love this — the kind of double edge sword that identity can offer. There’s some identities I hold that help me, but there are plenty that hold me back. Definitely need to be better about feeling more fluid with all of them!
I find this is extremely interlinked with mindfulness practice. You sometimes can't even acknowledge the negative identity self-talk you are clinging to until you actually practice mindfulness... The monkey brain is so automatic it's not even there until you give your brain a second to see it... 😂

Thank you!

Then you can start changing the identity!
Wow, friend, it was like reading my own story. May I repost, adding the Spanish version? This would help a lot of people and my patients too.
Same here - I’m just gonna keep running like Wile E. Coyote until the finish line smacks me with an ACME anvil.
