I have not stopped thinking about Meredith's post about our mantras. By the response it got I know I'm  not the only one who enjoyed it.

Words are powerful things. The words we use in our life to describe ourselves help create us. They not only can define who we are, they can also accentuate who we want to become. I read a recent post over at The Gypsy Girl's Guide that reminded me of something I once heard from Karen Maezen Miller, that the things we give our attention to are the things that grow, flourish and thrive. I certainly know this to be true with self-talk.

Today, I encourage you to be mindful of the language you use with yourself. Use your own inner dialogue to nurture, empower, encourage yourself. Whisper sweet nothings into your own ear. As my dear friend Myriam shared recently, "You are the one you've been waiting for." Indeed. We are.

So, go ahead, tell yourself the story of your own magnificence. The more you say it, the more it will be.

What are your favorite words of empowerment? I need a good dose of super-power today!
