Have a conversation with the people in your life who you feel are most responsible for many of your I’ms. (Parents, long-time family friends, old teachers, grandparents, etc.) Ask them how they think you got to be the way you are and if you’ve always been that way. Tell them you are determined to change and see if they believe you are capable. You’ll be surprised at their own interpretations and how they feel you can’t be any different, since “You’ve always been that way.”
