The use of the word is something very powerful, we humans are the only species on the planet to have spoken and written word, this is something that we take for granted sometimes. What we say, both to ourselves and others carries weight. It can make the difference between success and failure or happiness and sorrow.
The word is used to reinforce thoughts. If we have negative thoughts and express them through the word, it can potentially to steer a situation in a negative direction. Conversely, if we consciously express more positive thoughts with words it can give us confidence we didn't even know we had.
I am focusing on this frequently lately as the grading day is drawing nearer. The self doubt creeps up and attempts to take over, but I cannot let it take control. I am not reinforcing it with negative self talk, as much as I can help. It is very easy to let negativity take the wheel. It is easier to have more positive self talk if I just focus on what I need to do, practice frequently and stay on top of everything in my control to prevent any unwarranted guilt that may manifest.
