Change Your Life by Swapping Out These 5 Words…

Do you ever get stuck, feel unmotivated, or as though life is just not working in your favor?

Here in this article, we will discuss five ordinary words or expressions that may be stalling you—and what to replace them with in order to feel more confident, inspired, and in charge. Letget started.

1. “I can’t”

Saying “I can’t” shuts the door on progress. It tells your brain to stop trying.

Instead, try:
“I’m learning how to…”
“I’m working on it.”
“I haven’t figured it out yet.”

These keep the door open and assist you in keeping moving forward.

2. Failure

Failure sounds like the end. But in reality, itmerely part of learning.

Try this instead:

Im learning.”
That didnt work—what can I try next?”

Mistakes don
indicate that youre failing. They indicate that youre growing.

3. Im overwhelmed

Youre not overwhelmed—youre just in high demand!

Try saying:

Im being stretched.”
Ive got a lot on my plate right now, and Im handling it.”

Give yourself credit. You
re stronger than you think.

4. But…”

Each time you say but,” you nullify what went before.

I want to begin my business, but Im too busy.”
Ilike to try, but Iafraid.”

Rathersubstitute it with:

and.”
Or simply eliminate the excuse altogether: I want to begin my business—and Ill figure out how.”

Own your goals. Dont talk yourself out of them.

5. I hate…”

Hate is a very strong, negative word. It fogs your mind and lowers your energy.
Rather than saying:

I hate traffic.”

I hate liars.”

Say:

like open roads.”

I value honesty.”

Staying in the positive keeps your mind clear and your energy peaceful.
