Email: How can we find our self-identity? (France)
God, tough one! Think, a deep understanding of the ‘person we are’, in relation to world around (family, lovers, friends). Personality traits, perceptions, knowledge of skills, abilities, values, physical attributes, orientation.
Self identity includes past, present, future selves. ‘Possible selves’ represents our desires, imaginations of what we want to become, what are we afraid of becoming! Our fears, preferences, ambitions, conditioned mindsets, positive/negative beliefs.
Strategies, structures, frameworks to organise, define, balance our existence. Totality of everything that exists (universe, life, society, expectations, traditions, culture).
Our evaluation of self-worth, self-belief. Intellectual, emotional measure of honouring self (self-love, level of sacrifices or powerlessness). Ability to naturally feel positive emotions. Measure of happiness, success, experiences, fulfilment, stability, assurance.
Defines our true selves (authenticity, individuality) – intrinsic inspirations, strength, grit, passion, compassion, wisdom, intuition, creativity, plans, action to core purpose.
Who am I?!! Still trying to figure it out…
