As a personal development enthusiast, I have always been on the lookout for new techniques to better myself and form positive habits. But despite my efforts, I often found myself falling short of my goals. That was until I discovered the power of ‘I am’ statements in journaling.

Instead of simply writing down my goals, I started writing down my strategy for attaining those goals. I also incorporated “I am” statements, such as “I am the type of person who consistently exercises every day.” This shift in perspective has proved to be incredibly effective for me.

By writing down my strategy and ‘I am’ statements, I was able to focus on the person I wanted to become, rather than just the end result. This helped me to internalize my goals and form a stronger sense of identity around the habits I wanted to adopt.

But it’s not just about the words on the page. The act of physically writing down these affirmations and strategies helped me to process them on a deeper level and bring them to the forefront of my mind. I found that I was more motivated to follow through on my goals because I had taken the time to reflect on who I wanted to be and what actions I needed to take to get there.

What’s more, seeing my progress and reflecting on my journey in my journal gave me a sense of accountability and pride. It was a tangible representation of my progress and a reminder of the person I was becoming.

If you’re looking to form new habits or achieve your goals, I highly recommend giving this journaling technique a try. By focusing on your strategy and ‘I am’ statements, you’ll be able to see yourself as the person you want to become, and you’ll be on your way to making positive changes in your life.

Remember, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. So start writing, and let the power of ‘I am’ statements guide you to becoming the best version of yourself.
