Is your love speaking?

William Michael Forbes




We’ve been given the choice to be in love or fear and it’s how we are choosing that is determining the events of our world…. wmf

Choice is a spiritual muscle that needs continuous exercise in order to work properly all the time.

Is your love speaking is an idea that I want to share with you today, it is an idea that has several angles to it. The first and perhaps the most important side; How do we speak internally to ourselves?  By speaking to ourselves I mean they way in which our thoughts and emotions are utilized in the privacy of our internal thinking and imaginings about our world, the people, events and places in it. How are your thoughts in your mind at any given time? How do they sound and feel top you? I believe that the quality of our thoughts determines, to a large extent, the nature and quality of our expression to the rest of the world around us.

The second side to Is your love speaking is how we communicate directly with others at any given point of time throughout the day, at work, at play and in any social setting where we need to interact with others…what is the quality of your voice when you are speaking to others? What tone of voice do you use? Are you communicating positively or negatively…does your communication bring the energy up or down? And the finally how are others communicating with you? What is their voice tone like? Is it pleasing, grating, happy, sad, bitter? How do you feel when people talk a certain way to you.


Today’s activity on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is an opportunity for you to bedcome a little more aware of how you communicate with yourself and others and It will only take two to four minutes per hour. When you have the opportunity take a minute to notice what your internal voice sounds like while you are going about your day. Consider; Does the thoughts you’re using inside your head sound friendly, annoyed, happy or sad?...and what is the underlying feeling in relation to your internal voice? Once you’ve identified this, try changing the internal tone of your voice, the way your voice sounds inside your mind…make it a deliberately happy tone, or a deliberately excited tone or even a calm and relaxed tone…then notice how the underlying feeling changes. Next…take an opportunity to notice what happens in your conversations with other. How are they speaking to you? What is the tone of voice they are speaking to you in and what thoughts does their tone of voice make your mind think about and how do those thoughts feel? What tone of voice are you responding to them in? Now try changing the tone of your voice with them and notices how they respond to you and how that feels. The purpose of today’s activity is to give you some experience in becoming aware of the effects our voices can have upon ourselves and other and to also begin learning how to consciously direct our thoughts and emotional energies where we want them to take us and…


Have a Great day!
