HI, I AM YOUR FELLOW HUMAN

Meg Ellis

What do you typically say when you are introduced to new people? "Hi, I am [insert name + all your roles and accomplishments.]" All great, yes, but is that really who you are?

One thing about me: I love "I am" statements. They're some of the most powerful words you can ever say, sort of like casting mini magical spells. Be careful what you say after "I am" -- but also be sure not to hide in "I am."

I recently had the opportunity to question my typical "I am" statements that I tend to give upon meeting new friends. (PS: Hi, new friends!) I hope you take a look at where I'm going with this and who I am...and embrace who you are as well.

I am a conscious life coach.

I am the host of the Create Your Fate podcast.

I am an Enneagram 7.

I am a dog mom.

I am a SoulCycle Instructor.

I am a fan of wearing black.

I am a co-host of global wellness retreats.

But that’s not who I am.

I am funny.

I am open-minded and fluid.

I am actively working on becoming more vulnerable.

I am deep.

I am overcoming my fear of confrontation.

I am intuitive.

I am opening myself up to love after death and divorce.

I am remembering I once loved to be romantic and write poems.

And I am continuing to discover more about myself daily. It’s the best thing I've ever done and I encourage you to do it too – one thought, one journal entry, one podcast, one book, one conscious conversation at a time.
