How to Embody Your New Identity and Make it Your Default — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So, let's talk about how to embody the
2. 0:02new identity, your new identity, so
3. 0:05fully that it becomes your default
4. 0:09state. There's a moment in your journey
5. 0:12where the version of you that you've
6. 0:14been trying to become
7. 0:16stops feeling like effort and starts
8. 0:18feeling natural. And that's what we call
9. 0:23embodiment.
10. 0:24And that's where everything changes.
11. 0:28Embodiment is the concrete
12. 0:30representation, expression or physical
13. 0:34manifestation of an abstract idea,
14. 0:36quality or spirit. It refers to the
15. 0:40state of being embodied as an
16. 0:43incarnation or the active process of
17. 0:46living through the body sensations
18. 0:49connecting conscious awareness with
19. 0:52physical experience.
20. 0:54It is often described as
21. 0:56mindfulness for the body.
22. 1:00Welcome back to creative metaphysics.
23. 1:02Today we are going a little deeper into
24. 1:06identity work
25. 1:09because understanding who you want to be
26. 1:11is not enough. You have to become it.
27. 1:15And not just sometimes
28. 1:17but consistently
29. 1:20until it becomes your default.
30. 1:22When we break this open, the first thing
31. 1:24that we realize it it stops feeling like
32. 1:28an act. At first, the new identity feels
33. 1:32like something you're trying.
34. 1:36You have to think about it, remind
35. 1:38yourself, push yourself into it because
36. 1:41it's not familiar yet. And it hasn't
37. 1:44become you. But over time, that changes.
38. 1:51I tell you a story about when it felt
39. 1:53forced for me. There was a time where I
40. 1:56had to remind myself constantly,
41. 1:59show up, speak clearly, move with
42. 2:02confidence. It didn't feel natural. It
43. 2:05didn't It felt like effort. And part of
44. 2:08me thought,
45. 2:10"This isn't really me."
46. 2:12But looking back, it was me. Just not
47. 2:18the version I was used to yet.
48. 2:22Ask yourself, what are you doing right
49. 2:25now that still feels like effort?
50. 2:29And what if that effort
51. 2:32is actually the process of becoming?
52. 2:36You see, repetition creates identity.
53. 2:40You don't become this version of
54. 2:42yourself once. You become it repeatedly
55. 2:46over and over and over again.
56. 2:50One action doesn't change your identity,
57. 2:53but repeated actions,
58. 2:56they
59. 2:58rewrite it.
60. 3:00There's a shift that happens through
61. 3:02repetition. There was a point
62. 3:06where I stopped looking for a big
63. 3:09moment. I stopped waiting to feel ready
64. 3:12like this is it. I now feel ready. And I
65. 3:15just kept showing up again and again and
66. 3:19again. And slowly
67. 3:24something changed. It got easier,
68. 3:27more natural,
69. 3:30less forced. And that's when I realized
70. 3:32that it wasn't about doing it perfectly.
71. 3:37It was about doing it consistently.
72. 3:40Be honest. Are you waiting for it to
73. 3:43feel natural before you keep going
74. 3:48or are you willing to repeat it until it
75. 3:52becomes natural?
76. 3:55You see your body has to believe it.
77. 4:00This is deeper than behavior. Your
78. 4:02system has to feel safe. It has to feel
79. 4:06safe being seen. You have to feel safe
80. 4:10expressing yourself.
81. 4:12You have to feel safe
82. 4:16moving forward.
83. 4:17Because if your body doesn't feel safe,
84. 4:22it will pull you back. No matter what
85. 4:24you think, it will pull you back.
86. 4:29I think about when it finally felt calm
87. 4:32for me. There was a moment where I
88. 4:35noticed something shift.
89. 4:39I showed up and I didn't feel the same
90. 4:41tension.
91. 4:43No tightness, no hesitation, just
92. 4:47presence. And that's when I knew
93. 4:51something deeper had changed.
94. 4:53Not just what I was doing,
95. 4:56but how I felt when I was doing it. Ask
96. 4:59yourself, do you feel tense when you
97. 5:01show up or do you feel grounded?
98. 5:06Because that's what tells you where you
99. 5:09are in the process.
100. 5:12And if you're starting to see that this
101. 5:15process is deeper than just action,
102. 5:18this is exactly why I created the
103. 5:20creator's first shift. It helps you
104. 5:23understand the internal patterns that
105. 5:25are shaping your behavior, the beliefs
106. 5:28behind those patterns, and how to start
107. 5:31shifting them in a real practical way.
108. 5:36So, you're not just trying to act
109. 5:38differently. You're actually becoming
110. 5:41different.
111. 5:43The link is in the description.
112. 5:46costs about the same as a cup of coffee.
113. 5:48But the shift it creates in how you show
114. 5:51up daily,
115. 5:54that's what leads to real embodiment.
116. 5:58You see, the real test
117. 6:00happens under pressure. It's easy to act
118. 6:03like a new version of you when things
119. 6:05are calm. But the real question is, who
120. 6:09are you when things feel off?
121. 6:12when you're tired,
122. 6:14when you're stressed,
123. 6:17when you're simply just not sure
124. 6:21because that's when your default shows
125. 6:24up. That's the real you, the default
126. 6:27you, the current you.
127. 6:31Ask yourself,
128. 6:33when pressure hits, who takes over?
129. 6:38Is it the old version of you or is it
130. 6:41the new one?
131. 6:43Is it what you were before or is it what
132. 6:47you're becoming?
133. 6:49And that answer matters.
134. 6:53Got to realize that small moments build
135. 6:56identity. This doesn't happen in one big
136. 6:59moment. It happens in small ones.
137. 7:03Choosing to show up, choosing to move
138. 7:06forward.
139. 7:08Choosing to trust yourself.
140. 7:11Every small decision is a break in your
141. 7:15identity.
142. 7:17Really, really ask yourself, what are
143. 7:21your small moments building, the old
144. 7:24version of you or the new one? And truth
145. 7:29be told, you have to practice until it
146. 7:32becomes you. Here's how it works.
147. 7:36You define the identity. You choose one
148. 7:40trait. You act from it.
149. 7:43You notice when you fall back
150. 7:46and you return.
151. 7:48Every time you return, you strengthen
152. 7:51that new identity.
153. 7:54Ask yourself this. What is one way you
154. 7:58can act today as the version of you that
155. 8:02you're becoming? And then live that.
156. 8:05Remember this. You don't force a new
157. 8:09identity. You practice it until it
158. 8:12becomes natural.
159. 8:15Until it becomes you.
160. 8:19And when it does,
161. 8:21you stop trying. You start being.
162. 8:25That's when your creativity flows.
163. 8:28That's when your confidence stabilizes.
164. 8:32That's when your results follow because
165. 8:36this is no longer something you're
166. 8:37doing. It's who you are. And that's the
167. 8:42shift.
