Be careful. Little ears overhear. Innocent little hearts form in fear. For the words spoke over them scar them somewhere deep within. So, be careful. Little ears overhear. It’s easy to forget how powerful our words can be. When we’re angry, when we’re hurt, we tend to release careless words, and there’s no way to take them back. There’s no undo button in the brain. We can overwrite negative messages from the past if we’re persistent and intentional about it, but we first have to recognize them for what they are. These old recordings blast through our bodies whenever someone pushes the play button, and we habitually play along because that’s just what we do. It’s our normal. We often don’t even recognize what has happened until after the fact, once it’s too late to process or to make a conscious decision. It’s impossible to be responsible for ourselves because we have no ability to respond. Besides, blaming someone else is so much easier. Projecting our pain and fear doesn’t hurt us directly, so we make excuses, justify our behavior, and do anything not to feel it. Feel the pain. Examine each and every scar still deep within your heart, so the little child parts can finally heal.
