Step one is to say "I feel sad/angry/upset/powerless" rather than using the old "I am". The "I am" should be rarely used. The "I am" is reserved for those moments when we want to remind ourselves that we are whole, that we have a part of ourselves that touches the fabric of the Limitless and that we can touch this part. The "I am" is not our anger or our sadness. The "I am" is only ever about full connection.

It makes me think about when I was little, and I would run around singing 'I am' (one of my mom's favorite stories about baby Phae) ... nothing else, just that phrase. Perhaps I was having a moment of profound understanding at the tender age of 2! ~_^
Seriously though, I find the thought very beautiful. I wonder how hard it would be to change our thinking from 'I am' to 'I feel' ... perhaps it would make what we 'are' a little more stable.
