Hey there! On this episode I'm here to help you see how powerful your voice can be! Right now, I'm getting ready for a fun cruise, and I want it to be super relaxing. When we say positive things out loud, it's like we're telling our brains to look for good stuff. Instead of feeling down, we can lift ourselves up with our words.

We can learn a lot from a saying in the Bible, Philippians 4:8. It tells us to focus on the good things about ourselves. We can use positive words to make our dreams come true, no matter where we are in life.

The words we use are really powerful. They don't just affect how we feel now; they also shape our future. I'll show you how saying simple "I am" statements can help you grow and find new passions. I want to invite you to a special call where we can talk about the plan for your future and how I can help you create what you want in your life starting with the sentences you speak to yourself. 

I'm excited to work with you on this journey. If you're interested in using positive self-talk to change your life, visit Kristifalanycoaching.com. We can make a plan together to make your dreams come true.

Kristi:

Hi, I am Kristy Ballard Fellini. I am a certified life coach who found herself at 42, freshly divorced kids off to college, and having never dated in my adult life, I was starting in the middle. If you haven't yet hit, start on your middle time in life, let's do it together. Let the journey begin. Hello there, I hope that you are having an amazing day today. I am just coming off of a vacation. The funny thing about that is that at the time of this recording, I haven't even been on the vacation yet, and so I can't even tell you what the vacation was like. We are actually taking a cruise, and so this is the first time that we've ever been on a cruise, and so what I'm going to tell you is what I am envisioning the cruise will be like, because you're going to be listening to this after I've already been and gone, after I've already been there, done that, and so this is what I am envisioning and what I am speaking into the experience that I want to have. I want this to be the funnest experience that my husband and I have had yet.

Kristi:

We've been on a couple of different adventures together in the six years that we've been married. We've been out of the country. In fact, my first experience out of the country was for our honeymoon, and so we had an excellent time. And we've been on other trips where we have gone to different luxurious resorts, and so this is going to be our first time going on a cruise, and we are going to help celebrate the amazing accomplishment of some friends of ours who, on this trip, are going to be celebrating their 50th anniversary, and so, first and foremost, we are just so grateful that we were even asked to go on this experience with them, that we were asked to go on this adventure with them. This will be their second cruise, and so there's been quite a bit of time in between this cruise and the last cruise that they went on, so I'm sure it's going to be full of new adventure for them as well.

Kristi:

But, specifically for myself, I am speaking into what it is that I want to experience as we go on this vacation, and so what I'm really truly wanting to get out of this is, first and foremost, relaxation. I want to experience relaxation in all of its form. I want to sit on a lounger by the pool and not think about anything. I want to get up every morning and sit out on my balcony and gaze out at the water as I am doing nothing, and I want to be able to eat when I want to eat and drink when I want to drink, and I want to just enjoy and relax, have an open heart, have an open, expansive mind about anything that that day brings to us. All right, so these are the things that I am speaking into this vacation, so I'll have to update you when I come back as to how this went, how this speaking out what it is that I want, how it actually went down and how it occurred. Because, you guys, if these are the types of expectations that we go into different situations, if we have hopeful expectations, our brain is automatically going to look for them. If we continue to speak the hope and speak what we want, our brain is gonna look for the evidence of that, and so I encourage you to get into the practice of intentionally thinking about what you wanna feel, intentionally thinking about and speaking into what it is that you want to get out of the experience, and then allow your brain to find the evidence. Okay, so that is not even what I wanted to talk about, but hey, let's go with it, it came right.

Kristi:

So, in case we have not been formally introduced, I am Christy Fellini and I am a certified life coach, and I help women stop just existing in their lives. I help them to create new things for themselves. I help them to rediscover who it is that they were actually meant to be at this point in their lives. I help them out of the daily, day to day, mundane, stuck rut that they find themselves in at different seasons of life. So, if that is you, you're here in good company.

