Girl's Circle - Empowering Females Series - Who Am I?

In order to effect change, you must first know who you are and what it is you choose to change. Relational aggression and bullying are key factors that most youth deal with and can shape your whole image of yourself if you allow it to. True empowerment comes when you break everything down to the basics, rid yourself of ego and fear, then move forward to create what it is YOU truly care about in this lifetime, instead of what society thinks you should be doing, acting or saying. This rings true for both boys and girls, men and women. I happen to like "hammer and nails and puppy dog tails." I also like "Sugar and spice and everything nice."

One of the best ways to figure out "Who you truly are," is through journaling. Here are a few subjects to get you started, so grab a pen and paper, go to a quiet place where you can be alone with your thoughts. Be totally honest with yourself. Take a few deep breaths and simply write down your thoughts without fear or judgement.

....

Who am I?

We are all different things to different people. Some will see you as a friend, others will see you as your what you do. Others will see you as that random person on the street, etc.

How do you see yourself?

Are you Forgetful? Insightful? Funny? Quiet? Shy? Happy? Sad? Helpful, Detached? In love? Angry? bitter? Religious? Math freak? Poet? Musician? Writer? Gardening genius? etc? Maybe make a list of all your skills and traits. Set your timer for 10 minutes and see how many you can list without pausing to think about it.

What are your strengths and what are your weaknesses?

What are your gifts and talents?

What do you like the most about yourself?

What do you dislike about yourself?

What is your greatest fear in life?

What are your Hopes and Fears?

What holds you back from being truly happy with yourself and your life?

At what stage in your life did you give yourself permission to be less than the person you know you are?
