"I am", could possibly be the most powerful words you say to yourself. With these very simple words comes an energy that can transform your future and the present moment in which you live. By saying these simple words you are declaring that what ever follows them is truth. 
How many times have you heard yourself say, "I am a mother", "I am sick" or "I am a successful business person"? Can you see where this is going? Everyday we talk to ourselves and to others and declare to ourselves or others what we are. We have the ability to make these declarations positive or negative. Here are a few examples of each:​

**Positive**
- I am loved
- I am safe
- I am healthy
-  I am beautiful
-  I am wise

__Negative__
- I am sick
- I am lonely
- I am weak
- I am unlovable
- I am fat

It takes a minute to turn the negative self talk into positive self talk, but it can be done. Let's look at the negatives again and spin them toward the positive. 

**You may say...**
"I am sick".  - Instead try, "I am healing".
"I am lonely" - Instead try, "I am ready to receive loving company", or "I am adored and people want to be close to me"
"I am weak" - Instead try, "I am gaining strength", or "I am strong".
"I am unlovable" - Instead try, "I am open and ready to receive love", or "I am loved".
"I am fat" - Instead try, " I am (insert your desired weight here) lbs." (notice I said desired weight, not actual weight)

This is just one way you can get the universe to work to your advantage. You need to declare who and what you are in a positive way. The universe cannot discriminate between positive and negative declarations, so be very careful and be sure that your "I am(s)" are fueled with positive energy. Listen to your self while you talk and take note of when you are using this phrase, I am. Stay connected to the moment and re-state it with a positive connotation. For a true lesson in using the phrase "I am", let me suggest the book *I Am Word* by Paul Selig.

If you really want to manifest your desires quickly, picture what ever it is you are declaring, even if it is currently not in your reality, at the moment. For instance, picture yourself at 130 lbs or what ever weight you think is ideal. Think about how you will feel at that weight as opposed to your current weight. Picture your life with lots of money and how that feels as you are making the, "I am wealthy" declaration. When you use these two things together, your desired manifestations become reality very quickly. 

Don't worry if you don't see an immediate change, give it time. The universe has it's own time line, but know that it has no choice but deliver, to you, what you declare to be your reality. 

Speak kindly to yourself, declare your reality and let your words shape your reality then enjoy the smile that your new and improved life brings to your face and to your soul.
