There are no idle words. Your words are powerful. Your words create your reality, so pay attention to them. What are you talking about all the time? Is it positive, is it uplifting? Is it something that you do want to experience? Does it contribute to creating the reality of your dreams?
Your words can harm you or build you up. Your words can create heaven or hell. That’s why affirmations are so powerful. Yes, you can literally speak your reality into existence. However, the words you repeat every day are also affirmations. Your subconscious mind is always listening. If you feed your subconscious with negativity, you will see the results of this disempowering conversation in your reality.
Words are energy, so use them wisely. Talk about the good things, talk about everything you want to experience and accomplish. Talk about happiness. Talk about love. Talk about gratitude. A change in your day to day vocabulary will have a profound impact on your reality.

Implicit tension is that feeling that "something bad might happen" but we're not really sure what. We just know that something is off. Let's look at a few techniques to create tension in a story.
Tension is typically created by a feeling of impending danger. So the first technique to create tension is to put a character next to something that's inherently dangerous. Perhaps they're touring a butchery or a historical torture chamber. Perhaps someone is shaving the character with a knife or someone is twirling a boxcutter. Perhaps the character is witnessing or participating in a dangerous activity such as knife throwing.
We can intensify tension by hinting at lurking danger while also keeping it hidden. Sounds in the dark. Bumps in the night. Objects clearly out of place.
Another technique is to have a character do something forbidden or frowned upon. There's a dramatic irony created here because the audience knows that the character is doing something that other characters don't know they're doing. When two characters are meeting in secret and one says, "You shouldn't be here," there's implicit tension.
Tension can be created when we've previously promised or implied that there will be tension in the future. Let's say a character says, "Billy's gonna beat me up on the first day of school. I just know it." Now there's tension on the first day of school, even when (or especially when) Billy's not visible.
Another technique is to introduce an unpredictable character. When we see someone who threatens to disturb the social peace, we're on edge. Psychopathic characters such as Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men or Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver are quite effective at creating this type of tension.
A final technique is to create a tonal promise of danger. Add eerie music, strange camera angles, moving shadows, dark prose and word choice, etc. This can be combined with a character's emotional reaction such as flushed cheeks or a pounding heart. This will communicate to the audience that something is awry.
