Creating a New Identity

The process of identity creation encourages individuals to envision their desired self by selecting a defining word that encapsulates their aspirations. By focusing on words such as ‘assertive,’ ‘productive,’ or ‘confident,’ a new identity can be forged that resonates with positive self-perception. This exercise also incorporates visualizations that engage the senses—sight, hearing, feeling, smell, and taste—allowing for a multi-faceted experience of the chosen identity. For example, by imagining the taste of empowerment as energizing and the smell as invigorating, individuals can make their new identity feel more tangible and real.
