honor yourself: word replacement

word replacement

in a recent conversation,
the labels 'good' and 'bad' came up.

neither one of us liked those words.
judgmental.
stifling.

in rethinking, we came up with 'healthy' and 'unhealthy.'
and that made a tremendous difference.

the whole focus felt better.
and it opened me up to a broader picture.

i want to keep that in mind.
i'm thinking this particular word replacement may be
something i want to do as much as i can.

it reminds me of the goal to be as healthy as i can.
and that's something i can't seem to get reminded of enough....

diane in ar said...: I Love It !! Good and Bad are such generalized and actually vague words. . .getting more descriptive and precise - always a wise choice - love choices, especially with words. . .; June 10, 2014 at 1:26 PM

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
