5 Tips to Cure Identity Amnesia.
Feb 07, 2022Every day, we are bombarded with lies. Particularly lies we tell ourselves.
We are only able to do our best based on the knowledge we have at the moment. Worry and anxiety reveal what we value and trust. How can we make ourselves more aware? How can we expand our sense of self?
Our #1 tip is do not believe everything you think about yourself.
While this sounds hard, it can be done with the four ways to look inside with courage:
- Get connected to yourself - Unleash the power within
- Discover and maximize your most powerful natural talents with Top 5 CliftonStrengths https://thestrengthsjournal.com/cliftonstrengths-assessment-lander/. Don’t let your unbelief in yourself hold you back. There is only one YOU and God does not create clones.
- You are made for a purpose- let go of what you can’t do and dream big about what you were made to do. Don't do it the way others think you should. Sign up on waiting list for our six-week bootcamp –“Transform Your Life from the Inside Out.” a six-week live coaching bootcamp where you will discover your mission and establish goals. Go deep in your heart and find the blockage – what stands in the way of you accomplishing what you were made to do?

- Your inner hero is waiting for you. Write I am statements claiming innately who you are now.
I am ________ ( your name) a _______(use several adjectives like worthy, empowered, resilient, overcomer) who __________ (describe what you do to serve others). Don’t wait for the hero to come, it’s you. - Learn how to manage your emotions - Daily take a healthy pause - checking in with your emotions when you are experiencing a moment.
- What are you really feeling?
- What are triggers that cause your emotions
- Use will power on yourself. No one else.
4. Avoid criticism - According to author Gay Hendricks in his book The Big Leap, criticizing yourself and others are one in the same, are highly addictive and very popular ways of busting up positive energy. Hendricks recommends you stop criticizing for a day and if it’s easy to do, it’s not an addiction. If it creeps back into your communication unconsciously, it is an addiction.
5. Get a coach – If you want a coach to help you learn and apply your unique talents, sign up for a 15 minute discovery call.
We would love to offer you the accountability, coaching, and support you need to thrive as you design a life you love.
