Watch Your Language
November 11, 2009
Tonight at dinner I said something that I was shocked at. I was talking with my boyfriend and told him to be careful or he would fall into a habit and potentially do the thing we were talking about when he was having dinner with someone important. He looked at me and said “You are important.” I am very into personal development and could not believe I had said that. I was shocked and it made me a little teary that I said that.
Pay attention to the language you use. Sometimes you’ll say things about yourself that you would never let a friend say. I had implicitly framed myself as unimportant. That was a big self image slip yet we all do this all the time. When is the last time you thought of yourself as important. Truly you are the most important person on the planet because you are what keeps you alive and here to share your gifts. Without you… there is nothing.
