Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations have the most impact when you say, think, and feel them often, to create positive patterns and change in your life. I AM affirmations are a declaration to yourself and to the world of who you are and how you feel. The words that follow I AM create an imprint onto yourself and with repetition, you begin to turn these imprints into beliefs to consciously create your life in a way that most pleases you.
It has been researched and proven that 95% of your life is influenced from your subconscious beliefs.
Repetition and continued practice form subconscious beliefs.
'I AM' affirmations invoke your free will allowing you to call in your affirmation into your prominent experiences and patterns.
It is also proven that people get their subconscious belief programmed in their first seven years, this is why 'I AM' affirmations can be so powerful in the life of a young child.

Choice
Now, we do believe that there are many things in life that we are unable to choose, for example, our height, the colour of our skin ... and so on. However, we do have the ability to choose how we show up each day and we want children to know that they do have a choice on how they feel regardless of their situation.
The more that a child believes that they are brave, love, happy, etc they are more likely to believe this forevermore, and then they will choose these emotions on a regular basis because they believe that they are brave, love, happy, etc.
This is not saying that they will always feel just these elevated emotions consistently because it is an important part of the human experience to have a whole range of emotions to help you navigate what you want and what you don't want. But what you do believe you become so it's important to get the children focusing on things that empower them so they can stop, be present and then make a choice to where they want to go and how they want to feel.
"Whatever you add to I AM you become. Whatever you add to I AM is added to you."
Rev. Ike
