The Spoken Word: Why What We Say to Ourselves Matters
Hi, I’m Elizabeth from Elizabeth Magical Garden, and welcome to this today’s reflection.
Before we begin, find a comfortable spot. Maybe you want to be in your room, sitting down or laying down. Take deep breaths. Ease yourself into the relaxation of understanding that you’re safe. This is your moment to reflect on what is most important.
The Power of Our Words
Today, I want to speak about the spoken word and why the things we say to ourselves can be harmful—or healing.
Let’s start with scripture from Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV):
Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV) “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
When you hear this, how does it make you feel? How did the word “condemned” sit with you? Did it make you nervous? Did you feel a particular pain in a particular area of your body?
Words are powerful.
I believe that God wanted to emphasize our ability to create life or death within the word. When God created the world, He spoke life into it. He said, “Let there be light.”
Light is what is within us. Love is within us. And our ability to focus and bring back thought into the words we profess can change our lives.
A Poem from Maya Angelou
I’d like to share a poem from Maya Angelou:
“Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.” — Maya Angelou
I believe that we have the ability to not only speak life, but to change our lives through the spoken word.
Words That Heal
Here are a couple of affirmations that I believe will set you on the healing path:
- “I am worthy.”
- “I am blessed.”
- “I am capable.”
- “Thank you for this healing rest.”
- “Thank you, God, for this new beginning.”
You Have the Power
You have the power to change your life, and it starts now.
Be mindful of the words you speak to yourself. They shape your reality. They create your world.
Until tomorrow, stay blessed. ✨

The Paralyzing Power of “What If”
But here’s the thing: instead of feeling over-the-moon excited, I’ve been moving in slow motion. And honestly? That’s funny to me, given the gravity of the move I just made.
