Hey there,
Friend.
Thanks for hitting play today.
In this session,
I'm going to guide you through a practice to help you get clarity around the truer self you're being called to step into.
In this season of your life.
It's a practice I use in my coaching work to help people create an identity statement.
Which is like a short personal I am mantra that declares who you are and puts your truest self,
The identity you want to step into right now,
Into words,
Declaring how you want to live and show up in your life.
This becomes your guide,
A tool you can use to remind yourself who you want to be.
How you want to act,
And what choices you want to make when the day starts,
And really,
In any given moment.
If you're curious about identity statements,
You can learn more about them in my course here on InsideTimer,
The Identity Shifting Morning Practice,
Where we go deep into this work.
So if you're ready,
Let's settle in.
And explore that self that has been calling us to step into.
You can settle into your chair.
And position your body.
In a way that feels most natural to you.
Gently close those eyes.
And take a soft breath.
To slow yourself down.
Feel your body in your chair.
The ground beneath you,
Supporting you.
And just come into presence.
Nothing to do right now.
Let this spend a few minutes.
Reconnecting with yourself.
And bring your awareness to the center of your chest.
To the airier.
In and around your heart.
And just rest your attention there.
Almost like you're.
.
.
Thinking of your heart.
Our heart carries so much wisdom.
We often forget to listen to it.
So just let your breathing and your awareness all settle.
Into your heart.
To begin,
Call to mind the self.
That's been calling you.
The truer version.
That's ready to come forward.
That perhaps has been nudging you for a long time to step into.
Just ask yourself.
What is the truest,
Most alive?
Most honest version of who I am.
What is the greatest expression of myself?
Ask it again.
What is the truest?
Most alive.
Most honest expression of myself.
See that version of you.
Or just sense their presence.
And allow that vision,
That expression,
That aura to come into your awareness.
And hold it gently.
So as you connect with this greater expression of yourself,
Our first step.
Is to get clear about the specific role and identity you want to embody.
As that greater expression of yourself.
To name specifically.
Who this person is.
So quite simply,
Who are you being called to be?
Who is this person,
Ultimately,
In the world?
You might inquire,
What is central to who I am?
What speaks to my truth?
Of I AM.
Don't force the idea or search for words.
Just allow them to emerge.
I am.
I am.
I am.
Simply listen and allow whatever arises to come through.
Now,
Let's go beyond any labels and roles.
And connect with the underlying energy of this expression of yourself.
What is the energetic signature?
Of this identity.
What are the hallmark qualities of such a person?
So with your being this identity,
What are the specific qualities and dominant emotional states you exhibit as this person?
What traits,
Mindsets,
And states of being define you?
And we all want to embody universal emotions like joy and peace.
So I ask you to go deeper.
And look at the energetic states and qualities you yearn for the most.
That target you.
The ones that seem distant at times throughout your life.
Because the signature emotions and qualities that truly align with the identity we're being called into are usually the ones we need to grow in.
The ones we struggle to exhibit consistently.
And that's why we struggle with them.
Because life is nudging us to grow and evolve.
These qualities represent your potential.
So this is about the qualities that matter most to you.
The ones you want to grow in and infuse more fully into your life.
The ones that feel like the fabric of who you are.
Ask yourself,
What does my heart say?
Then take a deep breath into the heart and listen.
Now the final piece of your truer self.
Is about service,
Contribution,
And human connection.
Because after all,
It's no benefit to you,
Others,
And the world if we sit back on our meditation cushions,
Just passively observing.
We must have the intention to take action and engage with the world around us.
So as this identity you're choosing,
The one that's truly embodying the qualities you just named,
What would you do or create in the world from there?
What impact do you have on others and the world around you?
What are the experiences you have by being this person?
Feel this final part of our practice.
Is about the change you yearn to create in the world around you.
What do you want to build or contribute through the way you live?
It can be something big and audacious,
But it could also be about stepping into what you fear or healing some part of yourself.
What is that impact for you?
What change?
You yearn to create.
Again,
Come back to your heart space.
What does my heart say?
What does my heart say?
Take a deep breath into the heart and listen.
Incredible work today,
Friend.
At your own time,
You can start to slowly come back to the room.
Reconnect with the ground beneath you.
Feel your body in space.
And come out of meditation whenever you're ready.
And make sure to grab your journal and write down the insights that came to you and the clarity that might have emerged today.
And I'd love to hear about it.
Feel free to leave a comment on this track to let me know the self that has been calling you.
The one that is ready for you to step into.
