Door Stopper Words
As you go throughout your day, pay attention to the way that you talk to yourself, listen to the words that you use and notice how they make you feel when you hear them, echo back to you.
Are there any that cause you to slam on the brakes?
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about what one of my teachers, Melissa Tiers, likes to call “door stopper” words.
Where in your life, whether personal or business, or in your mind or when talking about your dreams/goals are you using the kind of words that have some sort of neural association for you - that just don't allow you to move forward, or take action toward your true potential?
Sometimes, it's just a matter of a small adjustment to your words and story that can make all the difference.
For instance when I say to my clients, “I'm not assigning you homework, I'm assigning you ‘heart work’.”
That subtle shift in perspective can move it from something we don’t want to do, to something that lights us on fire!
So often, just by slightly adjusting the lens and language, and looking at something from a different viewpoint, we’re able to move ourselves from fear to Love and no longer be held back from what it is we’re here to do!
