What would it look like to show up in the world as your full and true self? Not hiding who you are, but also not feeling the pressure to perform. In this week's episode, we'll do a simple practice that will help us identify who we are, and who we are NOT. We'll also talk about why that matters when it comes to spiritual growth.

This Week's Practice: Identifying Who You Are, and Who You Are Not

1. On a piece of paper, draw a circle, leaving some space on the outside as well. The circle represents you, who you are. The OUTSIDE of the circle represents NOT you, the things that are outside of who you are (as it relates to personality and how you're wired).
2. As you do this practice, ask God to show you how HE sees you.
3. Inside the circle, write down some words that come to mind when you ask yourself: What is true about me? 
4. Outside the circle, write down some words that answer: What is NOT true about me?
5. Allow this exercise to help you let go of who you think you SHOULD be, and walk in the freedom of who you actually ARE.
