👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Who Are You? Pondering Your Personal Identity

.

Have you ever spent any time thinking about who you really are? Maybe you’ve wondered how other people perceive you. Who you are - your identity - is a powerful force in your life and speaks volumes to others who come into contact with you. 

.

Your identity plays an important role in the decisions you make and the relationships you have.

.

Thinking about who you are will strengthen the connections, among your mind, body, and behaviors. Also, you can get a better handle of where you are in life as well as where you’re headed.

.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Although there are plenty of psychological theories about identity, including its formation and how you maintain it, consider the following as basic elements of your identity:

.

1. Your personal family history. Where you were raised, who you grew up with, and the experiences you had as you matured from an infant all the way through your early adult years are powerful factors affecting the development of your personal identity. 

.

• Consider sayings like, “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl” and their implications. So where you’ve come from plays a major role in who you are.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Are You Resilient?

.

Life is full of ups and downs. When challenging experiences inevitably arise, you’ll want to be ready to rise to the occasion. Your ability to bounce back after a transition or hardship determines whether most of your life is enjoyable and meaningful or troublesome and frustrating. 

.

This idea can be summed up in one word: resilience. The more resilient you are, the quicker you’re able to re-adjust to a situation and move forward in life.

.

Consider these ideas you think about your own resilience:

.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 1. First responses. When something initially begins to trouble you, how do you respond? Maybe you bury your head in the sand and hope it goes away. Perhaps you just ignore the situation and pretend it isn’t happening. 

.

• If you’re resilient, you’ll choose to approach the situation head-on, and promptly. You’ll define the issue, consider your options, and make a plan. You’ll set out right away to resolve the situation before it becomes a full-blown issue.

.

• Promptly employing problem-solving skills will help you avoid a major meltdown.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Even though life can be a fantastic ride, sometimes it can also knock the wind out of your sails. When tough times trigger your insecurities, you can discover an inner strength that will get you through practically anything.

.

Try these ideas to get started:

.

1. Reflect on the tough times you've had before. Ask yourself how you got through it. What did you do? What did you think? What did you tell yourself? Your resilience will become evident as you do this exercise and give you real hope for the future in dealing with other obstacles.

.

• Recognize that you've made it through those difficult situations. Then think about what you're experiencing right now. Is the current situation similar to or much different from your other tough times? Use what you've learned from your past challenges.

.

2. Learn to talk to yourself in positive, encouraging ways. This will help you build up your inner strength. 

.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓

.

• As if speaking to your own best friend, tell yourself what will most help and encourage you. What do you most want to hear? What do you need to hear to help gather your strength? Is there something specific you're hoping will happen? 

.

• Practice providing yourself with encouraging, uplifting messages. The messages you give yourself can be less than helpful or they can propel you through the roughest of circumstances. 

.

• Talking to yourself with respect, care and positivity builds your inner strength so it's there when you need it. When the going gets tough, you'll have yourself to fall back on.

.

Quote: The easiest time to cure an illness is before it is accepted as a part of the self-image.

- Dorothy Jane Roberts was an American author, poet, self-proclaimed psychic, and spirit medium, who claimed to channel an energy personality who called himself "Seth." 

.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Reaching your full potential is dependent on the creation and maintenance of a healthy self-image. It’s not possible to be highly successful if you don’t believe in yourself. The way you view yourself is either uplifting or a hindrance. Regardless of your childhood experiences, past failings, or current level of self-esteem, you can possess a healthy self-image.

.

Avoid underestimating the impact of your self-image on other areas of your life. To reach your full potential, you must respect yourself and believe you can do great things.

.

Add value to yourself, and your self-image will flourish:

.

1. Overcome any limiting beliefs. Think about something you’d like to accomplish, but are unable to do because of a limiting belief. Make a list of how that belief is negatively impacting your life. Now, focus on how much your life would be enhanced if you were able to remove this belief from your life.

.

• Create five affirmations you can repeat to yourself throughout the day. The affirmations should be stated in the positive and address the new belief you’d like to install.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 How to Overcome the Fear of Failure

.

Failure has touched the lives of everyone at some point. Because of this fact, you know how horrible it can make you feel. No wonder you strive to avoid it at all costs!  But the problem is that this fear of failure can become one of your biggest life fears.

.

Fear of failure is a fear of the great unknown. You don't know what's truly out there, and so you're scared. You might even be tempted to give up entirely in order to avoid failure. You'll soon realize that not trying at all is the ultimate failure because there is no way to win without trying.

.

How can you overcome this fear and gain the confidence you need to seek the life you desire?

.

1. Imagine the worst case scenario. Of course, you should spend time imagining everything turning out well, but it actually helps to imagine the worst case as well. This is because, while horrible, imagining the worst case gives your fears a face. Your fears are then no longer the unknown and they may not be quite as scary.



• When you figure out the worst thing that can happen, you just might realize that the most a failure can do is to delay your ultimate goal. But if you can figure out how to get past this possible delay, you're back on track!
