Distract Yourself with Positive Power Words

Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind can spiral when you’re feeling down, anxious or emotionally overwhelmed?

Suddenly one tough thought turns into ten more. And before you know it, you’re tangled in a web of worry or sadness, unsure how to pull yourself out.

Here’s something simple—but powerful—that’s helped me on days like that:

Use Words as a Way to Shift Your Energy

👉Words carry energy.
👉They shape the way we think.
👉They influence how we feel.

And when chosen intentionally, they can change everything.

This is where Positive Power Words come in.

These are words that uplift you, inspire you, make you feel stronger, or simply give your brain something better to focus on.

🧠 Why This Works

When your thoughts are heavy, your nervous system often follows—your heart races, your breath shortens, and everything feels tense.

But when you distract yourself with something playful, creative, and focused (like thinking of positive words), you break that stress loop. You calm your mind. You activate curiosity. And you start to feel lighter.

It’s mindfulness... in disguise!
