Although we may not think much of the way we speak, it would be good to take a moment and consider the words we use daily. Generally speaking, we may be positive, negative or a little of both at times. When we can be honest about our words, we then can be honest about why we may be speaking the way we are. Let’s take a moment to talk more about, “Words Matter.”
When you are living in a life of constant negative talk; you are causing yourself to be closed up to change. You begin to agree with the very words that have been spoken over you whether they were true or not. You develop a skewed view of yourself and others around you. You can then whether unintentionally or intentionally begin to really hurt others with your negativity.
For the most part, when we are negative, we are attracting negativity to ourselves whether we like it or not. Addressing why we are negative would be the best way to deal with this. Of course, this could open a wound that you may prefer not to discuss but for you to gain healing and a different life perspective you must do so. Allowing yourself to heal will enable you to begin to change the way you speak. Your entire perspective will be impacted in a new and positive way.
Words of edification bring encouragement, change, lightheartedness and an environment for growth. It’s these very words that are necessary to break what negativity has done in one’s life. You do not have to become the very words that someone has spoken over you unless you choose to do so. Surround yourself with people who will be uplifting and challenging in a good sense to encourage you toward growth and new levels in your life. Words matter and we must recognize the impact they are having on us.
Take a moment to share your experience with negativity. Are you someone who recognizes negative speech and how much words matter? Do you bring encouragement to others easily? Sharing your story will encourage others too. Thank you for taking moments with me.

Yes!! I’ll never understand why we speak to ourselves in ways we’d never speak to others! I’ve always been told of you wouldn’t sign your name to it, do t say it!! We never know what someone is going through, we should all be gentle & give others the benefit of the doubt.
Very true Carla. We really can do better with our words to ourselves and to others. Thank you so much for taking moments with me to read and share your thoughts.
Totally agree – we need to learn to speak kinder to ourselves 🫶🏻
Thank you for taking moments to read and share your comments. We each can and should be better with our words to ourselves and to others.
Such a lovely article. Words have such a powerful way of changing our mindset, behaviors, and thought process. I believe that when you say good things, you bring good into life, and the same goes with saying something negative. Speaking positively and treating ourselves with kindness is truly the key to proper communication with others.
Thank you so much Riyah for your comments. Definitely when we speak to ourselves positively and treat ourselves with kindness it truly impacts us.
It is so true. I can be my worst enemy and I’m trying to be better about it.
We can sincerely do better with our words. Trying to do better is a great start. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.
You’re so right! The way we speak to ourselves really impacts all that is around us. Creating that positive mindset can take some work at first but it’s so worth it! Then the more positive words will follow
Remaining intentional and mindful of our words is a great way to remain in a positive mindset. Acknowledging the things that have a negative impact and things we may speak about in this manner helps us too. Thank you so much for reading and taking a moment to share your thoughts.
We underestimate the power of words. Words are a transmitter of our values, beliefs, feelings etc. The more we abandon harming words, the more positivity we can bring into our life. Thank you for sharing this important message!
Yes, the moment we decide to do better acknowledging how we have been in our words, we allow ourselves the ability to pay attention to how our words have impacted so many things including ourselves. Words impact each of us in so many ways. I appreciate you taking moments with me and sharing your comments.
Really great and meaningful post. It’s so helpful to surround ourselves with positive people. I’m working on boundaries of negative people this year.
As we begin to pay attention to our words and the things that have impact on our lives, we choose to make the necessary changes to do better. I agree having the right people and being in the right place with true support brings a great impact for our good. Thank you for reading and sharing your comments.
I love this! We should always remember to watch how we talk to ourselves! Positivity is key
It is amazing how much our words are affecting us and those around us and yet so many become immune to it and do not see the need to change anything. It makes a great impact in our lives when we pay attention to how we speak to ourselves and to others. It also matter how we allow others to speak to us. Thank you for taking moments with me to read and share your thoughts.
Short, sweet, and a powerful punch. I agree that the more we think or talk negative over our lives, the more negative we attract.
I am kind. I am gentle. I am worthy.
Simple phrases. But game changers.
Thank you for taking moments with me and sharing your comments. As we pay attention to our words, we begin to become more mindful of them. Then we can decide what we need to adjust in our speech. This will bring great change to our lives and those around us.
Pastor Natalie, thank you for this encouragement, may we all be careful to use our words to build others up and not tear anyone down. May God bless you for being so sensitive to help us to become more mindful and careful in our everyday lives,🙏

We are all our worst enemy at times! I love the saying “If you wouldn’t say it to your friend, don’t say it to yourself!”
Love this perspective you shared; “if you wouldn’t say it to your friend… then don’t say it to yourself.” Thank you for taking moments with me to read and share your thoughts. We can all do better with our words.
