Each day, we speak the words “I am,” and assign a specific characteristic to ourselves. Right off the bat, at the sound of our alarm, we throw our covers off and shout “I’m late”, or greet our appearance in the mirror with a disgruntled “I look awful.” It’s very rare, that these words “I” or “I am” are followed with a positive statement, and what many of us don’t realize, is the way we describe ourselves matters much more than we think.
The reality is, our subconscious mind is always listening, and interpreting these statements, often said in vain, as the very truth of who we are. Whenever time we put ourselves down, we quite literally program our mind to take on that identity. Below I’ve come up with a list of 30 “I am” affirmations to recite each morning, to help combat these negative statements. They may feel awkward, or even untrue, to recite at first but the more you practice, the easier they’ll become to believe.
