• Goal: To explain how to shift identity and reinvent oneself.

Key Points

Importance of Identity

• Core Idea: You will never exceed the limits of the person you see yourself as.
• Identity: Determines life success, relationships, financial status, and limits.
• Change: Must change self-perception to change reality.

Two Main Methods to Change Life

1. Habit Formation First:
   • Force new habits (e.g., going to Pilates) until they shift your identity.
   • Consistency over time may lead to identity alignment with habits.
   • Challenge: Can feel hard and struggle.
2. Identity Shift First:
   • Focus: Shift identity first, then habits will align naturally.
   • Example: Saying “I’m not a smoker” instead of “I’m trying not to smoke.”
   • Reference: James Clear’s “Atomic Habits.”

Steps to Reinvent Yourself

1. Decide Who You Want to Be:
   • Get crystal clear on new identity.
   • Define inner and outer characteristics.
2. Letting Go of the Past:
   • Must release old stories, beliefs, and identities.
   • Death and Rebirth: Can't hold on to the past self while transitioning to new self.
   • Examples: Personal anecdotes, grieving old life parts.
3. Embody the New Identity:
   • Approach: Don’t pretend or fake; embody from the inside out.
   • Reference to actors/actresses: Best embody roles, not just play them.
   • Example: Heath Ledger as Joker.
   • Personal example: Becoming seen as a business owner increased income.
4. Use Big Life Changes:
   • Leverage moments like moving, new jobs, or even rock bottom moments as catalysts for change.
5. Consistency is Key:
   • Consistency in embodying new identity until actions align effortlessly.
   • Maintain this effort consciously at first.

Practical Tips

• Climbing the Ladder:
  • Incremental steps if big jumps feel unbelievable.
  • Example: Moving from “I’m healing” to “I’m healed.”
• Practice in Anonymous Settings:
  • Practice embodying new identity in places where no one knows you.
• Deal with Close Relationships:
  • Communicate your transformation to close ones.
  • Show consistency to gain their support.

Conclusion

• Consistency: Required for solidifying the new identity.
• Loop: Identity shifts -> actions shift -> identity further reinforced.
• Final Tip: Leverage every opportunity for change to solidify new identity.
