I remember being in the grocery store one day all but having a panic attack because I just got some money and was about to spend it.

In my head, my inner critic (that I call the “catfish”) was giving me such a tongue lashing about wasting money. And then I paused to pray. And I heard my higher self within say, “Who’s voice is that? Who does that sound like?” And I realized it was the voice of my parent. Then my higher self asked me, “How do you feel about spending this money?” And my response was, “I feel grateful. I wanted some money to be able to get the things I want. And now I’m here and am able to buy this item. I honestly feel grateful.” And with that, things shifted for me. I realized in that moment that the voice that criticizes us and questions our decisions, our right to do what we want to do, often comes from outside of us.
On today’s episode of Share & Let’s Live! with Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist, I talk about being aware of words. If you are a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent of a child, tween, or teen…. If you are the bestie, the partner, the spouse, the friend… If you are a teacher, administrator, supervisor, doctor…. pay attention to the words you speak.
The words you say to another person may become the voice on loop in their minds. Choose your words wisely. Before you speak, ask yourself, “Are these the words I’d want them to hear over and over and over again?”
Let’s be more intentional and cautious with our words….
I won’t so more. I say it all on today’s podcast. Check it out.
Blessings!
