LIV2DAY - Power in Words

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Beam & Branch Realty TREC #547752

       

As children, most of us heard the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." On the contrary, words can cause hurt; in fact, God's word tells us that with the tongue we "speak life or death." (Proverbs 18:21) But did you know that speaking negative, harmful, hateful words can even have a destructive effect on the body? Not just your body, but of those around you?

Tune in to this 20-minute episode with Dr. Paula for a refreshing reminder to be aware of all that we take in and that that we put out into the environment around us. God created everything, including the spoken word, and the energy and vibration each word can carry. Stay tuned for a special "Ask Dr. Paula" at the end, for 3 ways to diffuse the power of someone else's verbal attack against you!

For more information, head over to Dr. Paula McDonald for more episodes, resources, books, and more.

Hi Paul - words are much more hurtful than physical abuse and it lasts much longer.

Grant Schneider, you are so correct. Being mindful of what is escaping from your mouth is critical.

Hi Paula, I learned many years ago to not take things personally and to shift my focus off of someone elses negativity.  I simply don't have negative types in my life - and that is on purpose. Choosing wisely is a good thing!

Hurtful words have a way of programming the recipient.  It can be very harmful, especially to children.

Morning Paula.

While right now I don't have time to listen to the audio this morning, what I can tell you is that if one speaks ill of another, it will come back to bite them sooner or later.

Myrl Jeffcoat, you are so correct. Children do suffer due to shaming words so much.

Paula,  Words are powerful.  We do not even have to speak ... our thoughts alone can be negative, harmful, or helpful.