Kristi:

What I actually do wanna share with you today is I want you to be in awareness of your I am sentences. Your I am sentences okay, because your I am sentences can be a powerful tool, or they can be a powerful weapon. Now, you know you've heard me speak of it before and you know her because she lives in your head too is that mean girl voice who likes to tell you who you are? And so what I wanna talk to you about today is how powerful the things that we say to ourselves actually are, and I want you to start thinking about how you can use your I am sentences to create more power for yourself, how to use your I am sentences to really bring into fruition what it is that you actually want to believe about yourself, because once you start being more aware of those I am sentences, you're going to start realizing how, when you are thinking negative things about yourself, or when you are thinking of things where you feel like you are not capable or you are not worthy, how those sentences work against you and how they truly hold you back from who it is that you are actually meant to be during this season of your life, and so I wanna share with you the power of using your I am sentences to create what it is that you want for yourself, the things that you dream about, the things that you visualize for yourself of abundance, of creation, of joy for yourself in the future.

Kristi:

Okay, and so the scripture that came to mind as I was thinking about this comes from Philippians 4a, and it says and now, brothers and sisters, fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise, and those are things that are true of you too. Okay, not just things in our outer world, but the sentences that you actually say to yourself are all encompassed inside this scripture, because there are things that God has been saying about you that he wants you to believe. Utilizing your I am sentences to really honor and to really start to believe who it is that you truly are meant to be is what is going to help you create a better mindset for yourself. It's going to help you to create more self-discovery. It's going to help you create more abundance and joy that I know that you are seeking in your life.

Kristi:

How do I know that you're seeking this? Because these are the things that I seek for myself and I know how truly alike we actually are. And the reason that I know this is because of the clients that I have inside my coaching program, because there have been so many times when they tell me something about themselves, a circumstance that they have been through certain thought process that they have about themselves, and in my inner being I'm thinking she thinks that too, or she's been through that too. Another piece of evidence is inside the women's group that I do, empowering women's coffee and connections. There are so many times when we get inside a group and we hear someone's stories and automatically we say that totally sounds like what I've been thinking about or that is very similar to something that I have been through myself, and so I know that we, as women, have this sisterhood, we have this way of thinking, and oftentimes it is very similar to the sister you have sitting beside you.

Kristi:

I have been so passionate as of late about your I am statements and my I am statements that I actually included this in my 90 day planner that I have created that I offer to my clients, and the reason that I included this is because there are so many things that we want to believe about ourselves that we have a hard time believing about ourselves. We know that deep down somewhere there is truth to the things that we actually do want to believe about ourselves, and so when we get in the practice of speaking them and reading them and embodying them on a day to day basis, they start to turn from sentences that I don't really believe into sentences of. If I embody this every single day and if I embody this into my daily routine and my daily practice, it is going to become more believable and it is going to become part of your belief system, part of who it is that you you want to believe about yourself. Therefore, as you are thinking about the things that you want to create for yourself in the future, you are actually utilizing the principle of be do have that is going to help you to create the things that you want. And so when you are utilizing daily those I am sentences you are living into, the be part of the be do have principle, you are being that person that believes in herself, that believes in herself worth, that believes that she is capable, and from that space Is where your actions are going to follow. Because when you are utilizing your I am statements for power to create the things that you want for yourself in your life now, in your future, your actions Are naturally going to follow. So when you're coming from a space of believing in yourself, believing your worth, believing your creativity, your actions are going to follow and your brain is going to start to see the evidence of all. This is who I truly am. This is who I am truly meant to be.

Kristi:

So, as I mentioned, I have created for my clients a brand new 90-day planner. Why is it 90 days? Because it is so much easier for me to break my year down into chunks, more manageable pieces, versus me trying to look ahead an entire year and think about what it is that I intended to accomplish at the end of the year, so I like to break it down into smaller portions. I like to break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces and inside my 90-day planner I am writing every day my I am statements. I am creating abundance in my day by writing down things that I am grateful for. I'm also getting a daily dose of scripture and I am staying so super organized because I have my day completely planned out and specifically curated for the things that I want to accomplish in that day.

Kristi:

So this is a tool that I created because I was hearing from my clients that the biggest struggles that they have been having is their feeling of being unorganized and stressed out because they are feeling so unorganized. They were feeling stress within their marriages and they felt like they were having a hard time connecting in the relationships that they truly want to connect with, and so inside my planner there are so many amazing opportunities for you to get all of these things, and so my 90-day planner was created specifically to help women, just like you, just like me, to feel more successful in being more organized, feel more abundance in being grateful for the things that we have in our life and speaking positivity into ourselves through our beliefs about ourselves.
