Episode 276: Quick Chat: The Power of "I AM" Statements - How to Shift Everything
Welcome to the LYS podcast. Today is a Quick Chat - 1 inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less. We are talking about I AM Statements and being creators. (insert applause reel)
The other day I was listening to Oprah’s Super Soul podcast and her interview with pastor Joel Osteen a pastor from Houston, TX that is a very popular up and coming pastor. It aired on Sept 20 2022 if you want to catch it.
They were talking about how you become what you believe. And, what we believe is what we tell ourselves - so the whole show was about the power of the statement “I AM”
And of course, this is the same thing as…..what story am I telling myself about myself. Today we’re talking about I AM statements, stay tuned and let’s reprogram any mean lingering voices.
People - IT COMES DOWN TO THE SIMPLE THINGS.
My son and I think about the world differently. He tries to unwind the mysteries of the universe. The other day he was incredibly excited because he found a scientific video showing how eternal life could happen scientifically. He showed it to all of us - thrilled to have found something that made sense to him, but it wasn’t striking home for me. I thought about our different approaches to life. As we’ve discussed things over the past year, I’ve realized that complication drives him, but for me when I am trying to learn or comprehend or progress, I love simple. I have found that in my religion, in my way of being, in my growth patterns I love simple tools or simple concepts to focus on..
For example. Instead of looking at the entire doctrinal cannon of my church and feeling frustrated that I’m not good at all of it. I love just working on love. Sometimes I’m good at it and sometimes I’m not, but I know if I get that down or even make progress on it, that it’s one of the things God tells us is most important. And, love really bleeds into everything, forgiveness, healthy self-love, charity, service, etc. So there is plenty to do, but instead of living in overwhelm I work on love.
So, I mention this because the “I AM” statements are such a simple way to realize how you are setting the tone for your life.
It starts when you wake up in the morning.
Start with gratitude - I am grateful for…..there is always something - hot water, a warm bed, health, a good friend, my dog, a great sweater, my kids…… Train yourself. Open your eyes and say thank you or I’ve got this, or I AM confident, I am creative, I am disciplined, I am focused.
What is the difference in the start of your day if you start with:
I’m fat, I’m not attractive, I’m unlucky, I’m a bad parent, I’m not enough, I’m so tired, I’m not worthy….vs. I’m grateful, I’m all over this, I’m excited to see what happens today, I’m making this a great day, I am going to have some great interactions today. I’m getting healthier everyday.
For me - those two create completely different days! Completely different.
Paster Joel say, “Whatever follows “I Am” will come looking for you.” - What do you think of that idea? If you get to choose what chases you down in the world - well, then I’m inspired to put some good things out there because that’s what I want chasing me.
Your life is how you see it - that is a fact. So talk a second and thing about what follows “I AM” for you?
If you want to know where you’ll be in 5 years, stop and pay attention to what follows “I AM” in your own mind….
So let’s talk about how we shift these….
You don’t have to go to the extreme when changing these. Oprah shared an example of a day she was really tired. As she kept saying “I’m so tired” she got more and more tired. Then she caught herself and she knew she couldn’t say “I’m energized” because she wasn’t, but she could say “I’m looking forward to getting my second wind.”
We can’t lie to ourselves, because well….we know we are lying, but we don’t have to go from one extreme to another. Let’s just swap the direction we’re looking - do a 180, and take steps toward the light - toward the more supportive I AM.
When you say “I’m beautiful” you invite a beauty mindset in. It’s not magic, but our words change our self image.
When we spend all day saying, “I am confident, I am focused, I am creative, I’m disciplined, I’m blessed, I’m talented, I’m valuable….that’s doing something on the inside of us.
When we hear ourselves saying that and we begin thinking it, we empower ourselves to shift into much more positive energy. And that positive energy changes everything. Powerful truths here - it not only changes our self perception but it changes what we attract, it changes how we show up in the world. And that dominoes our success our relationships our progress what we attract into our world. Drop the Mic!!
Even when we are in dark spots….instead of focusing on the dark, focus on the sun that’s above the clouds. The sun is still there and I’ll see it again.
I Am Statements - It’s a simple idea - like I said, I like simple. But not only is it simple, it’s true, it’s powerful, and it’s about creating. It’s about you being a creator of your life. God is a creator, you are a creator in training.
I AM statements are the magic words for creating the mindset that creates the energy that creates the YOU.
Thanks for being here today for this quick chat. I challenge you to start paying attention to the I AM statements going on in your mind and shift them one at a time.
Share this episode with one person you love - because we all need to be doing this work. And we’ll see you in two weeks for the next episode of the Love Your Story podcast.
