Reinvent Your Life Series: Reclaim Your Identity

Feb 25, 2021

Finding our way through change isn’t about adopting a new persona. Rather, it’s about learning to inhabit your true self and stepping into your new chapter, healed and fully whole.

As our former life dies, so do we.

You may be familiar with the term “identity crisis”, which refers to when one’s sense of self is challenged. 

Although the expression has been minimized through mainstream media, the truth is that many of us will experience reincarnations or rebirths of our sense of self throughout our lives. And it’s not bad. It’s not wrong. It’s growth.

Undergoing massive change or trauma can all cause us to question our sense of self-identity. For example: following the loss of a partner, an individual may question who they are without their loved one.  

Once we recognize that we are actually the creators of our self-identity empowers us to embrace the pause between places - so we can dive deep and reclaim our new sense of self.

So how do you find out who you truly are, now? 

It’s not about adopting a new persona and playing a role. Reclaiming your self-identity is about dropping all assumptions about who you were and who you should be now and aligning with your truest self in its divine form.

Listen in to today’s episode of the Reinvent Your Life series to learn:

  • How to feel whole again 
  • How to challenge self-imposed labels on who you are 
  • How to step confidently into your new chapter of life as YOU

 

Although the process of reclaiming your self-identity requires mindful attention, it’s always a worthy pursuit. Because when you are in the expression of your truest self, you begin to live whole; fully healed. 

 

As Ralph Ellison so wisely said, “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.”
