May 08 … Cleansing your Speech

Pause a few minutes this morning to think of the most common “curse words” you have used (or still use) in your life.  If you don’t curse at all, think of some of the one’s you hear most often around you … Next, pick a few of them and come up with an unusual, “clean” alternative for each (e.g. “God Bless it!” in place of “God damn it!”, “Sustenance!” in place of “Shit!”, etc).  Be creative, and be sure that your alternatives are positive as well as inspirational (humorous is good too) … Finally, at least once per hour today, use one of your new, Wonder-full replacements — always doing so loudly and with dramatic vigor.
