Have you ever wondered where the phrases such as "that is so unlike her" "this is totally out of character for her" or even "I am not myself today", come from?
These are very precise and accurate statements pointing to the occurrence of when we are drifting into a past way of feeling or being. When something in the outer world happens we instantaneously match it to a previous experience to give us the meaning (feeling representation) of what we are currently experiencing.
This is wonderful when we are getting ready to eat our favorite food and the familiar wonderful feelings from past experiences flood the body around similar experiences (your grandmother's amazing cookies for example) making your mouth water and you smile at the fond memory.
Where this becomes a problem for many of us is when we find ourselves in circumstances where our brain is comparing the more challenging parts of our history with what is currently going on. Perhaps it's trying to date again after a divorce but...
Hi. My name is Rob. David asked if I would like to share some parts of my journey through the I AM Project. It won't be easy to keep this short simply because of the timing of when I was introduced to the project, and much will be left out for the sake of length.
In the five years before going through the I AM Project, I was separated, divorced, let go from a long-time job, found out about a terminal diagnosis in my second wife, and eventually lost her during the pandemic lockdowns. That was a lot, to say the least. Shortly after that, I reached out to David, who thought that the I Am Project might be a good fit, which, it turns out, was the beginning of some of the most significant changes in my life.

He sat in the chair across from me, head down, not saying much as I tried to reach him. What I knew about him was the past four years were very challenging emotionally, leaving him withdrawn and angry. I knew that he had a three-month-old daughter with an ex-girlfriend he was estranged from. I also knew his family was very supportive but exhausted.
The next few minutes of our discussion were going to be crucial otherwise this would be another dead end for this family, so I posed a simple but powerful question..."I can either work with an addict or I can work with a man and a father, which one do you wish to show up as"?
This simple but powerful question gave us the foundation to achieve in just over three months what the past four years did not accomplish. One of the beautiful things about humans is that we are extraordinarily resilient and highly capable of overcoming incredible adversity.
This young man and father proved to himself that love is the most...
