THE AUTHORITY OF IDENTITY DISCOVERY AND SELF-AWARENESS

It is the season of sharing and love. 

A time to show kindness and generosity to your loved one, spouse or  partner.

Before you go about showing love to others, first give yourself, yes

Love your neighbour as yourself. Matt 22:39

How do you love others when you don\’t love YOU

How do you love you when you don\’t know you

Stay with me!

Have you ever looked at your reflection in the mirror and felt disconnected from the person staring back at you, you’re not alone.

Have you’ve ever asked yourself,

“Who am I, really?”

Or struggled with feelings of unworthiness, confusion, or self-doubt,

I want you to know that you are not broken and you are not your past.

You are simply nudged into your journey of identity discovery and

What you find is the key to unlocking your full potential.

Why Identity Discovery Matters

Your identity is the foundation of everything (I mean everything)

Your choices, your relationships, your confidence, and even your success.

When you don’t truly know who you are, it’s easy to be swayed by others, settle for less than you deserve, and live a life that doesn’t align with your purpose.

For women of African descent (and other descents) who have experienced shame, hurt, and trauma, identity discovery is even more crucial.

Pain has a way of distorting our self-perception, making us believe that we are only as valuable as our past experiences. But the truth is, you are more than what happened to you. You are more than the hurt, more than the labels, more than the opinions of others. You have been called to be a custodian and a trusted steward to raise yourself and others to life.

To heal

To grow and

Step into your power,

you must pursue your self-awareness and continuous mind renewal.

Not sure if you’re struggling with your identity?

Here are some signs that you might be experiencing an identity crisis:

1. You feel lost or directionless unsure about what you want or who you are becoming.
2. You constantly compare yourself to others with your worth tied to how you measure up to other people.
3. You struggle with decision-making second-guessing yourself, afraid of making “wrong” choices.
4. You change yourself to fit in suppressing your true self to please others or avoid rejection.
5. You feel like an imposter you feel like you’re not good enough, no matter what you achieve.
6. You lack confidence in your voice struggling to speak up or assert your opinions because you fear judgment.

Identity struggles often stem from:

• Unresolved trauma: Painful experiences from childhood distorts your mind creating deep-rooted self-doubt.
• Lack of affirmation: Growing up without strong role models like parents or responsible adults or encouragement can make it hard to see your worth.
• Societal pressure: Unrealistic beauty standards, cultural expectations, and social media can distort your self-image.
• Toxic relationships: Being in spaces where you are not valued can make you question your own value.
• Fear of failure: When you define yourself by external success, setbacks can feel like a personal identity crisis.

How to Resolve Identity Crisis

For you to break free from identity struggles, walk boldly in clarity and purpose, here are five powerful steps:

1. Commit to Self-Discovery

You cannot become who you are meant to be if you don’t take time to understand yourself. Self-discovery isn’t about finding a new version of yourself; it’s about uncovering the real you. You need to “Know yourself to grow yourself”- John Maxwell

1. Renew Your Mind Daily

Your thoughts shape your reality. If your mind is filled with negative self-talk, past hurts, or limiting beliefs, you will struggle to see yourself clearly. Intentionally pursue mind renewal with words, songs and people who will build and mold you.

1. Define Your Core Values

Your values act as a compass, guiding your decisions and actions. Identify your core values because when you align with your values, you are able to make  choices and set boundaries that reflect your true self.

1. Surround Yourself with the Right People

Healing and growth happen in the right environment. You need a support system that affirms your identity, speaks words that instruct and elevate you, not one that makes you negatively question your existence.

Your identity is not something you have to prove; it is something you must pursue. 

You are not defined by your past, by people’s opinions, or by society’s expectations. You are defined by the strength, wisdom, and purpose that already exist inside you. 

Love yourself by knowing you 

The more you understand yourself, the more powerful you become.
