Power of words

Did you ever say something out of anger and thought that well, it's just words. It can't hurt that much. They will have forgotten all about this. This is a video that shows just how much it can hurt.

This is a group that went to high schools in order to stop bullying and discrimination. It is a very powerful exercise to show just how much words hurt. I see this in homes too, between couples, parent and child and siblings. Words have a lasting effect and sometimes we don't know the extent of the damage it has created.

Before voicing those thoughts out of anger or frustration, take a moment to take a deep breath and see what it is that is really the issue. Are you hurt, frustrated or tired? Do you want to get back for something the other has said? What will you gain out of saying those things? Will it hurt the other person? Why do you want to do this?

Words do have a lasting effect on people. Why not choose ones that will motivate and inspire them. Use words to show your love and appreciation, to boost the other's self esteem. You will in turn feel the inspiration and love for yourself and create a new world for yourself and your family.

Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in the tele-seminar. I found it very informative and I really feel that it will help me in my relationship with my stepdaughter. I realize that my expectations from our relationship were unrealistic. Your 'mentor' or 'extra mom' idea really struck me as something that I could benefit from. The seminar also made me aware that my stepdaughter and I are lacking one on one time, and really getting to know each other as individuals.

After twenty years, I still wanted to address personal needs and to improve my communication with my two children and my husband. Asking and getting help from a life coach was new for me, but it was a life changing experience.

The benefits exceeded my expectations. They were the subtle realizations about myself that allowed me to be better prepared to reach my goals. I learned that by breaking the process into a smaller steps, I could manage it more easily.

From Claudette L. Chênevert’s suggestions, life coach at Coaching Steps, I was able to go from an overwhelmed individual with insurmountable problems to a self-assured person who has all the resources in her to rise above difficulties.

This was the highlight of my coaching series. From this series, I discovered that giving time and attention to a small part of a whole situation gave me, an impatient person, the time to stay calm and to look at my personal strengths and experiences first, in order to relate with the individual with whom I want to better communicate and have a better understanding of what was going on.

I just wanted to thank you for everything. The last 12 weeks have been a total wake-up call for me. I went from being indecisive to knowing exactly what I wanted. Your kick in the butt every week has been life changing. While you gave me those kick in the butt, there you were almost beside me saying: " Come on you can do this, I am waiting for you at this end" and at the end of or beginning of the week there you were again with your support, understanding, kindness, suggestions and care to give me the next kick. Thanks to all of this, here I am with the position I was dreaming of, doing what I love most. Thank you a thousand time for being there for me.

TIP OF THE MONTH

Let's Focus on Building Relationships.

Stephen Covey talks in his books about the "Emotional Bank Account". Do you know what your balance is?

Let's look at a few things here.

1. You need to deposit on a daily basis in order to create interest.
2. Not all deposits are created equally
3. Your word should be gold. Don't promise things you have no intention of keeping.
4. Revisite your core values and live them.
5. Always have something nice to say to each other-Every Day!
6. Forgive and Forget!
7. Seek first to understand the other before being understood.

Remember, we are here for a limited time. We have no idea what tomorrow or the next hour might bring us. Live your life with purpose and intent.
