Reclaiming Your Identity | How has the Global Pandemic affected our Identities & how can we learn to accept who we are now?

Welcome to Reclaiming Your Identity. I’m your host, Joanne Carrighar-Kearns, and I work with people to do exactly this. On this podcast, I’ll share with you how I figured out who I really am, & how I’ve learned my success from the success of others. You’ll learn how to value unpleasant experiences as a place of reference, rather than a place of residence, & how to focus on what you can control, rather than what you can't. Today, I’m going to run through Seven Strategies that were given to me by my own coach that are designed to help you become successful at whatever you are choosing to do. Whatever your aim is, your goal, your wish, you’ll need to be implementing each of these seven things in order for it to work. This week, I’d like you to consider how many, if any, of these seven strategies you can say you’ve been doing & also how much time & effort you’ve been dedicating to them. Those you know you’re good at, can you improve even further? And those you know you need to start doing, do you have a plan for doing them? Tune in and listen to the ninth episode of Reclaiming your Identity. It's time for you to figure out who you really are, instead of who you think you're supposed to be.

You’ll learn how to value unpleasant experiences as a place of reference, rather than a place of residence, & how to focus on what you can control, rather than what you can't. Today, I’m going to discuss three things that we all need to know about in order to be successful at whatever we wish to be. Having a goal and setting out a plan works well, but only if certain procedures are already in place. The thing is, most of us are already wanting to secretly do these things, but we’ve been conditioned NOT to do them. I’d like you to think about these three things, and what they mean to you. How can you make sure you’re in a position to access them?

(13:55) How can I help you more with this & give you some structure to move forwards? (19:45) Let’s connect! FacebookLinkedInEmail
