Intentional Identity Statements with Mitch Matthews

Intentional Identity Statements with Mitch Matthews I’m Mitch Matthews and we're doing a deep dive into something we call Intentional Identity Statements. Listen To The Podcast: Today… it’s just you and me… that’s right. It’s a deep dive… and we’re talking about… Identity Statements. Okay… let’s do this. Identity Statements. We all have them. Most are just not intentional. Identity statements are those statements you say about yourself… the things you believe about yourself. Most of us say them all the time… but we don’t realize it. I’m a worrier. I’m always late. I’m so unorganized. I never win those things. My money always seems to run out before my month does. Ever said… or thought something like that? Well… that’s an identity statement. What’s crazy… is that our beliefs tend to shape how we see the world… right? So… if you believe… and say… “I’m a worrier.” How do you think your subconscious it going to react to that? More importantly… if you’ve said that about yourself for years… which… by the way… I did… so this is why I know it’s true… “I’m a worrier.” “I always worry.” “That’s just who I am. I worry.” Well… if that’s what you believe. If that’s what you say. Your brain… and your heart… are going to stick with it. So… even if you read a book… or go to a workshop… or… commit to making a change about worrying less… unless you deal with your underlying identity statements… you’re never going to have success. That’s why we’re going after this concept… in our year of no fear! I know a LOT of you have responded to challenge I issued in episode 209… declaring this… the year of no fear. We’re going to beat back fear and worry… and make this our best year ever. So we’re digging into this concept! And hey… the upside… is that if you deal with worry… this will help! BUT you can also apply this concept of Identity Statements to other areas of your life… like losing weight and getting in shape… or developing a new skill… or launching a business… or growing wealth… or growing in your faith. Yup… this strategy will help. And by the way… it’s not magic either. I do not believe… and I’m not saying… that as you create your identity statement… that then “poof” a perfect world will all appear in 30 days or less. Nope. Not saying that. BUT… I am saying that it’s incredible to see how this does play out… in regards to what you see… and how you perceive the world… AND your place in it. It can infuse your thoughts with hope… it will help to keep you inspired and motivated… and keep you moving forward. And… if you’re someone where faith plays a role in your life… INTENTIONAL IDENTITY STATEMENTS can have a HUGE impact on your prayer life and your faith walk… but more on that in a bit. So… here’s our road map for this episode. WHAT. HOW. and WHEN. We’re going to dig just a bit deeper on WHAT an Identity Statement is… but more importantly… we’re going to clarify what it might mean to YOU. Then we’re going to talk about HOW to do it… and how to NOT do it. We’ll talk about WHEN to apply it too. Lastly… as a bonus… I’ll add some thoughts on how to do it from a faith-based approach. If that’s your cup of tea… awesome… stick around for it. If not… that’s cool too. You can bail before I get rolling with that part. Don’t forget to head over to mitchmatthews.com/213… and grab the free download to help you apply all that we’re talking about. Mitchmatthews.com/213. So… let’s do this. Okay… a personal identity statement. What is it? It’s interesting. It’s a term I’ve heard more over the past few years… but in some ways it’s still relatively new. How do I know? Well… because there’s not even a wikipedia page for it yet. HA! So… we’re going to define it as a set of beliefs you INTENTIONALLY recognize and repeat in order to shape the way you see yourself and your world.
