A few years ago my husband and I did a 30-day no-complaining challenge. I’m pretty sure we didn’t make it a full 30 days because you had to start over every time your words became completely unhelpful in any situation - aka complaining. But that's when I realized how much I complain and what happens when I am aware of my words and use them intentionally.
Words are everything. And I think we forget that.
I love how the right combination of words can completely shift your mind.
How words said to another can build them up and encourage them to keep going when they are about to quit or do something they wouldn’t have done otherwise.
How the words you say to yourself shape everything about how you show up to the world.
How the words you are thinking about someone else is shaping your perspective of them, whether it’s true, or not.
Don’t underestimate the power of your words to shift the atmosphere in your home.
A few ways to rearrange words to change how they impact you:
“I should have known better” ——> Now I know better
“I failed and embarrassed myself” ——> I’m proud that I tried and will try again.
“Things are never going to get better” ——> I am comfortable with the unknown and trust that everything will fall into place.
“I’m a failure” ——→ I’m learning
“I can’t do this” ——→ I can do hard things even when I’m anxious and overwhelmed
Supplements are a scam
On another unrelated note, supplements are a complete scam.
Not because they don’t work, but because of how much they cost.
They are marked up by 35% usually.
That's bananas.
I found that out when I became a health practitioner and started using the Fullscript platform to prescribe supplements to my clients.
I was shocked when I saw the supplements that I had been buying on my own FOR YEARS were now available to me at cost.
And that cost is a lot lower than what they charge you. Practitioners get to choose how much of a discount they want to give.
TODAY IS FULLSCRIPTS ANNUAL 2-DAY SALE AND MINE IS SET FOR 25% OFF EVERYTHING - THE HIGHEST I COULD.
That means any supplement or personal care product you already buy each month, or any professional-grade supplements you need from hundreds of different brands are 25% off. Go see if they have what you need/already use!

Words we speak to others and ourselves do carry so much more power than we realize. Thank you for this great reminder. Have printed it out to keep handy!!
