I have been thinking a lot about how powerful our words can be—not only to the person receiving them but also to how they affect us! What we say has even more of an impact on ourselves!

We have countless stories about how certain things people have said to us can scar us for a long time (sometimes even our entire life if we let it have that much power over us). This is completely true. I have my own scars from times throughout my life when people said something that truly crushed me.

But how often do you reflect on what you have said to others or yourself?

When you speak about other people and they are not around, is there honor in your words?

If someone is listening in on the inner dialogue in your head, is it judgemental or kind?

In the United States, we are one week away from this round of our election cycle. It has completely divided our country. And if the polls are correct, it is a 50/50 split. That means that you are very likely to be good friends with, neighbors with, or related to someone who is going to vote differently than you.

I want to remind you that your words matter. How you speak about yourself and others matters. How you treat people who think, act or believe in something different from you also matters.

As we move into a divisive political arena followed by an often triggering holiday season, I want you to consider these affirmations.

I own my peace, for it comes from within.
I speak heart-centered truth in the most compassionate and kind way possible.
I own my own energy.
I decide how I show up and serve in this world.
I am love.

Let's commit to not gossiping about other people, especially if they disagree with you, or are going through something challenging. They need our love, not our judgment.

XOXO, Kara
