What is an I Am Statement
Positive self-affirmations like “I am” statements can be incredibly powerful tools in inspiring and motivating actions.
When we repeat these statements and focus intently on what they represent, we are able to influence our behaviours, thoughts, and reactions. Achieving realistic goals is the objective and foundation for this process.
The power of positive self-affirmations lies in the fact that they assist us to steadily build our emotional resilience and strength. It allows us to look at challenges in new ways, offering us perspectives that might have been overlooked previously. This can help us to remain optimistic and motivated even when facing hard times. The more positive affirmations we repeat, the better our chances of obtaining our desired end result or outcome.
