I Am statements are critically important to getting your head right after experiencing emotional pain.

These are about defining your Ethos or Character.

Ethos is greek for Character, but it also speaks to the culture, the guiding beliefs that characterize your community—that is YOU, where you are. If you have children, that means guiding beliefs that characterize your family.

Character is defined as the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. Your distinctive nature.

I Am Statements define WHO you are, not WHAT you do.

Even Jesus had I Am statements. The book of John in the NT is full of them. Seven to be exact.

Taking some time to begin a rough list of what these might be for you and then practice speaking the list to yourself everyday.

The habit of reciting each day will also begin to reinforce boundaries with other people in your world. So if you’re having a bad day and you want to quit, you want to say or do something vindictive or mean or you start speaking badly to yourself, you’ll have your I Am statements as guideposts.

Take some time to begin yours!
