This mindfulness snack is really simple. All you have to do is just recite the words, “I am” as you breathe in and breathe out. You can even hold your breath for a few seconds to let the “I am” message sink in. Say this aloud or to yourself.
It’s tempting to fill in a word that describes you, but I encourage not to do that, at least not in this exercise. Focusing on those two little words (I AM) has great power, transcends labels and stereotypes, and enhances the flow of self acceptance, which is a gateway to your creativity. Just focus on just being you. Everyone else is already taken, so you might as well be the magnificent, original, and heartwarming YOU that you’ve become.
