Words to Encourage Yourself when the Going is tough!

It is oh so easy to say the wrong words when we are overwhelmed with furnace heat of our challenges:

I give up

I can’t see a way out

The situation looks dire!

And so on and so forth.  Well, let’s change that today with some self pep talk!

Speaking right takes training and discipline.  You keep at it.  Listen up, the Bible says Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.  Is it not amazing that Death was used first before Life?  Do you know why?  

Because it is ever so easy to speak death than life over our circumstances and our life.  

But we can change that through speaking life giving words that are positive.  Trust me, a lot is at stake just by the mere words we speak.  That is one thing I admired about Chuck.  He spoke his way through the diagnosis of mental illness till it became a thing of the past, defying the odds!  

Remember the tip I gave some time back...Rather than speak negative, take a sip of water and wash it down!  Have that bottle handy, mate.

There is no better time to start speaking right than today.  What are you waiting for?

About The Author

Zoe

Zoe met Eze (Chuck) in the 14th year of what turned out to be an 18 year ‘journey’ with mental illness. They got married less than a year of meeting with Zoe fully knowing Chuck had a diagnosis of mental illness. In the 18th year, Chuck defied the odds of mental illness. A consultant psychiatrist signed him off the mental health system with a bill of NO MENTAL ILLNESS. The consultant was so amazed by Chuck’s astonishing recovery that he even questioned how Chuck was diagnosed with mental illness all those years before, in the first place! Today Chuck is free from medication, its dependency and hospitalizations. Zoe’s award nominated book, DEFYING THE ODDS, chronicles the highs and ‘lows’ of this journey. Zoe, often writing from the standpoint of a caregiver, clearly understands that mental illness does not only affect an individual challenged with the disease, but also families, marriages and society as a whole.
