Up-leveling Your Identity to Achieve Extraordinary Goals

September 13, 2022 | Personal Development

Chances are, you are reading this blog because you are searching for your authentic self while on a lifelong journey of healing, transforming, and up-leveling. Congratulations!

You are probably not new to this journey, but as you and I both know, there are new levels of growth, and I bet you are just as addicted to personal growth as the rest of us here are! Many people don’t realize that the secret to up leveling and manifesting a life that blows your mind is to heal and become more of who you really are instead of allowing your past to define you and your current energetic state of being.

We have spent most of our lives being who we think we need to be instead of who we truly are. We are conditioned to do this at a young age and continue doing this throughout life until some of us wake up and realize life does not feel good…something isn’t right. You may feel lost, disconnected, defeated, bored, and unhappy and begin to ask yourself:

  • Is this really it?
  • Is this how I want my life to feel?
  • Is this who I want to be?

Perhaps you started asking yourself:

  • Why am I not reaching my desired level of success?
  • Why am I too scared to show up in my personal power and be as successful as I want to be?
  • Why is it challenging to use my voice and speak my truth?
  • Shouldn’t I be happy with my life by now?

As a high-performance coach, an essential part of my process is helping people release their social programming and transform their identities into powerful, authentic selves. It is from this place success will start to flow to you. You will begin to manifest the things you’ve struggled to bring to fruition. The Universe rewards you when you are in alignment with your higher self.

You can quickly lose your true identity in the busyness of life and in the roles you play. You might link your identity to your career, relationship status, physical appearance, home, money, degrees, reputation, and, ultimately, your level of success. But what happens when none of that or some is simply not working the way you want it to?

Generally, things stop working in your life because it is time to claim more of your personal power and authenticity. Chaos often erupts when it’s time for you to dig deep into your identity, heal parts of yourself, and take a new leap. When it’s time to show up as the real you.

This was the case in my life when I went through a traumatic divorce, filed for bankruptcy, experienced depression and anxiety, and when I hit burnout in my business. Every chaotic event was an invitation from the Universe to meet and embrace new parts of myself.

So, you may ask, where do I start or continue my journey from here? Many clients often tell me, “I’ve already done so much work on myself.” That’s great, but the journey isn’t over until you take your last breath or until you decide that you’re done growing and ready to say goodbye to your full potential. I’m confident that isn’t you, though.

Grab your journal and answer the following questions:

  1. In thinking about my current life, where do I feel I cannot be my authentic self?
  2. Around whom do I feel I must water myself down, suppress my thoughts, and feelings, and play small?
  3. What would I say or do in my life or business if I had no fear?
  4. What part of me have I always felt was bad, wrong, too much, or not good enough?
  5. Have I subconsciously put myself back into the “box” of social norms?
  6. How can I show up more as myself in my work and relationships?

Up-leveling your identity is needed when going bigger in life or business. You can take all the actions and do all the right things, but when you are not aligned with your authentic self, it will be even more challenging. Why not be more of who you are? Why not meet yourself on a deeper level? The world is waiting to meet the new you. Ready?

High-Performance Life and Success Coaching is about coming back home to your authentic, powerful self while achieving your big goals and dreams. Mindset, identity work, high level success habits, and emotional intelligence will help you transcend your current reality faster than you ever thought possible. What are you waiting for?

Crystal Mckenzie

Certified Professional Life Coach

My mission is to wake you up and activate the WILD SOUL in you! When this happens, you’ll discover your true purpose and your biggest dreams, instead of the goals you settled for because they were “realistic.” You’ll discover who you REALLY are. You’ll have the clarity, confidence, and courage to live a life that makes you FEEL ALIVE instead of one that leads to exhaustion and disconnection. Mediocre was never in the cards for you and deep down you know it. I take a “Holistic” approach, meaning, all parts of you and your life are considered and explored because what’s the point of “success” if you’re unhealthy, unhappy, and living inauthentically?
