The Identity Layer
In the identity conversation, you start to worry about what the conversation says about you.
Three core identity-related questions we think about:
- Am I competent?
- Am I a good person?
- Am I worthy of love?
You are more likely to lose balance if there is a gap between what you believe to be true and what you fear to be accurate.
To regain balance:
- Use the 10/10/10 framework. Ask yourself: Will this matter in ten minutes? Ten months? Ten years?
- Get help from a therapist, coach or a friend.
