Human beings have a hard time owning our awesome.  We can see it, admire it, value it, but rarely do we ever want to attach it to ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you to own your awesome, so here\u2019s a simple exercise I hope will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a list of your values.
Make a list of qualities you admire in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lists will be different for each of us, but could look like this:<\/strong>
Nature
Connection
Vitality
Faith
Confidence
Joyful
Independent
Creative
Honest  
Professional  
Trustworthy 
Reliable  
Calm
Effective
Helpful<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned in my earlier post, Who Do You Admire Most?<\/em><\/a>,<\/em>
if you SEE these qualities, you ARE these qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am\u201d statements help us own qualities in a powerful way! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Often we use them against ourselves:
I am broke.
I am depressed.
I am so stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You KNOW this song! Most of us sing it frequently.  Those kind of \u201cI am\u201d statements need to be released because \u201cI am\u201d attaches us and we don\u2019t want to (or need to) own those qualities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at that list of your values, and qualities you admire.  Which ones do you already embody?  \u201cI am organized,\u201d is one I can completely relate to.  Choose  the ones from your list that resonate most, and own them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am honest.
I am professional.
I am trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then cull the list again for ones that you are growing toward, or desire to embody, and own them too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am confidence.
I am amazing.
I am joyful.
I am uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Own your awesome.  Affirm your awesome.  Practice the \u201cI am\u201d statements that feel GOOD to you!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice. Practice. Practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grow on!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What characteristics do you regularly affirm with \u201cI am\u201d statements?
Do you want to own them?
How willing are you to release those?
What qualities do you want to affirm as your own?
How often are you willing to practice owning them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
