Only Ask for What You Want

Welcome to A Better You Thriving, where we explore the connection between our thoughts, language, and overall well-being. Today, I want to dive into a topic that resonates deeply with many of us—how we talk to ourselves about our health and well-being, and the power of our words.

It’s easy to fall into the habit of claiming our health issues as if they are a part of our identity. How often do we hear people say things like, “My diabetes is acting up,” or “I’m so stressed,” or “My anxiety is overwhelming”? When we use language like this, we are essentially adopting these ailments as our own. We are inviting them into our lives, solidifying their presence with every word we speak.

But here’s the thing: whatever we say to ourselves becomes our truth—good or bad. Our minds are incredibly powerful, and the language we use shapes our reality. If we continuously affirm negative statements about our health, we may find ourselves stuck in a cycle of self-fulfilling prophecies, where our words dictate our experiences.

Instead of claiming ailments, let’s shift our focus and only ask for what we truly want. Imagine the difference it would make if we reframed our thoughts and language. Instead of saying, “My memory is getting worse,” we could say, “My memory is getting better every day.” Instead of accepting stress as a constant companion, we can declare, “I’m not allowing stress in my life.”

Consider this: when we face challenges—be it health-related or otherwise—acknowledging them is important, but we don’t have to own them. Instead of saying, “I have anxiety,” we might say, “I have challenges, but I’m overcoming them.” This subtle shift in language empowers us and positions us as active participants in our healing journey.

By asking for what we want, we create space for positive change. We open ourselves up to healing and growth, allowing our minds and bodies to respond accordingly. Affirmations can be a powerful tool in this process. Repeating positive statements can help rewire our brains, reinforcing a mindset that attracts health, wellness, and resilience.

Let’s be mindful of our self-talk and the language we use surrounding our health. We have the ability to shape our experiences by simply changing the way we speak to ourselves. So, let’s choose words that uplift and inspire, words that encourage healing and growth.

Remember, you are not your ailments. You are a dynamic being capable of transformation. Only ask for what you want, and watch as your life begins to reflect the positive changes you seek. Embrace the power of language, and let it guide you towards a better, thriving you!
