What is Identity, and why does it matter?
Where do we get our identity from anyway? Our parents, society through magazine, tv, movies, etc., from friends, teachers, family, the media? Is it even accurate?
It can be pretty confusing when we are in conflict with our heart, mind and soul. There are SO MANY messages and labels about identity, but are they accurate, true and healthy in order for you for fulfill your younique God-given purpose for love and good works!
Identity & Purpose go hand in hand….when you truly understand, become fully aware of your true God-given identity created in His image, accept your YOUnique and amazing identity you are not fooled by false identifiers, labels and an unhealthy, unproductive focus that would hold you back. Or worse, completely derail and get you off the path you were meant to walk in fulfilling your purpose.
One of the reasons I LOVE our signature coaching program, Identity & Destiny – 7 Steps to a Purpose Filled Life, it’s straightforward approach changed my life. I finally broke through the barrier of FEAR and Self-Doubt. They were major obstacles that I just kept getting stuck in before completing Identity & Destiny. Anyone can do it who is willing to put in the time and discipline of it. Generally, 5 days a week, 15-45 minutes each day, depending on the particular focus of each module.
Basically, 3 parts – Self-Awareness & Acceptance, The Bridge – Overcoming Fears, Blocks, Limiting Beliefs and Lies you’ve believed about yourself, and the Purpose Mosaic.
One really cool aspect of all of this is how positively it can impact the relationships around you as well. When we have a greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves, our true identity & purpose it has a tremendous ripple [...]
GalleryResilience…..another word for Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Resilience is your ability to bounce back in the midst of adversity and overcome the hurdles of life. It measures your aptitude for social and emotional interactions and skills that are critical for life success.
Emotional and relational intelligence (ERQ) is being aware of, recognize and understand our own emotions – taking ownership of our own emotions. As well as those of others around us, and being able to constructively manage our own emotions and how they relate to the relationships around us.
Did you know that ERQ has been found to be more important in the scope of life success than someone’s IQ?
I don’t know about you but that gives me hope. You are born with your IQ, but your ERQ can be improved upon and changed – a skill to build upon. That’s cool!
Self-Awareness (Me) is the first key – Emotional Self-Awareness, Emotional Expression, Accurate Self-Assessment build towards Self-Confidence.
Self-Management (I) is second – Emotional Self Control, Anger Management and Self-Responsible – in other words taking responsibility.
Relational Awareness (Us) is third – Relational Awareness has to do with Empathy towards others. Noticing that someone is in pain. Being present. Knowing what “not” to say. Recognizing emotions in others.
When it comes to Empathy, the secret is listening, not talking. Learning to be a good listener builds your empathy towards others.
Relational Management (We) is fourth – It encompasses 7 simple steps of ERQ empowerment:
#1 – Define the issue: Listen & Seek Understanding (Seek First to Understand before being Understood)
#2 – Decide how important the issue is?
#3 – Do you need to apologize or ask for forgiveness? I was wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me. This isn’t always easy if we haven’t had it [...]
GalleryToday is Monday, March 2nd 2015
…you may ask why I am making a point of it at all. Why is today significant? Is today just another day to you? Or does today, and every day have mean and purpose for you? Do you have a clear sense of your identity or do you not have the foggiest notion about your triune identity & purpose on the planet. The world will try to define and label you and pretty soon you don’t know who in the world you are!Depending on where you are in this life continuum. No matter what your starting point today…you have the same basic human choice to begin today to think of yourself in the same loving way your Creator God, Papa God, sees you. Wonderful. Beautiful. Made in His Image. Creative in your own YOUnique way. Intelligent in your own YOUnique way. Designed in your own YOUnique God-inspired triune way. Don’t let the world label you … Let YOUR Creator God! Peace…
GalleryYoung At Heart – Merry Christmas to all, the heart of Christmas is LOVE!
BEing Young In Heart…having a pure, loving, innocent child-like view of life…is it even possible?
We all as children of God come into this world created in His image pure and innocent…then over time we become influenced by the world around us and lose that childlike innocence.
Is there a point where you can press the reset button?
I think we can…to look at the heart being the seat of our soul – our mind, will and emotions, where choices are made either on a conscious or subconscious level. Those choices are at the core of our conscience.
Remember the love and heart of Christmas – innocence of a child…young at heart, the sparkle and joy of a child on Christmas morning. The freshness of dreaming new dreams!!
