Who Are You Really?
So much of our identity is shaped by what we do for other people. Leader. Parent. Partner. Founder. Creator. Caregiver. Teacher. Friend. Provider. These identities may be meaningful, but they are not the entirety of who you are.
Today, create a little space between who you are and the roles you have learned to play. Sit somewhere quiet and take 5 slow breaths. Then ask yourself: Who am I when I am not performing, producing, pleasing or proving? What parts of myself feel most natural? What qualities have always been there beneath the roles? You donā€™t need to come up with a perfect answer. Just notice what arises.
What parts of myself have become buried underneath expectations, responsibilities or other peopleā€™s perceptions of me?
Give yourself 10 minutes today to do something simply because it feels like you. No outcome. No productivity. No justification. Your highest self does not require you to perform your worth. It simply asks you to remember it.
With love,
Koya
