Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will carefully monitor my words to others and bite back hurtful words."

 

There are those days when people just piss us off and we want to strike back with our words and hurt them.  Sometimes we let ourselves go; we lose control over ourselves and our mouths and the words just come spewing out and drench anyone in their path.  (Been there, done that.)

 

But we need to remind ourselves that this brings no ultimate satisfaction or positive results.  Instead, when this does happen to us, after it is over, we feel horrible, ashamed, guilty. 

 

What is the best way to handle the situation?  Breathe and let it go.  Harder than we think to do sometimes.  For myself, I need to ask my Higher Power to take it away and make something good out it.  The negative can always be turned into something positive as long as we have a willingness to create it and let it happen.

 

Also, do a self check.  If this has happened, what needs within yourself are not being met?  What is at the root of the frustration?  Just recognizing the root can help us to come to terms with it.

 

So for today, monitor your words.  Think carefully before you speak-gauge your words for clarity, accuracy, self advocacy, and diplomacy.

 

In Love and Light,
