I AM – this is who you are and what you already have in your toolbox to help you get through difficult parts of life.
So, for example, list out five personality traits you have that make you feel good. Eg. ‘I am a good person, I am strong, I am confident’ etc.
I CAN – this describes what you can do to feel more empowered in any given situation. Eg. ‘I can ask for help, I can walk away, I can change my attitude’ etc.
I HAVE – this is a reminder of who or what you have in your life that can help you through this tough period. Eg. ‘I have a trusted adult that I can turn to, I have good friends who care about me, I have a support network, etc.
By remembering and using these three resources on a regular basis, you will feel more resilient and better equipped to deal with any hardship that may come your way in life.
