Writing It Down

tumblr_o59n4oYFq51tdka29o1_1280

Today we are going to revisit yesterday’s list of “I am…” statements. I hope you wrote them down, and if you didn’t take some time right now to revisit yesterday’s post and make a list of at least 5 statements.

As you look over the I am statements from yesterday, take a little bit of time to read each one and think about how does it make you feel to say that?

  • Good? Bad? Happy? Sad? Embarrassed? Ashamed?
  • Maybe it just feels true… and neither good nor bad.

Today, I want us to take a look at the statement that we like the least. The one that makes us feel the worst when we think it. It might even be something that you wouldn’t even be comfortable saying out loud. Take that statement and write it in big bold letters on a new page of your notebook.

  • Are you avoiding it?
  • Hiding from it?
  • Fighting with it?
  • Overwhelmed by it?
  • At a loss as to what to do about it?
  • All of the above?
  • None of the above?
  • Something else is going on with it?

While you are contemplating this statement about yourself, make a circle around it. Any kind of a circle, a big fat circle, a raggedy jaggedy circle, a complicated spiral, a simple bubble… doesn’t matter. Just make a circle around your statement.

Once your circle is complete, on the OUTSIDE of that circle, write, draw, or doodle whatever it is that you’d like to do to it. Maybe you want to decorate it… maybe you want to poke holes in it… maybe you want to yell at it… drop bombs on it…  You’ll know when you’re done.

Now, underneath what you’ve just done, write (and finish) the following sentences.

  • I am … AND …
  • I am … BUT …
  • I am … BECAUSE …
  • I am … and that’s OK because …
  • I am … and that’s NOT OK because …
  • I am NOT … when …

The intention here is to begin to think about our deeper motivations, to begin to pay attention to ourselves, to take a look behind the scenes and really get clear about our perceived faults and flaws. Sometimes a fault or flaw is also a survival mechanism. Sometimes our “shit” gets us what we want, it might be attention, or comfort, or a way to control our environment or the people around us. Sometimes we use cruel words to force ourselves into action.

If this exercise gives you an insight into yourself, your behavior, your patterns… or anything else in your life. I’d love to hear about it.
