Watch your words, they become your actions

According to the book The Four Agreements, we are a magicians. 

As I pay attention to the way I speak about myself and others
I believe this to be true.

I hear us casting spells for good or evil on ourselves and others all the time. 

And once cast, I see us acting out the spells.

Each time we speak of ourselves or others with love, respect and compassion, we are casting blessing spells. 

But when we speak with malice, disrespect and callousness, we are casting cursing spells. 

And because we aren't mindful of the way we speak to ourselves, it becomes that much easier to speak thoughtlessly of others.

Just as a stage magician might say 'Abracadabra' or 'Hocus Pocus' to effect the magical transformation, we use a few magic words as well; 'I am' or the shortened 'I'm'. 

How many times do you say:
I'm so (crazy, silly, stupid, lazy, scatterbrained, etc.)?

These are curses that keep us trapped and down in the dumps.
We act on these spells by continuing to be crazy, silly, stupid, lazy, etc.

How many times do you say:
I'm so (loving, knowledgeable, motivated, focused, etc.)?

These are blessings that lift us up.
We act on these spells by continuing to be loving, knowledgeable, focused, etc.

Each time we carelessly use our 'I am' spell, we are like the sorceress' apprentice using tools too powerful for us to control. 

But when we consciously choose our words, we increase our inner power and come closer to being our highest self.  We become the sorceress!

I think it's important to notice the way we are speaking about ourselves because
it contributes to the drain of self love energy.

So today, I invite you to gain control over the power of your 'I am' spell.

When you catch yourself using cursing spells on yourself, pause and cast blessing spell instead.
