Expanding on your identity would not be complete. If we did not take a look backwards into your childhood. What it would like you to do is also give a picture of you when you was a child and take a fresh picture of you now and put them side by side. And then the exercise below I'd like for you to answer the questions about your childhood photo and answer the questions about your adult self. Taking a look at the child and in that photo and describing who they were describing and taking a look at within them of what did your parents think about that child? What did that child Lose along the way.
What has that child been neglected from? What this child love? What does the universe need for this child to do? Or to be or to have in this world? And then taking that forward and looking at it from a standpoint of how has this child progressed? What did this child turn out to do be or have?
What is this child good at as an adult? What was the child good at as a child? Would you be proud of this child? Are you proud of yourself? Are you have you overcome like obstacles since that childhood what are some of the obstacles that the child had to overcome? What are some of the worries, the wondering the stress that the child has went through to make you who you are today?
So who are you now compared to what you were at that time? What is him or hers family love about the child and the adult? What is it that you believe in within the gifts and the abilities and the strengths and the weaknesses between the child's growth to now being an adult? And so go through this list of questions, listing out these questions for the childhood that you'll find any exercise, make sure to download it and also for the top. And what I really recommend you do is add those as the look like looking at the progress from the childhood to the adult. Heard of all the things that you wanted to do be and have an A sense of overcoming fears and being able to tap into your gifts and and all the accomplishments that you've come and the overachiever that you are.
But then add this to your letter of the future self. So that from where you are today and this adult self, that you also revisit this exercise in that future self of one year later to the day that you mark and be able to look back at this again, from that perspective. And I mentioned for you looking back, I'm talking about looking back and then further back now, and being able to see the stages of progress of who it is that you have are continually becoming. And so you can see how much you evolved and how much more you will continue to evolve. Because as you go through this process of reinventing yourself. It's a never ending series of cycles within who you are, and seasons of who you are.
You're going through the process of the death and the winter of who you've been the the spring of being the birth of that, the summer being the growth and expansion, and then the fall being the reflection of what you have become. So you can repeat this cycle all over again and bring it full circle full cycle, in this continuing evolution of who you are and what you came here to do.
