You may have heard of compound interest but have you experienced compound identity?
The concept of compound identity is that your identity gets compounded with what you think your truth is.
Let’s say for example that you think your truth is that you are not worthy or that you don’t matter. As you gather evidence for your “truth”, the more you believe it to be true. As you gather further evidence, then you believe it to be even more true.
Let’s say you planned to have dinner with a friend and they called to cancel last minute. You could take her for her word and say, she’s sick and let’s reschedule next time. After all, last-minute cancellations happen all the time.
Or, if your truth were that you don’t matter, you would spin the experience to say, well, I knew they would cancel, who would want to have dinner with me? Of course, they cancelled, I’m not important enough to have dinner with…you would use this circumstance to validate your identity that you don’t matter.
Over time, as you stack your experiences of not mattering on top of one another, they compound and become cemented into your identity. Soon, you believe your identity of not being enough to be true.
Now, have you ever experienced changing your mind about something?
Perhaps you started a relationship with someone and thought that they were amazing and that they were the one and then it turned out they weren’t and you found yourself saying, what was I thinking? Or, you used to hate eating broccoli as a child and now you love it as a adult.
Whatever the case may be, I’m sure you’ve changed your mind about something in your life.
When you do that, you start to cement a new identity into your nervous system.
What if, you chose a new identity that you matter? When you find proof of that, you will believe it. When you believe it, you will find more proof of it. Then, one day, it will become your truth.
