Power of words

"Its like having a relationship with BPD, You can go and be with your demos"

Words from my ex. I remember sitting very very still after that statement. It was like my ex was saying I'm a illness and not a person.

I bet some of you have heard that saying where words won't hurt you ? But the truth is That words do hurt you even more so "Your" words hurt you.

Words have power. When we hear things we start to believe them. People often speak about self harming. But do you ever think that you are harming your self by the words you speak over yourself or allow others to speak over you?

How often do we allow people to walk over us because we feel like we going lose them and be rejected ?

I know I have. I then allow people to say Mean stuff about me and even though it breaks me I too start to speak it over myself.

Maybe its time to speak life and day wonderful things over yourself because words have power.

One of the things I learnt in my recovery was to stand in front of the mirror and look at myself and say the following.

I am loved

I am worth it

I am important

I am kind

It was hard for me to do it and it took months for me to do it. At the end I knew I Was important enough to speak wonderful things over myself and to love me because I am loveable. 😊💪
