Someone says / you tell yourself / you believe / it becomes rooted into your subconscious mind.

Right Now
They say - "You are ________ " (right now)
I feel - (right now)
Hold yourself, other people and relationships, in your mind, as being in an state of homeostasis.
IDENTITY
Your subconscious then equates your character, your identity,
even your whole existence to an descriptive word.
Your identity becomes STATIC in that regard
unless you reprogram your mind to reject it as false.
“YOU = Adjective”
fixates thoughts and restricts your identity.
Your self talk is your internal dialogue between your conscious
mind and your subconscious mind.
So now, your subconscious mind connects
that statement to your IDENTITY.
NEGATIVE REMARKS
The subconscious falsely CONVICTS.
ANTS – Automatic Negative Thoughts
FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real
I AM...inferior to you.
POSITIVE REMARKS
The ego automatically puffs up.
PRIDE
I AM… better than you.
STATIC
Using You ARE, I AM…
creates an EQUATION, a sense of STATIC existence.
It is like having a LABEL on your forehead.
It gives a sense that this is unchangeable.
It defines. It boxes you in.
It is a false appraisal of your CHARACTER and your IDENTITY!
