Hey there we're back again with a new video
and we're so glad you're here.
Let's start off with a quick question:
How well do you really know yourself?
Have you given it much thought at all?
Being more aware of who you are
not only strengthens your identity,
but can give you a stronger sense of purpose.
We can all easily feel like we're
limited by the things we can't do
or even fall into the comparison trap.
Feeding this mindset limits us from
realizing our potential
and being who we were made to be.
As we celebrate
diversity around the world, we encourage
you to dig
deep and embrace all of who you are
so that you can better celebrate you.
This video is broken down into
4 simple steps, so sit tight and keep watching
Starting off
Look in the mirror and observe what you see.
Now, we know that there are things you'll see
that you may not necessarily like or
want to confront about yourself.
But know this: you are not defined by
what you look like.
There are things so inherently beautiful
and wonderful
about you and we hope this exercise
helps you get a little closer to realizing that.
Here are some prompts for this first exercise:
Next up,
You may feel that there's nothing unique
about who you are
but we believe that people are
complex in their own individual ways.
By identifying your inspirations,
you anchor your sense of self and
understand how you came to be.
What are some meaningful films you've
watched or
shows that have really stood out to you?
What types of music do you enjoy
and who are your favourite musicians or
composers?
Think about books that have changed your perspective
or spark your imagination.
What are some travels that have left you with
stories to tell or places you look
forward to visiting?
As you pen these things down, think about how they've stuck with you over the years
or reasons they matter to you.
When you're done, you'll have a spread of things that
inspire you and tickle your creative spirit.
Another thing to add to your inspiration
board are quotes or sayings that
resonate with you.
What are some words you live by?
It doesn't even have to be anything
too deep or profound.
Maybe it's a simple phrase your mom mentioned when you were a kid,
or a quote you happened to hear over the
radio.
To go along with this, list down the people who have been role models to you.
How have they contributed to the world
or your world?
Think through the leaders, mentors,
teachers,
coaches or friends who have positively
impacted your life.
These are the unique experiences that
have shaped you
into becoming who you are today.
Isn't it wonderful?
Now, for an important step,
Imagine life as a journey—you are sailing the
seas, navigating through rough seas and wind.
What defines every turn you make?
By establishing strong values and beliefs,
you create your own North Star.
One that would help navigate you through
the ups and downs of life.
At the times you feel lost or confused
hold on to your values and beliefs
so that even when you're going through
hardships, bouts of indecisiveness,
conflicting options or difficult decisions,
you have your north star to guide you.
Everything you've gone through,
has moulded you into the person you are today.
Here are some other prompts for you:
In our final step,
Remember those New Year's resolutions?
How about turning them into daily
resolutions instead?
By writing down your larger goals and
breaking them down into smaller
actionable steps, you'd find that these grand New Year's
resolutions are actually very doable.
Go ahead!
List down 3 things to improve, change
or achieve
You can also use the objectives and key
results method.
This is a two-part process where you
start by setting an objective,
like being a better leader. Then you list
down your key results
which represent how you want to get there.
The small steps you take will bring you
a little closer
every day to who you want to be.
We hope this video was helpful and we're
so glad you stuck till the end.
In this video, we used Mossery's Personal Pages
which is a section available in our Planners.
We hope this exercise helped you realize
that you were made unique and you should never compare yourself
or your journey to somebody else's.
