Knowing Me
Sometimes, in life we have these ideas of who we want to be or who we are. While these ideas are great, we lose focus because we get so caught up in day to day living that everything becomes a blur.
Who we are messes with everything around us and the lines become extremely blurred. Knowing how to check in to make sure you are identifying as who you want to be and that everything you do is aligned with the best version of yourself is why we work on knowing me.
This first stage of Your Life Purpose Makeover Journey is the foundational stage to the entire journey. During this stage, you immerse yourself in the reintroduction of yourself.
“Why do I need to be reintroduced to myself? I know who I am.”
Yes, you know who you are, but what you identify with is based on someone other than yourself.
When posed with the question of who you are, how easy is it to answer that question? When asked that question, the answer is usually something like I’m a mother, wife, sister, etc. These words describe who you are but do not tell people anything about you as an individual.
I’ve encountered several women, including myself at one time, who have struggled with answering this question, and I felt it was necessary to include this in Your life Purpose Makeover Journey.
Think of how different you would be the next time you were asked this question after
participating in the makeover journey. Your confidence would elevate because you know who you are, what you want, and what you stand for without a shadow of a doubt. You won’t feel the need to guess yourself second and your abilities anymore either.
None of us are to blame for this confusion because life happens, and sometimes self-check-ins get put on the back burner to everything else.
Let’s get back to checking in with ourselves and making sure we are clear on who we are and what we want in and for our lives.
Where You Want To Be
In this first step, we work together to help you figure out exactly where you want to be and how you want your life to look.
“Why do I need to know where I want to be.”
It’s important to know where you want to be because it gives you a destination or a measurable outcome. Sometimes in life, we have a vague idea of where we want to be, but because that vision is unclear, we do everything that will lead us to the outcome we want. Think of it as shiny toy syndrome. When the novelty of the new thing wears off, we move on to the next new thing.
Who wants to keep investing in the next new thing only to not follow through until the end with it?
If you are anything like me, you want to start something, get good at it, finish it, and utilize it to change your life for the better.
Knowing where you want to allows you to have a concrete answer to “where you see yourself.” No matter what you see yourself doing, you can have a clear plan and path for it.
Core Values
In this second step, I help you figure out what your core values are. Core values are essential. These are foundations upon which everything else in life is based.
There are times when our core values do not add to the things we are doing in our lives. These are times where we must examine or reexamine ourselves to make sure we have a clear understanding of our foundations.
I found there are instances where we no longer identify with a value, but we continue to honor it because we grew up keeping it and living by it.
I know no one likes to look deeply into their values or beliefs because they feel too many emotions attached. They may not be ready to deal with those emotions but don’t you think it’s time to deal with the feelings you have been avoiding and begin the healing process to live life how you want without the influence of others.
How do your core values line up with the life you see yourself having? Are the values aligned, or are they out of place? How long have they been out of place?
Belief Systems
In this third step, I help you identify what your beliefs are. The beliefs align with your core values, and where you want to be in life, not the beliefs passed down from generation to generation.
How many times have you carried a belief into your life because your family believed it?
How many times has following that belief left you wanting or desiring more?
When identifying your beliefs, we will determine if your beliefs have helped or hindered your life and the progress you’ve been trying to make.
We work on ways to change those beliefs holding you back and replace them with beliefs and behaviors that will help propel you to a better position in life.
Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine yourself straying from the things you have grown accustomed to but think about how they have kept you from progressing.
It’s time to stop being stuck just because everyone else is stuck. Break those generational curses and start a new path that will power you as well as those who will come behind you.
There are more ways you can get to know yourself, but these are the top ways to makeover your life purpose.
The goal is to grow and become the person we always knew we were supposed to be, and the only way to do that is to make sure our foundation is firm and created the way we want it to be.
