The words that you use mean something.  Words change your state of mind.  And all words, first start with a thought.

I mention this because the words you speak out have a direct impact on your health and energy.  A simple example is the word tired.  When you say “I am so tired,” your body immediately changes.  Your shoulders slouch over, your head drops forward, often times you yawn shortly after.

The next time you feel tired in the middle of the day – I suggest that you try not speaking that thought out loud.  Change your internal dialogue and watch what happens to your state of being.  Do not give in, tell yourself a little lie, something along the lines of “I am full of energy right now.”  This may sound silly – but please try it, and watch what happens!

The reason that I point this out is that I so often cringe when someone lies down on our adjusting table and declares “this pain in my back is killing me!!”  I believe that there is both the power of life, and death, in your words.  Please choose the words that you speak over yourself very carefully!
