Who are you?
Posted on September 27, 2019 by Lisha Antiqua, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
When asked who you are, how do you answer? Do you list your job or family or are you clear about the value you offer the world?
Have you lost touch with who you are and why you are here?
How do you answer when asked “who are you?”
Commonly, when asked people explain themselves by what they do (mother, businessman/woman, nurse, teacher etc…) or by who we are associated with (Chris’s wife, Sarah’s son).
Yet, all of this can be stripped away in a moment. I recall a client of mine right after she went through a divorce say “Now who am I?” I had another lose his job and have to file bankruptcy, I recall him feeling the sadness and honestly shame of his losses as “losing is identity.”
So, who are you?
This time of year it is important to take a moment and reflect. Affirm that you are so much more than anything that is outside of you. You are so much more than even what normally is used to explain yourself to someone; she is tall, he is short or even ideas like: she believes in Santa, he believes in love at first sight.
Have you heard the saying “you are not your body, you have a body?” Or “You are a soul having a human experience.” This season take a moment to separate yourself from all that is defining you, and connect with yourself.
You are light; you are that which you are.
Know yourself – have peace and take to heart that no matter what happens to you, or around you, you will always be you.
