Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

One thing I've noticed my friend, after being a life coach now and being such a self-help, junkie,

is that I've come to understand that human beings dislike and shy away from and get defensive around anything that threatens

their sense of self, right? their identity that has been crafted within their mind.

So I am this type of person, I'm that type of person.

This is what I have, this is what I am. This is who I am. I am spicy. I'm someone who just gets it right. I'm a perfectionist. I'm someone who's really punctual. I'm just throwing some random stuff out here

right like I'm a really protective parent I am I am I am I am

Right we really we forged so many labels for ourselves, some serve us, maybe some serve us less.

And sometimes it's worth exploring doing some self-examination about what follows the words I am in your life.

We actually did this exercise recently in self-coaching society.

It was so wonderful.

We were talking about how what follows I am, follows you. How are you defining yourself, what

are the labels you're giving yourself in big and small ways. But I'd like to offer something here because often we're not even

conscious of some labels that we're holding on to that are perhaps maybe a little

old, maybe they're outdated, maybe they're

they're outdated maybe they were true once but they're not so true anymore maybe in

fact there's nothing to defend and we're we're clinging on to something we're clinging on to some

shadow or some identity that makes us feel safe because it's familiar but but inside, we just, we know that it no longer fits.

So what are those things?

What are those identities that we can release? I think about it this way. Anything at all that

keeps you from expanding, that keeps you from

stretching.
