How often do you use the word NEVER? “I will never do that again!” “She will never keep her word.” “He will never do the job right.” How about: “I will never get married again.”
Whenever we use never it should mean that we do not intend on having the same experience again. We plan to refrain from whatever behavior or situation we experienced and want to avoid a repeat experience at all costs.
Interestingly the word never can work in a positive way as well. We can decide on those things that we let slide, or do not do that we should do, and affirm to ourselves that we will stop putting ourselves second. We will start to make choices each and every day that work for us instead of against us.
So instead of using never in a negative way, try using it in a way that will cause you to improve and excel rather than fall back and not meet your own expectations. How about I will never underestimate myself again! I will never stop trying to reach my goal. You get the idea.
Make your positive list of what you will never do again. Decide that you are worth it. What you do every day does matter, and if you truly feel that you want to change where you are and what you do, start that never list and stick to it! You can do it! Let us know what you will never do again! Together we can accomplish amazing things! xo Sally
