Clearing Old Agreements So They Don’t Follow You

We say things we don’t mean all the time.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t leave a mark.

Every thought we dwell on, every phrase we repeat, especially when spoken with emotion becomes an agreement. A contract between our inner world and our outer reality. And just because we’ve “moved on” from something we said or believed doesn’t mean the energy of it has moved on from us.

Sometimes, we’re living in the consequences of words we spoke years ago, words we forgot, but our spirit didn’t. Words we outgrew but never cleared.

And in a world where “manifestation” is trending and “death and life are in the power of the tongue” is quoted on loop, it’s time to go deeper.
Because if we’re not intentional, the things we once said could still be shaping the life we’re living today.

Words Don’t Just Disappear

Science has already confirmed that words are energy.
They carry frequency. They affect our nervous system, our brain chemistry, our heart rate, and even our immune response.

Think about it, your body reacts physically when someone speaks to you harshly.
You feel warmth when someone speaks to you with love.
You’ve probably even cried over a sentence that hit a little too close to home, one you read ten years ago.

That’s not random. That’s resonance.

And it doesn’t just apply to other people’s words, it applies to your own.

Every time you say, “I can’t do this,” “I’ll never catch a break,” or “I’m not meant to be happy”… your body listens.
Your energy responds. Your mind takes notes.

Be Mindful of the Songs You Sing

It’s not just what we say in frustration that shapes our reality, it’s what we sing on repeat without even thinking.

Music is one of the most powerful energetic tools we have. It bypasses logic. It drops straight into the subconscious. It teaches us what to expect from life, from love, from aging, from ourselves...often without our permission.

Take a look at the lyrics you’ve been singing without question.
Songs like Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud might sound romantic at first, but look closer:

“When your legs don’t work like they used to before…”
“When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades…”

Those words aren’t just painting a sweet picture of lasting love, they’re programming decline.
They speak more about deterioration than devotion.
More about fading than flourishing.

And because music moves past your defenses, you might be singing things into your spirit that you’d never say out loud on your own.

Start paying attention to the messages you’re putting on repeat.
Especially the ones you call “your song.”
Especially the ones you sing with your whole chest.

Because the chorus you belt out today might quietly become the reality you walk into tomorrow.

Agreements We Didn’t Know We Made

We don’t always mean to speak death over ourselves. Sometimes we’re just venting.
But repeated words, especially emotional ones, form grooves in our energy field and over time, they start to shape the path we walk.

Think about how many people have casually said things like:

• “I probably won’t live past 40.”
• “Love just doesn’t work out for me.”
• “My whole family is cursed with bad luck.”
• “I’ll never get out of this cycle.”
• “If I ever lose them, I won’t want to live anymore.”

Those words get said in passing.
But the energy they carry sticks around.
And unless you go back and clear them, they can still have an effect, no matter how much healing work you’ve done since.

We don’t just need new goals.
We need to undo the energetic weight of the old ones we made, especially the ones we never meant to make.

Faith-Filled… But Reckless with Words

This one’s for the believers. The spiritual folks. The churchgoers and scripture-quoters.

If you truly believe that “death and life are in the power of the tongue,”
then why are you still saying:

• “This job is killing me.”
• “These kids are gonna drive me crazy.”
• “I’m broke.”
• “I’m tired of this life.”

You can’t say you believe your words hold power and then speak death over yourself every day. You can’t shout hallelujah on Sunday and curse your own future on Monday.
That’s not faith. That’s contradiction.

You either believe your words carry weight or you don’t.
And if you do believe it… then you need to treat your words like seeds.

Because no matter how much you pray, meditate, or manifest, if your mouth is planting destruction, don’t be surprised when something unwanted starts to grow.

How to Clear What Was Spoken

The good news? You can always rewrite the story.
But just like we detox our bodies, we have to detox our words too.

Here’s how to begin:

1. Acknowledge it.
   Think back to the phrases you used to say or still say, when you’re hurting, afraid, or fed up. Be honest. No shame, just awareness.
2. Break the agreement.
   Speak it out loud: “I no longer agree with this.”
   Say: “I release this belief.”
   Or: “That may have been true for me once, but it’s not who I am anymore.”
3. Replace it with something aligned.
   Instead of “I’m cursed,” try “I’m breaking every cycle I was born into.”
   Instead of “Nothing ever works out,” try “Things are unfolding in ways I can’t yet see.”
   Find a new phrase that feels true and healing.
4. Use ritual, writing, or prayer to seal it.
   Burn a note. Speak over yourself in the mirror. Say it while you journal or meditate. Do whatever helps your body and spirit feel the release.

Clearing old agreements is energetic hygiene.
It’s spiritual maintenance.
And it’s one of the most powerful things you can do to move forward clean.

Things to Be Mindful Of

You are powerful, whether you’ve been using that power intentionally or not.

And that means it’s not too late to cancel what was spoken.
It’s not too late to revise what was written.
It’s not too late to speak life over what you once cursed.

Because sometimes it’s not a lack of opportunity or effort that’s blocking your breakthrough, it’s the echo of your own words, still hanging in the air, waiting to be undone.

So, clear it.
Release it.
Speak something new.
And let the energy that follows you reflect who you’ve actually become.

Pause for a moment and ask yourself:
What words have I spoken in the past that I may still need to release or rewrite?
