This past week in the I AM 84 Challenge was not about perfection. It was about awareness. And that’s what “Take Stock” requires: 👉 Radical honesty 👉 Personal responsibility 👉 Self-awareness without excuses To take stock means: ⚡ Looking at your habits honestly ⚡ Looking at your environment honestly ⚡ Looking at your emotional patterns honestly ⚡ Looking at where you keep abandoning yourself Not with shame, with awareness. The moment you become aware of: 👉 your distractions 👉 your triggers 👉 your inconsistency 👉 your self-sabotage 👉 your patterns …you stop operating on autopilot. But awareness alone is not enough. That’s where “Take Action” comes in. Because insight without action changes nothing. You cannot think your way into transformation. You must move. 👉 One disciplined decision 👉 One completed task 👉 One hard conversation 👉 One healthier response 👉 One promise kept to yourself at a time That’s how identity shifts. And this is what I’m seeing happen inside this challenge. I am no longer waiting to “feel ready.” I am acting anyway. I am proving to myself: 👉 I can follow through. 👉 I can regulate my emotions. 👉 I can stay consistent. 👉 I can become someone different. That is powerful. Because my life does not transform through intention alone. It transforms through repeated proof.

Most people are obsessed with goals. But goals without identity rarely last. Here are 5 reasons identity is more important than goals: 1. Goals give direction. Identity determines behaviour. 2. Goals are temporary. Identity becomes a lifestyle. 3. Goals focus on achievement. Identity focuses on transformation. 4. You can hit a goal and still become the same person again. Identity changes who you are permanently. 5. Your life will always align with the identity you believe about yourself. Goals matter. But identity is what sustains the result. You do not rise to your goals. You fall to your identity. 🔥

My Pattern: Falling into old bad c "comfort" habits /zones the moment I feel unsure about things around me. Trigger: When something out of my control happens. Old Behavior: Overthinking and guilt. My New Response: 👉 Instead of overthinking and shaming myself , I will take a deep breath and decide to take life slow it's not a race.

I have just read @Lindi Harmse post - "Trust the Route". I have been wanting to state the following for quite some time and I guess now is the TIME! I have the utmost gratitude for the support I have received within this community, we all have our own IDENTITY or working towards it. During a session with a client last week (she is also a member of this community), we had a quick wrap-up and discussion about the I AM challenge and both of us admitted that we had days where we did not met up with the daily non-negotiables. The question then came up: AM I failing? Today I want to declare that some days I was not completely successful, but that should not be the barometer of my success. I am still showing up, I am still executing and working towards my new (who I want and will be) identity. During the past 17 days I have learnt more about myself, my endurance, self-discipline and resilience, that I CAN say I have achieved more through the I AM challenge thus far than I thought I would.

I had one of those weeks. Head full. Heart heavy. That low hum of overwhelm that makes you question everything. I shared it with my mentor. And he said something worth holding onto. When you type a destination into your GPS you do not know every turn. You do not know the roadworks. You do not know where you will need to slow down. But the destination is set. And you trust it enough to start driving. Your life works the same way. The destination is set. The work is being done. You do not need to know the route to trust you are on it. We all have off days. They do not mean you are going backwards. They mean you are human. I AM still moving. Even on the hard days. ❣️Anyone else need this reminder today?
