"We Become The Words We Think About.."

...All Day Long! Yvonne Oswald has done a tremendous job in laying out the blueprint on how we can not only improve the communication with ourselves but also with the people in our lives. This book is filled with many truths. One of the core concepts of this book is that Switching your language provides a wonderful solution to nonproductive selftalk. For example, 'It's hard' becomes 'It's not easy' 'I'm broke' becomes 'I'm not rich' The beauty of this strategy is that your unconscious mind doesn't hear the word 'not'. Therefore it hears, 'It's easy' 'I'm rich' Now those words are music to my ears! The author states that the unconscious mind thinks you're talking about yourself when you are talking about other people. In other words, it accepts things literally and personally. Makes you think twice about speaking negatively about other people,huh?:) Another key concept that was discussed was the fact that the unconscious mind's prime directive is to operate and preserve the physical body, so all suggestions that have to do with keeping the body healthy are immediately accepted, remembered and acted upon. This is an incredible value piece of information because you can use this when setting your goals. Now, like many self-help people, she talks about using affirmations that incorporate preserving your health. I think that's excellent advice. If affirmations work for you, be all means, continue to use them as a method of presenting your desire to the unconscious mind. However, if you are like most people, and have challenges with affirmations, I suggest you present your desires to the unconscious mind in the form of a question instead. Here are some examples: 'Why is receiving $250,000 in income from my business so exciting and so healthy for me now?' 'Why is meeting my dream woman so healthy for me now?' 'Why is receiving a brand new Mercedes Benz so healthy for me now? Basically, the author is saying that you can reprogram the unconscious mind simply by understanding the instruction it needs in order to produce high-energy and directed output. The author also talks about associating high energy words with your goals as a way to supercharge them. Some examples of high energy words are: choose/choice, God, harmony, believe, success, exciting, etc. Furthermore, the author who is a Master NLP practitioner, talks about the 4 modes of communication and how to recognize another persons communication style so you can build rapport with them. I thought this was really practical, especially for men. Women, on average, are better communicators than men. It's not that men can't communicate. It's just that it comes more naturally to women. I recognize how important communication is so I'm always looking for ways to improve it. Therefore, I highly recommend you read and apply the strategies in this book to create the life you truly deserve. I also recommend you get The Secret Code of Success by Noah St. John because it complements

Change Your Life For The Best!

Every Word Has Power is one of the most powerful and transforming books I have ever read - it is so full of wisdom. As I read it I marked it up with my yellow marker, pen and pencil! In the introduction the author describes the human brain and elaborates that the language we are using today has many words that are in essence outdated - they evolved out of our middle brain polarity thinking. This book teaches us not only a new `updated' language but also how to communicate by accessing our higher brain - the `more recently' developed neocortex. When I read this section, this was such a revelation for me - a light went off! I took German language classes as a teen and learning it was a process which required attention, intention and practice - so why would my learning to think and talk a new language of high-energy communication be any different. I suddenly had a patient mindset. The wisdom in this book goes beyond `think positive' - it offers real life examples and exercises - to teach us how to interact with our world from a high energy state. There is a simple and powerful decision making technique which taps you into your higher consciousness (and this process works for me, even when my ego does not like the answers! Seems my higher consciousness prefers that I eat more vegetables and decrease the ice cream!) And just wait till you do the forgiveness technique! Since working with this material I feel a self-strength in my life again. I am grateful to the author and thank her for providing this information for 'the many' - it truly is a gift. Be prepared to change your life for the absolute BEST!

I highly, highly recommend this book. It will change your life.
