Think before you Write or Speak - Part 2

In the first article we suggested that it is important to: Think before you Write or Speak.

We acknowledged that all things are created twice--first in thought, and then manifested in the physical.

We have an enormously powerful ability to share our thoughts, dreams, and visions. Especially in the medium of writing. It really makes sense to share them from the most empowered point of view that we can.

So, I suggested we rid ourselves of some dis-empowering words--the infamous "(K)nots" that are so prevalent in our society. There are others, such as "try, but, should."

Now for more content to chew on in this "meal of word choice".

If the statement: "There is Power in the Clarity of your Articulation" TM is the first course (see my previous article: Think before you Write or Speak - Part 1)...

Then, the second course is: "There is Power in the Physiology of your Articulation".

Example, how many times have you seen someone say "yes" verbally, but their body language is blatantly saying no--with the shaking of their head back and forth. Are you confused by the mismatch? For me, I will pause and re-frame my question, or ask for clarification of their comment; doing so in a respectful manner.

Ladies and gentleman, your physical articulation is just as important as your verbal articulation. It is important to get both of them on the same wavelength so your empowering message comes through loud and clear.

As a writer, your audience is focused intently on your message. They are engaged with your words and are internalizing the concept. Make sure that when they are reading your work, their physiology is in tune with your message.

If you agree, say "YES" and please nod your head in an acknowledging manner, gently up and down. Nothing dramatic. Just be consistent in your expression of what you are thinking.

And remember: Empowering word choices impact your life; use them to attract the life you want.
