Words are your Superpower - A.S. Stephens
Introduction
Y
ou are a superhero. You wake up every day and move through life, facing many battles and achieving small victories with each challenge you overcome. But are there days you don’t feel like this is true? Are there days when the words of people seem to sap all the power from you?
In this book, you’ll learn how to take inventory of who and where you are right now, the words that destroy and suck power from your life, and the words that help you fight your battles. You’ll also be able to identify the best words for each battle you face and condition yourself to live successfully, confidently, and authentically in your new identity as a superhero.
My goal is to help you understand the principles behind the power of words and give you practical tips that will help. To let you know that you are not alone and help you formulate an action plan so your life can change. To help you identify the source of the negative words and tips on how to begin to switch them out for positive ones. My goal is to give you tools so that you can live a happier life with words of support and encouragement in your head. To let you know that when you try something new, no matter the outcome, there are positive words and affirmation you can tell yourself so you can keep trying until you find the things that work for your life.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up content with some areas of my life, like family, religion, and books, and unsettled in others, like anything requiring hand-eye coordination and speaking in front of more than five people. From the age of around 20, I would often face times of frustration and sadness, without ever really knowing why. I knew that I could be living a better life but was unsure how to go about it without destroying what I loved about my life, my relationships with family and friends, the love of learning new things, an interesting and tiring job with great people just to name a few. Words had something to do with it. I was sure of this because I would fight the tapes of negative words playing through my mind. So, I figured if I could change the words playing through my mind, I could change my life. On the other hand, I was wary. I didn’t want everything to change.
I loved being able to entertain myself, the stories running through my head. My mind is an active and imaginative place. I didn’t hate my job, but I wanted to try something new and to work towards being the best version of myself instead of settling for what I could get. So, I started learning about words and how to use them to change my life. Along the way, I discovered the power in words, those spoken to me and those I spoke to myself. I began to learn how to change the words I spoke to myself and in doing so, I changed my life.
It didn’t happen overnight. It took almost six months before I started to recognize I felt different going through my days. Words in books had always fascinated me. Throughout the process of changing my life, the words I said to myself began to do the same. Instead of feeling beat up by my words, I began to feel encouraged. My first thought when trying something new was no longer You’ll fail.
It became Let’s see what happens.
My first reaction to making a mistake was no longer, You’re so stupid.
Instead, it changed to What did you learn and what can you do better?
. These changes in words profoundly changed how I saw myself, how I showed up each day, and even how I felt about myself.
One day, during my time of prayer and reflection, I felt the call to help others who may be struggling as I was. To help the person who lives each day in conflict, battling the tapes of negative words playing through their head. To help the person who gives themself a daily pep talk, even if they struggle to believe it. I wanted to help them understand the process of switching out the negative words for positive words. I wanted to give them a chance to not be mentally exhausted at the end of the day, a chance to have some of the sadness go away and the frustrations leave with it. Maybe I could help someone so their smile could be real, or their breaths could be easy.
Are you such a person? Do you feel like some battles are harder than they should be? Do you end more days feeling tired and defeated than triumphant? Do you often feel like life wins and you lose?
If so, there may be villains sneaking up on you but only because you have neglected to put your unique superpower to use. Words, spoken internally and externally, are the superpowers that can help you turn your defeats into triumphs. Ask yourself, what words make up your unique superpower?
This book is a practical guide for you to work through and discover your individual superpower. I will share stories of how I identified my own, but I cannot tell you what yours are. Your superpowers
