Power of Words Compass
Words that moved me, words I use
This sheet is for looking at where words take a person.
Write, side by side, the one line that lifted you up, the words you often use, and the words you want to hear these days.
Write down the words that come out by habit, and you'll see what you've been saying to yourself.
How it works
- Read the question at the top and call to mind the words that stayed with you.
- In the boxes below, write the line that lifted you up, the words you say often, and the words you want to hear.
- In the big space, tell the story of when you heard those words.
- At the end, write one line you want to say to yourself today.
When · with whom
An activity for doing on your own. It suits times when you want to change the way you talk, or when your heart feels hollow.
Power of Words Compass
- Words that lifted me up — heard from someone
- Words I often say — the ones on my lips
- Words I want to hear these days — if only someone said them
- To finish, why not write down one thing you'd like to say to yourself today?
