i am decided.

I am SweeChing.
I am woman.
I am brilliant.
I am in.

It all started with an exercise to create a list of "I Am" statements. Requirement is to state everything in the positive and optimistic. The statements serves as an affirmation of who I am, who I want to be, and who I will be.

First line I wrote was: I am woman. I am invincible. I am tired... this has been my "tagline" for the longest time... then I had to cross out the word "tired" because it is a negative... it was automatically replaced with "energetic" (opposite mah).

I am woman. I am invincible. I am energetic. Hmmm...

For the next few weeks, I recited that to myself frequently... but something is still not quite right leh... my heart and my body couldn't gel with that statement (I still feel tired all the time : P)... and even the word "invincible" started to irritate me...

And then the lightbulb lit up, and the words "brilliant" and "in" popped up... out of the blue! Hee! I got the inspiration for word "in" from Patti Digh's book (see http://37days.typepad.com). She suggested that we should live with
- Intensity: Say Yes
- Inclusion: Be Generous
- Integrity: Speak Up
- Intimacy: Love More
- Intuition: Trust Yourself
- Intention: Slow Down

The more I thought of it, the more I like it!

So... this is it!

I am woman. I am brilliant. I am in. : )

(I wonder if I am the only nutcase who spend time pondering over such stuffs???)
