  Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe and welcome
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to the Your Enriched Self podcast. I am your host,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Mylene Noir. I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? That means I am here for you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I want to look out for you. I do this
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: each and every week on purpose for a purpose because
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I want you to become more of your enriched self.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And it's going to take work. We've got to do
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the homework. We've got to take the time, make the effort,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and build consistency around rethinking what's possible in our lives. See,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I know if you're listening to this podcast, you want
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to be the best version of yourself. You want to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: strive for the things that you believe you are capable of.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And to some degree, the things that you might not
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: have even imagined you're capable of, but you're willing to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: go there. You're willing to try. You're willing to show
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: up each and every day. And that's who I want
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you to be every day. Because if you're showing up
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: for yourself, that's half the battle. Most people don't show up.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So being here now tells me a whole lot about you.

• 1:44
  Speaker 1: me that you want to make what's common about your

• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Now this week, I want to talk to you about
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a very important topic. But before we get there, if
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, One of the things I do
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: each and every week is make a deposit in the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: bank of you. And I do that by way of affirmations.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Affirmations are a great way to start your day and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to command your morning. And this week's affirmation is, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: embrace this week. I embrace this week with joy and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: an open heart. Now, let's get ready for this week's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. Okay, we need
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to talk because your mouth, the words that you let
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: leave your mouth, the power of death and life is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in the tongue. That's a proverb that's in the Bible.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And it is a powerful, poignant, and prolific proverb. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: we need to talk because I don't think you are
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: getting this. I don't think you understand this. I've mentioned
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: this and I've had conversations in depth with many people
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in my circle, family, friends, loved ones, coworkers, et cetera,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about the power of our words, the power of your words,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's now gone beyond to watch what
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you say, like watch your mouth, watch what you say. Listen,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I need you to understand this. When you speak, you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: are authorizing something. Yeah, you are authorizing something when you speak.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Do you know what you're authorizing? Do you know what
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you're authoring when you speak? Because your words are no
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: longer just sounds. You're not hearing just sounds from me
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: as I speak to you, as I speak to thee.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What I'm speaking now, what you hear, that's why it's important,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to pay attention to your ear gates, of course your
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: eye gates, but your ear gates. Because the words that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you hear and especially the ones that you speak, because
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you are going to be the most important voice that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you will ever hear in your life. Because that voice
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: not only speaks externally, but there's a lot of internal
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: conversation happening that no one will ever hear about. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: those words, the ones you speak of, they become seeds.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Those words that you think of, they become seeds. They
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: become beliefs. They become expectations. You now give yourself an identity.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Based on those words. Because sometimes somebody told you. You
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: are like this. You are like that. You remind me
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of this. You now start to placate those words. That
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you were told. In your mind. In your mind's heart.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: In your mind's eye. In your mind's ear. And guess what?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The things that we repeatedly speak. Or listen to. Can
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: influence us. What we're creating. The world we're creating outside
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of us and the world we are creating, that you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: are creating inside of you. Because I think we can
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: all answer this question, right? Have you ever said something
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: so many times about yourself that you started believing it? Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Your words are on assignment. They are in fact seeds
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and they are assigned to do a work. So my
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: question to you today is, what are you authorizing with
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: your mouth? Because the things that you are saying, the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: things that you have said, especially about yourself, And you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: got to watch the words you speak over people's lives
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: as well. But those things that you speak, those things
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that you hear, take root. Told you they're seeds. So,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: years ago, growing up, elementary school's been a number of years,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: there was this saying that we would say on the playground,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: never hurt me. Well, listen. Listen. That's a big fat lie.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Because those words, although they might not have a physical
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: bruise or something that someone can see and recognize that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: there was hurt here. Oftentimes you hear people say the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: physical bruises and the physical implications of trauma and drama
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and abuse. are easier to heal than those things that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: are emotional and verbal. Because in fact, those words do hurt.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: In fact, those words will break your bones. Not your
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: physical bones, but your spiritual self, your emotional self. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: although those words were created, I believe... intended to help
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: children become resilient. They simply taught a falsity. These words
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: can hurt. These words shape how we see ourselves. And
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: my God, imagine going back to a younger version of you,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a version of you that needs to hear this. that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: needs to tune away, tune away, maybe not turn away,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: but tune away those words that do not by any
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: means define you. They can shape you. And for some
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of you, you can go back to a very incident
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in which a friend, an adult, someone you looked up to,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: something you saw on TV, you can go back to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that incident incident, that moment, that conversation that shaped something
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: about you, that created a belief system about you simply
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: by a word, a seed that was planted. And now
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it reinforces an insecurity. It has now created a limiting
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: belief that some of you still carry. That conversation now
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: becomes an internal dialogue you have with yourself about yourself
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: day in day out weekend week out month in month
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: out Year in, year out. You have carried the baggage
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of that internal dialogue for years. Some of you for decades.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It now influences your expectations. There are things you believe
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: about yourself that are simply untrue. There are no, there's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: no evidence. There are no findings. It simply was a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: word that was planted by someone about you maybe directly, indirectly,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: some type of way, it came into your ear gates.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You now have this internal dialogue and you may not,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you may have even repeated it. Well, I'm just like this.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm X. Everybody knows that I do this. You now
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: believe this. And this is the narrative you've been living from. Okay.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Case in point here. You don't have to Be the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: original speaker of these words. Like I said, these seeds
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: may have been planted by someone else, a parent, a teacher,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a peer. Somebody said something and that repetitive nature, that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: criticism of whatever it was, your intelligence, your appearance, your personality,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: who you can be, who you shouldn't be, what I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: see you, right? Limiting you. That's when the external voice
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: now is translated or exchanged for your new internal voice.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And now you're living on this accord with something that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you never like on purpose or consciously accepted. So this
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: is the thing I need you to do. If these words,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: if what I just said, the sticks and stones, the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: people that said the things, the way these words have shaped,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: if these things resonated with you, I want you to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: think right now about whose words have been living in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: your head because they're not yours. Those words are not yours.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Those hurtful words, those painful words, those words of insecurity,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the limiting beliefs, you were not born that way. Absolutely not.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You have the words of someone else living in your
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: head and I'm going to tell you right now, it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: time to seize it, identify it, seize it, and trash it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Get rid of it. Dispose of it. Annihilate it. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the way you do that is with a new word.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And that's why each and every week on this podcast,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I talk about affirmations because it is a way to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: command your morning. It is a way to command the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: words and reprogram what was once programmed as who you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: should be, who you could be, and now it has
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: limited who you are. The next thing I want you
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to ask yourself is, is that person, are those words,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: are you giving those words authority or authorization rather to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: speak over your life? Yes or no? Think about what
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: was said. Think about who said it today with what
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you know, what we're talking about, who you're trying to become,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the things that have limited you that started with the words.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Are you still given those words, the authorization to speak
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: over your life? I say no. What say you? I
• 14:42
