About Verbs and Words


When we speak, we use verbs, which describe the action of the subject. Your mind, or subconscious, hears verbs as commands. That means when your mind hears a verb, it wants you to act upon the verb, or do what it impels. Your mind usually hears the verb, not the words around it. For instance, when you say or think a verb, your mind tells you to do what the verb commands.

You want to have positive results of your speech. This means to do something, not to “not do something.”

One of the most-used “negative” uses of a verb is the expression “don’t forget.” What does your mind actually hear and want to do? Forget. Could you instead use the expression remember? How many times do you hear, “never forget,” when instead, “always remember”would be a better choice of verbs, urging you to remember.

What expressions do you use that would urge or impel you to do something you don’t really want to do? Can you re-phrase them, using a positive verb, to manifest the result you want?

Related to verbs are words to describe yourself. How many times, in frustration, do you call yourself unflattering or demeaning names? Like “dummy” when something you are trying to do is not working. Could the expression rather be, “I can do this,” or, “I can learn this,” to urge your mind to do it or learn it, instead of dumbing yourself down? There are many expressions used that can be re-phrased to manifest the desired outcome instead of focusing on the difficult.

Try it in your life and see how it works out.
