Happy day to you!
I truly believe that how you use language will influence how you feel and what you create. Here's a powerful example:
Say to yourself, "I am not good enough." Notice how this feels.
Now say, " I'm feeling not good enough."
How do they feel different to you?
Most people experience "I am" as being more fixed and permanent, and "I feel" as being more temporary with more possibility for change.
How often are you feeling something negative, yet you use "I am" language and end up feeling like it's a permanent feature of who you are? (Like I am fat, I am slow, I am sad, I am no good at -x-, I am unmotivated, etc.)

But these things don't exist like the color of your eyes. Sometimes you access that feeling, and sometimes you don't. You are creating it each and every time in the moment by feeling a reaction to some story you're telling yourself and are believing is true.
New Possibilities for You!
If your "I am" statements are more positive and make you feel good, then by all means, keep doing it!
If, however, you're making yourself feel bad; please remember to change your language to "I'm feeling..." . (Like I feel fat, I feel slow, I feel sad, I feel like I'm no good at -x-, I feel unmotivated, etc.)
Then remember that it's just a temporary reaction to something you're telling yourself. What story is going on inside your head? If you heard your friend speaking that way, what would you say to them? Would you say, "I know. That's so true! You ARE inadequate! You never do anything right!" Really? How would you help them to see it differently? Try it for yourself!
If you can't seem to come up with a different perspective on your bad-feeling story, imagine someone else's perspective. Who do you know, or know of, that would see you and think about your inner story differently? My personal favorite is to try on the perspective of Source Energy/Spirit/God.
