How are you named?

dreemsteem in We Are Alive Tribe • 2 years ago (edited)

Words have weight, and names are powerful.

"I didn't say that, DUMMY."

"How are you feeling, my love?"

"Get over here, Stupid."

"You're really worthless, you know that?"

"Good morning, Beautiful."

Did you feel any of those names when you read them? Did they cause any triggers for you? Did you smile, thinking back to someone calling you their love? Did you wince when you read "worthless"?

Words have such weight, and names are so very powerful. They shape our identity, and mold our mindsets. They can sap our confidence, or infuse us with energy.

I know all of this.

I know that hearing something over and over and over will start to break down your defenses (for good and bad) and begin to change the way you see yourself.

So, I don't know why it was so surprising after a few weeks of using my Supernatural app that I actually started feeling STRONG. feeling FOCUSED. feeling CAPABLE!!!

Every day I use this app to workout, the coaches consistently tell us how amazingly strong we are. They call us ATHLETES. They call us WARRIORS. And I CANNOT BELIEVE just how I beam every time they say this!!!

I push a little harder.
Reach a little higher.
Work a little stronger.

And I absolutely LOVE it. ❤️ Yesterday, my Oculus headset was going very wonky. haha I didn't know why it was, but now I'm hearing that solar flares have been interrupting all kinds of devices and internet and such. So, yesterday I needed to do a DIFFERENT kind of workout - and I truly missed hearing those little bursts of encouragement.

But thanks to them infusing me for weeks and weeks, I still felt like a warrior athlete. I claim that lovely title for me - and I'm encouraging you all to start being kind to yourselves. Start believing in yourself and erase those old bitter titles that you have heard - and rename yourself according to what you WANT to be named.

So what is it?

What is your preferred name??

I would love to hear what you want to rename yourself - in the comment section!!!

and yep #dreemer family, I absolutely nailed that THIRD gold star yesterday!!!

GO DREEMERS!!!

That is one thing well possibly the main thing that got me to decide Supernatural is the workout for me of the various VR ones I tried
The coaches and their motivational words including calling us athletes warriors etc

As for my preferred very few other than family know my real name actually you know it through connecting on supernatural LOL but my nickname has been JJ for decades now and that’s what I answer to

But the favorite that anyone has ever called me was Mr impossible by a boss if many years and he didn’t say it to my face but I heard it from many others

And he told one person when asked why and it was because of my mindset whenever he had a task others said was impossible he would give it to me as I didn’t believe in impossible and would always find a creative solution

Cheers

Yeah I was quite proud he thought of me like that
I think it’s more my stubbornness that if I get given a challenge or task I have to get it done and will brainstorm solutions on the fly and find some creative way to get it done

Good luck with supernatural I hope it works well for you today

No wonder our African parents name is most times based on the circumstances surrounding our birth.

I was told by a Dreeemie someone to say this;

My Name Is Achiever

Hehe.

Truly, this is why those that are into planting usually believe in saying good things to whatever they planted. It grows better when you say good words, but withers when they say bad words to them. Hehe.

Don't ask where I got that 😂😂😂.

I'm an Achiever. First quarter of the year was good. I thank God for life and for the grace to be alive and healthy. Hehe.

Now that I'm thinking about this, I don't remember the last time I ever used cuss words. Hahah. Am I becoming a saint? 😂

I started going to the gym recently and my instructors have done nothing but fuel me with a kind of energy I never thought I could have.

I've been going to a very private gym before now. I work out alone but I don't feel it.

With these instructors, I feel powerful. They tell me how good I look and how I'm doing an amazing job. They push me with kind words and I have to say it has boosted my work productivity over the last few days.

Kind and energising words do so much good for me that I can't even explain. Especially in times when I don't even know I need them.

I don't think I want to rename myself. However, I love it what people call me AMAZING lol

Haha, this is so amazing and inspiring. I too have been doing my workout and hope to post about it today. I am not using an app but a dance video from YouTube. The dance promises to give me figure 8 hahahahahahahahaha and of course it shows Those who started dancing with it and has got their figure 8 shape. Seriously waiting for mine, hahahahaha. As for my name, I have always loved anything adorable and that's where Adore came from. But recently someone gave me another name that I have come to love. He hasn't seen me in 33yrs since after primary school. And when he saw me recently, he called me AGELESS. Looking good has been good business for me, hahahaha and most times, people don't agree when I tell them my real age. So now that you asked, I am going with the name, AGELESS Adore. 💃💃💃💃

Someone used to call me "Angel" 20 years ago and still does from time to time through the years and I love the ring to it. I was lucky that I have never heard any hurting names except that few times where I was referred to as a snob because of my quiet nature, lol! Words have power and positive ones make our soul glow :)

Yay! You did absolutely well! Congratulations on your 3rd golden star!

I tried doing my workout and the app promised me that I would have a big buttocks in 2weeks. Here I am still carrying my flat buttocks after intensively working out for two weeks.

I love the name achiever. You can do and be whatever you want to be.

I'll go for beautiful because I am beautiful 😄😄. Names really do have effects on people. This is why I frown at parents who call their kids names like "stupid", "hopeless" etc. These names aren't nice and have a way of doing the exact opposite of what was intended..

This is such a lovely post...and a very important one. You use such kind words to everyone around you and it's no wonder people feel so good being in your space. Your words always uplift. For me... there are a few words I have been called in my life that I didn't relate to and which completely upset my balance EVERY SINGLE TIME... because I struggle to avoid taking the bait. And I never believed I was those words or that those words truly represented who I was as a person, but they still hurt. Words matter!

As far as choosing a new name lol ... I already did that some time ago on a few of the discords related to Hive communities where we were encouraged to use fun alt names. Someone else chose a superhero-esque name and I thought...why not..that sounds like fun! So I chose... Wonder Woman as someone who represents qualities to aspire to...hehe... (and I even bought a Wonder Women character keychain to remind me every time I leave the house). They are massive Wonder boots to fill but just striving to do good around me makes me feel that I am at least partway to achieving something meaningful... and this is why I chose her... the last line in particular rings true haha

As Themyscira's emissary to Man's World, Diana has made it her duty to lead by example, even if the differences between her birthplace and new home sometimes present hurdles for her to jump. She has come to represent the possibility and potential of life without war, hate or violence, and she is a beacon of hope to all who find themselves in need. She stands as an equal among the most powerful Super Heroes, with a sense of purpose to protect the world from injustice in all forms.

Diana's job, however, is anything but easy. Constantly torn between her mission to promote peace and her need to fight back against the pervasive violence of her new home, Diana struggles to walk a line between her warrior strength and endless compassion each and every day. source
