Self-concept is who you are, how you feel, and how you act in the world. It helps shape your daily life and plays a major role in your lived experience. In today's episode, I explain how your self-concept contributes to your overall happiness, how to identify positive and negative self-concept, and dive into my go-to ways to understand how it’s showing up in your life. 

What does your inner-voice sound like? Is it kind or critical? Is it forgiving or harsh? The narrative that you hold about who you are creates how you feel about yourself, and what you're feeling dictates the actions that you take. Just as humans are multidimensional, so is the idea of self-concept. How you perceive your performance in your job is different from how you feel about yourself as a partner, friend, sibling, and so on. 

The key to finding more happiness within your self-concept starts with tuning into that voice and understanding where your beliefs come from. I go through some tools that I find helpful for discovering and dismantling thoughts and beliefs. Listen in to learn more about self-concept and ways that you can start shifting it right now.
