Speaking over yourself...

I speak life

You are whole,
You are complete,
You are lacking nothing,
Any and every thing is possible,
All things are working for your good,
May you have an Amazing day and week.

I recently had an experience where my character, integrity, professionalism and other things were, what I believe to be not only questioned but attacked. An opportunity for constructive feedback became an unsolicited barrage of hurtful words out of nowhere. One that almost sent me into a depressive state where I would be functional, but entirely consumed with the circumstances and my capacity gets allocated to ruminating and replaying scenarios from all angles.

In one of his many books, Thich Nhat Hahn, says that words can create happiness or suffering. He elaborates further on this and Right Speech which is one of the points of the Noble Eightfold path — A way we can actively be and practice mindfulness.
