Good morning Powerful You ers!
LET'S TALK ABOUT IDENTITY!
Have you ever thought about why you think, feel and behave the way you do?
There is no one answer to this. It is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, where there are a number of pieces that need to come together to 'answer' the question.
However, one of the biggest 'pieces of the puzzle' is you 'Identity'
Your identity is who you tell yourself you are.
Examples are;
I am....
A leader, parent, business owner, surfer, student, dad, mum, CEO, male, female, musician....and the list goes on.
As a result of giving yourself an identity, you act accordingly. You behave in a way that fits that identity.
You think in ways that match your identity, you dress to fit your identity, you hang out with other similar identities.
Now, being aware of this is powerful!
Why?
Because, if you're identity is who you tell yourself you are, then you have the ability to take on any identity you like!
Unfortunately, a lot of us take on identities of 'not good enough', 'imposters', 'lacking ability'....and as a result, we end up in negative thinking, emotions and behaviours and are ultimately unhappy.
What about if you take on a positive and powerful identity that is actually helping you to achieve what it is that you want?
If you've demonstrated and can see the impact of giving yourself a negative identity (by choice) then perhaps it's time to leverage this ability and to use it for good by taking on a positive, more useful identity!
The moral of the story - you are more powerful than you know and perhaps it time that you started to use this power for good!
We work through shaping your identity in week 1 of 'The Powerful You Coaching Program'. Get in touch if you want to find out more.
