How often do you hear words like these:

• “We’ll see.”
• “I’ll try.”
• “Hopefully …”
• “I don’t know how.”
• “I can’t figure out …”

Not the words of a master manifester, right? 

This is where I’d like to say I picked these phrases from client conversations in order to highlight what NOT to say as a powerful creator.

But the truth is these words came from my own mouth! 

In fact, I can hardly believe … I just did it again!  While typing this very post I popped over to read emails; saw that my new virtual assistant resent a note I hadn’t responded to yet.  So I replied back saying thanks for the resend, and that I’m HOPING to get my inbox under control later today.

What the @$&*%?!

I know so much better than to hope or try for anything, and yet there I was speaking it.  (Or typing it, anyway.) 

If I didn’t know better I might think I was insane to use weak speech that doesn’t reflect (or empower) my reality-creating abilities.  But, it’s not insanity – just habit. 

While my language is much stronger now than years ago, obviously there’s still room for improvement.

I share this because I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. 

Okay, now it’s getting ridiculous!  (Just saw a blog comment from Tia asking me to locate a lengthy comment she submitted but didn’t see post.  I couldn’t find it and tweeted her this: “nothing in my spam folder yet . but maybe it’ll take a second to show up? I hope!”  Argh!)

This is clearly time to regroup and realize resistance to wimpy words – in fact, resistance to ANYTHING – doesn’t eliminate it.  It just encourages more of it. 

With this awareness, I’ll give up my battle against wimpy words like hope and try and can’t, and remember how good I am at speaking powerfully.  Remember how well I use language that reflects and enhances my powerful abilities to create whatever I want.

Relief already!

I’m tempted to change the title of this post at the same time.

Regardless of what I do, I know it’ll be perfect.

That’s more like it!

• I KNOW.
• I INTEND.
• I WILL.
• I CAN.
• I AM.

Okay, I’m on a sweet little roll now!  Let’s keep this one going! 

I’d love to hear your most effective ways for spotting your own limiting language, and how you turn it around!  Game?
