“Who am I? It’s a lifelong question. It’s not about labels—”I’m a mom,” or “I’m a good employee”, or “I’m a Christian.” Concentrate on moving beyond labels and appearances. It’s, “When I was born, what was the plan for my life?”   Oprah.com

 

1.  Write in your “Who Am I?”  journal every day.  Start with a descriptive word or words about yourself.  The descriptive word or words can make excellent positive affirmations through the day.

2.  Start Concentrating on moving beyond labels and appearances. This will require yourself  to not avoid the question “Who Am I?” and to bring back feelings about your self while you ponder on that question

3.  The “Who Am I?” Journal does not need to be exclusively about your failures, mistakes and missteps. Keep in mind good things about yourself that will balance your answer to the essential question in your journal.
