Why Youโre NOT Your Labels!

I know this will be hard for some people to hear. โค๏ธ
Throughout my life I used to tell myself who I believed I was. And in turn it dictated all the actions I would take. Itโs all I ever thought I was, so why try anything different? ๐
One of those labels included: โIntrovertโ. ๐
But eventually I realized what others told me about who I was was in fact limiting me. Not just that, I realized what I was also telling myself about who I was also limiting me! It went both ways! ๐
Why? I was using the labels I embraced as part of myself AS AN EXCUSE, RATHER THAN AN EXPLANATION, to not step outside my comfort zones. ๐ฑ
๐ โIโm an Introvertโฆ(an excuse for why I wonโt speak on a stage).โ
๐ โIโm an Empathโฆ(an excuse for why I wonโt be open to hearing constructive criticism).โ
๐ โIโm a Capricornโฆ(an excuse for why I wonโt commit to a relationship).โ
And Iโll add as a Capricorn, I consider introversion and empathy parts of my own character traits as well! ๐ฒ
Do we each have individual tendencies that come more naturally to us? 100%, Iโm not denying that! ๐ฏ
But what Iโm saying is that regardless of your natural tendencies you donโt have to let these parts always be running the show. You donโt have to let your self-identified labels stop you from trying new things and seeing what other parts of your personality has yet to be developed! ๐
Who knows? You might discover a new part of yourself! โค๏ธ
Maybe you have an inner Extravert thatโs just waiting to be awakened! ๐

Not at all! Far from it! ๐
Filming this video back in 2018 was extremely out of my comfort zone. You wouldnโt know it from watching, but it really was! ๐
My heart was pounding. I hesitated before I was about to film. My mind started to think about how I should film it. I debated on the โperfectโ angle and the โrightโ time. ๐จ
But once I stopped overthinking and just hit the Record button this was the end result! ๐
