What do I mean?

Take the word Possible… add ‘im’ at the beginning; it then becomes Impossible.

Very different outcomes.

The same is true for:

• Balance…Imbalance
• Perfection…Imperfection
• Mature…Immature
• Moral…Immoral
• Moveable…Immovable
• Purity…Impurity
• Practical…Impractical
• Measurable…Immeasurable
• Material…Immaterial
• and many others

The power of two letters. 

I got curious about the meaning of the prefix ‘im’ and found that the original Latin meaning is ‘not’ or ‘without’ in English. It alters word meanings to represent negativity, absence, or opposite. 

Whenever you use the ‘im’ word version, consider that what you want or expect is the base word without the ‘im’.

And there is another way to make a small change that creates a big difference with the ‘im’ prefix.

Audrey Hepburn is famous for this sharing:

“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, I’m Possible.”

By adding an apostrophe and a space, the impossible becomes I’m possible! Small change, big difference.

When you express that something is impossible, then it is!
Switch that to the supportive concept of either ‘I am possible’ or ‘It is possible for …’

This works for any of the ‘im’ words. 

Switch to what you want instead of what is being perceived as absent.

When you switch your internal dialogue or the words you express, unseen opportunities can come into view because you have chosen to focus on the potential of ‘positive’ rather than ‘negative’.

Have fun exploring this.

Shifting from Impossible to Possible is exactly what we offer during a PSYCH-K® private session or workshop.
