Identity change is where it’s at in self-development.

We’ve seen it touted throughout modern personal growth. Every teacher, author, coach, and spiritual guru highlights the power of changing who you are to create real, lasting change in your life.

But how does one shift their identity?

Simply in two parts: decision and choice.

In the context of consciously creating your life, these are not the same.

Decision is born out of your intention. You must first decide who you want to be. If that seems too daunting to answer right now, start by asking who you no longer want to be.

This is the million-dollar question of your life.

But when you answer, do it in the spirit keeping in mind this nuance: life is a game of experimentation. Everything you are currently doing in your life and will do in the future is merely an experiment for you to experience something new and notice how it feels. Make this part of your intention for who you want to be: to shift your mindset to not take life so seriously. Yes, be sincere in all your endeavors but don’t lose sight that you’re playing a game.
