A Lesson on “Shifting Your Identity”

What does it really take to change your life? A lot of us have been taught the model Do. Have. Be. What this means is we essentially agree to the idea that once I take action towards my goals, I can acquire what I need, to finally become the version of myself that I desire to be. As all desires are attached to an outcome of a feeling or emotion, something like, "once I get X, I will feel free, confident, proud of myself, deserving, worthy, etc." The frustrating fact is that this formula isn't accurate, thus leading so many down a rabbit hole of efforting, sacrifice, and exhaustion. Once you achieve that goal you thought would 'fix' you, another goal shows up and you are on an endless wheel to nowhere. A more supportive formula is Be. Do. Have. This version is that once we become the version of ourselves on an identity level that we desire to be, we then take inspired action in alignment with that energy, and then receive the desires we have for ourselves, while enjoying the journey along the way! With this 'identity shift' there are some common themes that can stop you in your tracks if they go unobserved, which can hold you back from allowing yourself to become the you that you know you are deep down. In today's episode, I talk more about this process of shifting your identity and call out some of the common challenges that you may face so you can prepare in advance, and then squash them once they show up to try and keep you small. My hope is that after listening you walk away with more confidence that yes, your dreams are not only possible, but that you now have a roadmap for how to get them to become your reality. Enjoy!
