Identity.
This is an exercise that I did with a my art journal group last night.
We were talking about the identity of the women who lives our dream life as apposed to who we are currently. We looked at who that person is, how she thinks and how her life feels to her.
It was a really valuable exercise in understanding the importance of embodiment.
If you’d like to do this for yourself then keep reading.
Get comfortable, take some calming breaths and then write down your answers in as much detail as you can.
Identity Exercise:
I would like you to take a few minutes to think about your dream life.
WHO are you in that life?
Write down a few points – physically how do you look?
What are you wearing? Do you go to the hairdresser or beautician regularly?
What car do you drive, where do you live?
Then write down HOW she thinks.
Is she confident, self assured, outspoken?
Does she trust her own judgement?
How do other people react ot her?
Now, how does it FEEL to be her?
Is there a feeling of excitement, calm or acceptance when you think of being her?
Is your mind more relaxed, less stressed about everyday life?
Now, that energy, that little spark of excitement, that is the feeling we need to harness to step out of our current identity and into being HER!
You might only want to change a few small things or you might want to change things completely.
The point is, these things are achievable. Maybe not immediately – if your vision was a multi millionaire that is not likely to happen overnight (though not impossible). If you suffer from poor physical or mental health, then your dream might be to wake up pain free and excited to face the day.
You have to take small, consistent steps into that identity.
The women you are now is a product of conditioning, from your parents, beliefs that you have stored up about yourself, money blocks, the circumstances you grew up in. They all keep you safe and unfortunately that can also mean stuck.
Of course there are situations and circumstances we can’t control but we CAN control how we react to them.
By changing your mindset, by practicing gratitude, by journaling – you have to write it to invite remember – these are the first steps to becoming HER.
So gather your affirmations, no matter how outrageous they seem and create your journal page.
Write with passion, write with belief and find your joy in doing it!
