Fantastic, Amazing, Fabulous, Brilliant, and Wonderful! Read those words again! Whenever a stranger asks me how I am, I always respond with Fabulous. See my father told me a long time ago, “Shirene, nobody really cares how you are, just inspire them for a moment and say you are Fabulous or Wonderful!” That is what I do now.
Although, when I am not Fabulous or Wonderful and someone I know asks me, I may simply say, I don’t think I like that question right now. See I do not like to give negative energy power. We all know that if you say “Im tired” what happens, you tell yourself that over and over and guess what………you are tired. Don’t get me wrong, we can be actually tired from time to time, but PLEASE not all the time.
I think it is important to not own negative energy or ailments. I have experienced my share of aches and pains and physical ailments, but mark my words, this girl will be traveling until the day I die! Nothing will hold me back. And I certainly will not allow negative energy to hold me back!
Lets drill down on the previous 5 words:
Fantastic: Extraordinarily good or attractive
Amazing: Startlingly impressive
Fabulous: Extraordinary
Brilliant: Clever and talented.
Wonderful: Inspiring delight.
These are all what I call claiming words. When you claim you are Fantastic, think of all the positive energy you are attaching to that? You are basically saying I am happy and positive! Now, lets turn it around. Do you want to claim the words EXHAUSTED, TIRED, AWFUL, CANT WONT AND TRY? For me that is a hard NO! There is nothing life giving about any of those words. In fact, the words are life taking.
Think about this, we have a limited amount of time on this earth, do you want to spend it claiming negative energy? I truly believe, when you surround yourself with the best, you become the best! As individuals, we must protect our energy. Do you understand what I mean when I say that? Everything is temporary and if we become attached to the negative, then that is what we will carry in our thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
Everything is a choice, including who we hang out with, how kind you are to others, thoughts and beliefs just to name a few. Claim and own your life, and whatever it is you want. If you want and expect a fabulous life, then that is what you shall have. If you want and expect a struggled tired life of I can’ts, then that is what you will have! This is all plain and simple physics. We are all made of energy! So, lets commit to using more words like FANTASTIC, AMAZING, FABULOUS, BRILLIANT, AND WONDERFUL, and lets see how things start to feel! Please share your experiences with us at #MyCatch2Day!~Shirene
