what you say is what you get

I've been experimenting with being more conscious about what I say and how I say it.

Though it takes time to change verbal habits (both in thought processes and conversation) it's worth the effort.

Your Future Is In Your Mind and Mouth

For example, some people say "I can't lose weight. Nothing I do works, there is no use trying to lose weight, it just doesn't work for me. Every time I don't eat I get a headache and every time I exercise I get sore, this is just not going to work for me."
Now you can substitute any topic you want in there -- having money, finding a mate, getting a better job, whatever.

If this is what you think about most of the time and what you are constantly saying everything in the universe is working to fulfill your words. A day after day you find more and more evidence to prove you right, so you say to yourself, "See, I told you, I can't do this."

Now, some will say that they don't want it to be that way and that may be true mentally or intellectually but if your heart and mind are still dwelling on that belief you have no other option than to receive it.
