
