Our subconscious mind often confuses the difference between how we were treated and who we are. When someone leaves you off an invitation list, we do not just file away the fact that you were not invited. More than likely you wrote an entire story about what that meant…They don't like me…I'm not interesting enough…I'm stupid.
Over time, the circumstance fades but the story endures and starts to feel like a plain truth about who we are.
That is what makes these identities so tricky to tap on. Tapping on “I am stupid” when it feels like a fact is a little like tapping with the aim of changing your eye color.
In this week's episode, I walk through the process I use to pull these stories apart so they become tappable again.
This is a slightly more comprehensive process than what I normally teach on the podcast. It is something to sit with and revisit over several days, because these identities live at our core and tend to take more than one pass to unseat.
It is important work because changing your internal story changes how you carry yourself, not just how you feel in the moment.
