I AM is the expressions all about you.
I AM is one of the most important aspect of self-belief. It’s the driving factor in life. The ‘I AM’ decides which road to take. How the journey will be. Which spot to stop to look and admire. Which spot to drive pass and just take a glance. Sometimes just looking at the road and missing the beauty of the journey and drive. The ‘I AM’ determines how fast you go. You pass a detour – ‘I AM’ will decide to navigate the unknown route or just take the safe path. Within comfort zones.
Throughout life you’ve been through conditioning that created a mind-set overflowing with I am nots. As a schoolchild with a less than satisfactory grades, you thought to yourself, I am not smart. You place anywhere other than number one and tell yourself, I am not talented. You get told over & over that you have such great potential for all your projects. Never a word of well done. You feel criticized and believe that I am not good at anything!
You look in the mirror and compare yourself to a glamorous models tell yourself, I am not beautiful. You not asked out to the prom and you think, I am unloved or I am unworthy. These, and many many more like these I am nots, are repeated throughout your developmental years and into adulthood, and become your ingrained core defining self-perception.
Overcoming this I am not attitude begins with trusting your inner world. There are no boundaries restricting your inner world. But your worldview and your self-concept in the outer world are defined by your five senses.
How to get in touch with your I AM ….
- Run through a large list as you can of the things that you would like to define your life.
- Then make the shift in your imagination from ‘I am not or I am hoping to become’ to I am. You want what follows I am to be congruent with your highest self.
- Beginning with your inner dialogue, simply change the words that define your concept of yourself.
Eg. Instead of I am incapable of getting a job, shift to I am capable.
I am unlucky in love is replaced by I am love.
I am unworthy of happiness becomes I am happiness.
