Identity Crisis – Asserting Your Mind Spirit
Most authorities who write about identity tend to make it horribly complex. I guess it helps justify the fees.
First time identity was covered in my NLP Practitioner Course we studied the Dilts model.
I remember being fascinated about how different parts of our “system” were interrelated and could effect change in proportion to how close they are to the centre of the system. Spirit in the center, then going towards the outer edge are Identity, Beliefs/Values, Capability, Behaviour, and finally Environment.
So that’s our system. Who we are really. REALLY? What if we decide differently? That is always our right.
Is identity really just a series of decisions that impress our Mind Spirit (us)? I think it just might be.

For me, it’s not a case of “Who are you really”, it’s a case of “You are – now get on with it!”
I think you’re right about identity being the compound result of decisions – though deciding whose decisions is likely to lead to a nature vs nurture dicussion.

And the best part being we can change our identity when we want to in response to changing circumstances.

I love the quote and I love your thought that maybe identity really is just a series of decisions.

It’s surprising how little control we actually have in our decisions…
They come from so far within… just like you listed out.

Hi Keri. Yes, I believe we are whoever we believe ourselves to be. Identity really is just a series of decisions that become an ingrained habit.
Great post.

that’s a really interesting way to look a things, a sense of self being based on impressing your mind spirit. Identity can be a hard concept to grasp sometimes,
