There is a childhood mantra that goes
like this:
Sticks and
stones may break my bones,
But words
can never harm me
I don’t buy that. Some of us live with word wounds for most of
our lives. Words have a way of staying
around long after they are spoken.
How do we overcome word wounds?
We have to replace them with wholesome
images of our true identity and worth.
Some people use mantras, poems, or
Biblical passages that are meaningful.
Try some of these:
I can
God is with me
I approve of myself
I am a worthy individual
I
believe in myself
Have hope. Breathe on the embers of your potential with
some wholesome words.
Replace the words of your past with fresh
words for your future.
Word wounds can heal.
