Episode 115: The Anti-Abundant Words We Tell Ourselves

In this episode, I was inspired by a training I did for the women inside my "Ignite Your Second Half Soul" free training. You'll hear some of the results from an exercise I had asked them to do prior to the training and I think you'll find what I share interesting and likely very relatable. The exercise involved 2 steps as follows:

Step 1 was to describe themselves in 3 words, without any reflection. Just share whatever are the first 3 words that come to mind.

Step 2 was to ask a close friend to describe them in 3 words. Again, without thinking, what are the first 3 words that came to their friend's mind when asked.

Here's what they learned and what you'll learn by listening to this episode:

• Words have power and some of the words we use to describe ourselves are very disempowering
• Disempowering words do not put you in a state of abundance. In fact, they will do the opposite.
• We are our own worst critics and often don't easily "see" the abundance in ourselves.
• We tend to focus on physical attributes but that's not what others see.
• Words reveal the underlying thoughts that may be limiting or blocking us so reflection on your words is key.

Try this exercise and see what comes up for you. And remember, no cheating! You must write down the FIRST THREE WORDS that come to mind.
