Our identity is our core understanding of who we are.

It has been shaped by our family, culture and language and our beliefs and values.

Sometimes it is the labels that are given to us by our society.

Examining and understanding what shaped our identity can help us decide what we want to change about ourselves.

This knowledge guides decisions to ensure they are aligned with our authentic selves and goals.

Embracing change and self-discovery allows for personal growth and choices that resonate with an evolving identity, leading to a more fulfilled life journey.

Author's Opinion 1

Book: Happy Mind Happy Life - Dr Rangan Chatterjee 2022

How you identify is incredibly important to happiness.

If we become too strongly attached to our labels, they can leave us feeling fragile and exposed.

If we were to lose them for any reason, we would lose our sense of who we are.

Your personal identity comes from your values.

So what do you truly value in life?

Curiosity, integrity, compassion, family,

creativity, honesty, the climate and the planet,

solitude, nature, wisdom, humility, kindness,

loyalty, self-respect, intimacy, empathy,

time for family and friends,

being a good listener, (and many more…)

*Choose three values. *

Every week, take a moment to assess how you’re doing in becoming that person.

Write your values down somewhere to help you set your intention and help keep you accountable.

This is your first step to happiness. It is crucial because you’re not going to get “there” if you have not first defined where “there” is.

When you assess how you are doing every week, don't be too harsh on yourself.

This is going to be a lifetime journey

Author's Opinion 2

Book: Level Up by Rod Dial 2023

**Identity - Action - Results **

In order for a seed to grow into a flower, it must completely destroy itself. If you want to change, some part of you needs to die.

Your life won't change unless your identity changes.

Handouts: Home Improvement: Men in Relationship Jan 2024

-Separate identities

Before you were in the relationship you each had your own lives and that shouldn’t change.

It’s helpful to have separate interests and maintain your own identity.

And each should feel free to keep developing new talents, interests and friends.