Love and blessings to you as you look forward, hopefully in joyful anticipation, of 2015!
If by chance you are not feeling the joy of a new year but dread is more the thought, I’d love to come alongside you in restoring hope.
YOU are YOUniquely designed and created for good stuff! And I’d be honored and privileged to help to discover and more deeply understand that for yourself!
Love and blessings!
GalleryMommy Baby Rescue
Getting the text at 8:15 a.m. “I am at the clinic right now” dropped a lead weight in my gut. Everything in me screamed, “No! Ending the life of your 5 1/2 month old baby in your womb will not solve your problems, it creates new ones!”
We had talked the night before and I shared my story of my abortion trauma experience and the things I so wished I had been told by the abortion clinic – the same one she was sitting in, but 34 years prior.
She didn’t want to go through with the abortion but she hadn’t been given other options either. This appointment was her 5th visit – every time she would walk out of the clinic because in her words, “Why should my baby be punished with a death sentence, he’s done nothing wrong. How could I hurt him like that? I just don’t know what else to do!”
I texted her back to see if we could meet, I will come to you. And would it be ok to bring a friend who is a specialist in open adoptions to at least give her more information about her options. All of them. And also, the known risk factors and aftermath of abortion trauma, especially at 5 1/2 months pregnant. Women Deserve Full Disclosure
I could feel the adrenal rushing through my body as the thought came to my mind, “MommyBabyRescue!” In my mind’s eye I saw an enormous guardian angel standing behind and protecting a pregnant mommy with her hands gently and protectively placed over her burgeoning belly. It was a beautiful picture [...]
GalleryContent – Contented – Contentment
Been thinking a lot about contentment lately. And, interrelated words, including contention, the opposite of contentment.
I implore a greater understanding and mindset of contentment.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22
BE Cheerful. In the midst of any circumstance, as much as is possible.
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
Gratitude and Satisfaction with where you are in the here and now, is the present.
“All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.”
Proverbs 15:15
Abundance flows out of a cheerful heart.
“A heart at peace gives LIFE to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Proverbs 14:30
So please, consider this, above all else, GUARD YOUR HEART. [...]
GalleryGod ISN’T Buddha, or a genie in a bottle, a magician or the fairy god mother…
How much do we beckon God to help and rescue us wanting Him to wave a magic wand or pop out of a genie’s bottle to help us in our time of need?
Don’t get me wrong God wants good for our lives. GOD is a relational and real person of the divine trinity – HOLY SPIRIT – revealer of truth, FATHER GOD, and JESUS CHRIST.
I realize this may be a difficult concept to grasp.
GOD wants a close loving relationship with His CREATION. YOU are His DIVINE CREATION created in His image. (Genesis 1)
His HEART is good towards YOU!
JESUS said the greatest commandment is to LOVE The Lord your God with ALL your heart, mind, soul and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.
YOU as God’s created being have His DNA, we are born that way. In HIS IMAGE!. It is His perfect will for our lives to reflect His image in the world. Walking in communion WITH HIM. Looking to Him, seeking Him for answers, not the world and it’s man made systems, customs and behaviors that have thrown the universe out of sync from the divine intent.
I PRAY for you to grow in deeper understanding so that you can be reconciled to the one who CREATED YOU FOR LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP.
Peace be with you.
You are a human BEing, not a human DOing
Remember You are a human BEing, not a human DOing…so BE more about BEcoming who you were created to BE – not by the worlds standards or labels but by your true divine nature, made in the image of God
Identity ….. I D E N T I T Y ….. a word
Identity ….. I D E N T I T Y ….. a word we take for granted. Yet the bases by which we make life’s decisions are often based on how we see ourselves….our identity!
Your ID lists your name, age, where you’re from, height, weight (oh joy!), eye & hair color. Those are facts people can easily identify you with, but is that who you are?
Your true identity? Those variables can actually be changed or modified in various ways. But what I’m talking about it, your IDENTITY is your natural giftings, your personality type, your core values, your IQ, your EQ (Emotional Quotient – found to be more important for life success than your IQ).
Being aware and operating in your uniquely designed and created self, by our Creator God, is vital. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are vital. Our Loving Creator God created you for LOVE, for good plans and a good purpose! http://ow.ly/i/54z1y
