An example of an identity statement is: "I was a worrier, but now I take a breath, choose my thoughts, and make magic happen!"
This statement, as suggested in the reference material, represents a deliberate shift in self-perception. It acknowledges a past identity ("I was a worrier") and contrasts it with a present, more empowered identity ("I take a breath, choose my thoughts, and make magic happen!"). Identity statements are affirmations designed to influence one's self-concept and behavior.
Here's another example: "I used to be afraid of everything, but now I embrace challenges and grow."
These types of statements are often used in personal development to facilitate positive change. They highlight a transformation, using a "bridge statement" like "but now" to transition from an undesirable identity to a desired one.
