Summary: <br> <br> In today's episode I want to share with you Life Coaching Part 1: Who am I? from my 6-week Life coaching workshop. <br> We can never become who we were meant to be unless we can first recognize who we are. <br> <br> <br> To know thyself is to grow thyself<br> <br> <br> So let’s dive right in. <br> First a little about Who I am.<br> I am a certified Life coach specializing in Mindset and consciousness. In 2012 I wrote my first book “Becoming conscious, my awakening” because I started to understand Who I was. In this episode I will take you through the process of discovering Who you are. <br> <br> If you like this content please share with your friends and remember to rate, review and subscribe to the podcast. Thank you <br> <br> Question #1 What are my deepest and truest values?<br> Your deepest values are the ones no one can move you off of. Your deepest values are the ones that if not met, hurt the most. Your truest values are the ones that make you cry. <br> <br> Your deepest value could be that you would never hit your child. You were abused as a child and you vowed never to hit your child; but you get married and your spouse believes in spanking. He or she believes the bible that says spare the rod and spoil the child. So, your spouse spanks your child. It hurts you so much that you are forced to file for a divorce. Irreconcilable Differences! <br> <br> Another example could be that you were brought up that nice girls do not have sex before marriage. It is a deal breaker in all your relationships. Your dates either leave you or they cheat on you; but you can't bring yourself to have premarital sex. It is one of your deepest and truest values. As a result, you are single and unmarried at 40 years old. <br> <br> Your deepest values could be about how you feel about charity. I never pass someone on the street begging. I feel it is a blessing to have a dollar to give. My husband on the other hand, feels that everybody can find a job, and only the worthless people stand at the corner and beg. That is his deepest value and this is mine. <br> <br> Your deepest value could take the form of image. You may be willing to endure a passionless marriage if it gives you status in your community. There are lots of big houses with white picket fences that house very unhappy families. <br> One of my deepest values was on domestic abuse. My ex-husband slapped me and I divorced him. Simple as that! My value took the form that I would never become a battered woman. I knew that if he hit me once he would hit me again. My daughter was 5 years old at the time. Most women would have a value in giving their children a family with a mom and dad. But mine was more self-centered. Nobody should judge your deepest values. They are yours. You must know them and accept them. They make you who you are. A unique being! <br> <br> <br> <br> Your truest value could be in how you love and receive love. <br> Do you believe that you could only love one person and there is only one true love for you? What happens if you get a divorce or your spouse dies? Does that mean that love is over for you? <br> How do you receive love? <br> I heard a story once about a woman who would ask her husband every day if he loved her. He would say of course I love you honey. Yet she did not believe him and would ask him again the next day. She felt love by how much attention she received from her husband. As her insecurities grew she required more and more attention. The marriage ended in divorce. <br> <br> Your deepest value could be on why you feel you are on this earth, in this body. Do you take the time to consider your purpose and your legacy? <br> <br> Question #2 Ask yourself What are my preferences and priorities?<br> <br> What kind of house would I like to live in. <br> What country would I like to live in if I had a choice.
