What are you saying about your life to other people? I used to constantly talk negatively about myself to others. People laughed when I said, “I have been put on this earth to be tormented.” I said this all the time because I had so many stupid, demented experiences, and those were usually caused by the toxic people I associated with. Toxic people left. Stupid experiences stopped. 

Joking about how bad my life was provided entertainment for those around me. They laughed and had fun at my expense, while my words wreaked havoc on my existence. The more I vocalized what a loser I was, the more I was stuck with a rundown property in Loserville. 

Talking badly about yourself to others causes groups of people to view you negatively, and this is like collective thinking. If several people think you are destined for disaster, their thoughts (just like your thoughts) are signaling the Universe that you want havoc instead of happiness. See the danger? 

What other people think of me is none of my business, but your reputation IS important. The way people view you plays a role in what your world looks like. If the consensus is you are smart, successful, fortunate, healthy, and destined for greatness, you are more likely to be living your best life; however, if people view you as a loser, you are sending the wrong signals. And you are likely painting a negative picture of yourself through the words you speak. 

Pay attention to your daily phone conversations and the random talks you have with friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers. Are you speaking about yourself negatively? If you are, become aware of what you are allowing people to know about you. They are not entitled to know everything about your life, so think about changing the context of the conversation. Do not allow other people to be entertained by your hardships. 

When others are entertained by your hardships, especially large numbers of people, your ability to manifest good experiences is greatly hindered. Even if your life is not good, change the way people view you through the conversations you have. It is tempting to air dirty laundry. It is tempting to confide in others. Before you do this, think about one thing. Vocalizing your troubles attracts in more trouble. 

Taste your words before you say them. Before you vocalize anything, ask yourself the following questions. 

How will the other person view me? 

Is this a negative thought about my life, or a positive one? 

Am I allowing other people to be entertained by my downfalls?
