SIX EMPOWERING VERBS THAT WILL JUMPSTART YOUR DAY

Have you wondered how would it feel to wake up in the morning knowing that you have the power to create a beautiful day? I have good news for you. You can create the day you want. The outer world is a reflection of your inner world, which is made of your beliefs, life values, thoughts, and the stories you tell yourself. All these are made of words. Change the words and you will change your inner world. Change your inner world and you will change your day. Pay extra attention to the verbs that you use. They are extremely powerful, both in real life and fiction. Verbs advance the action, set up the mood and the pace.
Use the following six empowering verbs in the morning to jumpstart your day. You can use the suggested mantras or play with the verbs by creating your own, positive combinations. Listen to your intuition and add something different each time. In both cases, feeling joy, gratitude, and excitement will boost the effect of your words.

1. BE

You treat “to be” like an old robe. You are so accustomed to it that you use it without paying attention. The form “to be” derives from an Indo-European root shared by the Latin, fio – ‘I become’, and the Greek phuein – “to bring forth, cause to grow’. The old, plain “I am” is full of deep meaning and power. When you say, “I am” you actually say:
 I am alive. I exist. I can enjoy life. I breathe. I have a spiritual experience in a human body.
 Use “I am” in association with words such as light, love, joy, beautiful, intelligent, grateful.
Morning mantra: I AM.

2. LOVE

Love is your natural state of being. It is the inner sun that concentrates the soul’s highest aspirations and essential divinity. Love is forgiveness, tolerance, compassion, understanding, charity, integrity, honesty, courage to trust, hope, and patience. The more we use the verb to love, the more love we bring into our lives and the world. Imagine how your ideal day would unfold and tell yourself what is it that you love about it. Feel free to include the morning black coffee.
Morning mantra: TODAY I LOVE MYSELF

3. CREATE

In the late Middle English, ‘to create’ meant ‘to form out of nothing’ and was used about a divine or supernatural being. With every thought, word, action, and emotion, we create our life. We do it even when or if we are not aware of it. Take back create as an instrument of attracting the experiences you want. Think about the attributes of your ideal day. How would it be? Peaceful? Joyful? Successful? Rejuvenating?
Morning Mantra: TODAYI CREATE A BLISSFUL DAY. I CREATE THE DAY I WANT.

4. CAN

‘Can‘ meant – ‘to know’ in Old English and transformed into ‘to know how to’ in Middle English. Empowering, isn’t it?

The moment you wake up, your mind starts buzzing with thoughts. It is an automated process that triggers anxiety and worry because most of them are negative. Use can as a shield against negativity. Tell yourself that, no matter what will happen during the day, you CAN face it. You know the old saying: God only gives as much as you can handle. Choose your goals for the day and decide that you CAN accomplish them.

Morning mantra: TODAY I CAN.

5. EXPAND

One of the life-governing laws states that change is the only constant in the Universe. From birth to death, life is a chain of transformations. What if today you embraced change? Your existence would become easier as you go with the flow, instead of going against it. What if you took a step, even a small one, to nurturing your soul and expressing your gifts? What if you did something outside your comfort zone? What if you overcame one of your fears?

This is expansion. This is conscious change. The more you expand, the freer you are.

Morning Mantra: TODAY I EXPAND.

6. FULFILL

The Universe needs the unique gift you are born with. We often ignore our talents believing that social status, relationships, and money will bring us happiness. Nothing and nobody can bring you the serenity and a sense of purpose that expressing your gift does. In other words, realizing your full potential.

As long as you are alive, it is never too late for that. Use each day as a wonderful opportunity to nurture your gift and offer it to the world.

Morning Mantra: TODAY I FULFILL MY LIFE PURPOSE.
