The Top 120 Most Empowering Words in English

Words of Empowerment for Your Affirmations, Business, Writing, and Life

Words have limitless power over how we think, act, and communicate. Words help us develop our best life, affirm our health and find balance.

The simple truth is that the words that we choose to use when we talk to ourselves and to others absolutely shape the path of our lives.

What are Words?

Have you ever stopped to think about the complexity of words?

Words, in essence, are a combinations of sounds that come from our throats and are shaped by our mouths, and each word has a different vibration and a different meaning. The energy of this vibration and meaning has the power to interact with our bodies and change our own energies.

Changing Your Negative Words to Empowering Words

The act of changing our words from negative ones to empowering ones is one of the most transformational things we can do for the betterment of our lives!

How often do we respond with words like:

“Goddammit Dawn, you’re such a klutz.”

“I’m so sorry, I’m a terrible friend, I’m 30 minutes late to our lunch date.”

It’s natural for us to respond to ourselves with negative words when something negative happens. But how could our day, our spirit, our life change if we changed those negative words to positive ones?

“Oops, I didn’t mean to spill the water. I’ll just go clean it up!”

“Thank you so much for waiting for me! Our lunch date is so important to me, but something unavoidable happened.”

Changing our negative words to positive ones helps us respond differently to ourselves after a mistake. It also implies growth mindset.

I’m not going to get into growth mindset here, but basically, it implies that your intellect, success, talents, skills, and other aspects of your life can be learned and developed.

(In contrast, a fixed mindset is the belief that people are just simply “born that way”. Some people are just dumb. Some people are just lucky. Some people just have natural talent.)

A growth mindset is essential for learning and growing!

(As a mother, having a growth mindset is imperative to the growth of development of my boys… children learn first and foremost through learned behaviors from their parents!)

Writing

When you’re writing to empower others, convince others of an idea, or keep someone’s attention, lukewarm words will likely put your readers to sleep! Use powerful words to elicit a strong emotional reaction from your readers.
