    How to Create a New Identity and Why It's Important

    How to Create a New Identity and Why It's Important

    Identity transformation, a fascinating concept that pertains to the process of consciously reshaping one's personal beliefs, habits, and environment for self-development, plays a pivotal role in personal growth. Lance Essihos, an advocate of this intriguing concept, suggests that our identity is sculpted by our everyday habits, actions, and past experiences. With an unwavering belief in the potential for personal metamorphosis, Essihos emphasizes the capacity to alter one's identity by cultivating new habits and taking distinct actions. He underlines the importance of crafting a lucid vision of the individual you aspire to be, aligning your actions with this vision to revolutionize your identity. According to Essihos, confronting discomfort and stretching beyond one's comfort zone are crucial steps in creating a fresh identity, as adherence to old habits can result in stagnation. Ultimately, he inspires individuals to observe and emulate those they admire as an effective strategy to evolve into the person they wish to be.

    Are You Using Social Media or Is Social Media Using You? The Dangers of Social Media and Why I'm Taking a Break from It

    Are You Using Social Media or Is Social Media Using You? The Dangers of Social Media and Why I'm Taking a Break from It

    In the digital age, the concept of a social media detox is growing in popularity as a way to combat the negative effects of constant online presence. Lance Essihos, a firm advocate for this concept, believes that excessive use of social media can lead to a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy. From his perspective, taking regular breaks from social media is essential for mental health and overall well-being, as it allows individuals to reconnect with themselves, reduce stress, and improve their quality of life. This perspective is shaped by Essihos' emphasis on the importance of self-care and mental wellness in our digitally dominated world.

    Alicia Kay is a distinguished professional with a wealth of experience spanning over twenty years in dealing with trauma and psychotherapy. Having undergone an impactful personal transformation herself, Alicia's perspective on trauma and psychotherapy is underpinned by both professional knowledge and personal experience.

Through her own emotional exploration, she was able to understand the root cause of her struggles and transform those experiences into lessons for others.
