If you haven't yet watched the video you signed up for, you can watch it here. I highly recommend it. :)
So how do you find the "I" if you're having trouble?
Here are Connirae's top 3 tips:
1. Notice where it's not.
Look around the room you're in and find some unlikely location. Ask yourself, "is the 'I' over there?" Probably the answer will be "no" which will help you find the "I" by contrast.
If you know where it isn't, then at some level you know where it is — you just have to look and see.
2. Go with your first instinct.
If something flashes into your mind, just go with that. Usually it will be correct, but sometimes we second guess ourselves and then wonder if it's really there. Just go with your first instinct for now.
3. Just guess.
If you can't find a location, just guess. If you think "I don't know" you might ask yourself "and if I did know, where would it be?"
It's a silly question, but it gets you to guess, and often our guesses are correct. Even if they aren't right, it's not really a problem because we can correct for mistakes later.
So check it out now: where is the "I" that is reading this email?
Curiously yours,
