How To Change Your Life With “I” Statements……
.
Chances are, you’ve likely heard about the importance of using “I” statements instead of “you” statements. For example, instead of saying something like, “You make me angry!” try saying, “I feel angry because we were supposed to talk about our schedule, but instead you made other plans.” See the difference?
.
When it comes to perfecting your “I” statements…..work to be specific and concise. Here are some fill-in-the blank examples for using “I” statements and asking for change:
.
“I feel____________” (share how you feel inside with whoever you’re talking to)
.
“When you_________” (state the specific action this person takes that’s causing you to feel this way)
.
“Can you please________” (share what the frustrated part of you needs in this situation, as in—the corrective action that you’d like to see occur)
.
“and then I/we can________” (state the outcome you’re hoping to achieve as a result)
.
.
Here’s a full example: “I feel upset and disrespected when you take my clothes without asking. Can you please ask me in advance before going into my closet and then we can work on re-establishing trust and respect!”
.
.
Have you ever tried using “I” statements? If so, do you agree with me in that they’re life-changing?!
