56 How to define yourself

Please forgive the inferior sound quality, as this was a recorded conference call.

There is an interesting phenomenon occurring when people receive terminal medical diagnoses (accurate or inaccurate) and then some time later, they receive news that they have been healed or their diagnosis was mistaken. Sometimes people in this situation suddenly become depressed because they had defined themselves by their diagnosis and after they are healed, they feel empty, lonely, sad, and anxious because of the lack of attention from others they experience. Even if you have not received a terminal medical diagnosis, you could be defining yourself inaccurately or unhealthily and it could be affecting your daily life.

Take out 4 pieces of paper and write “How do I define (your name)?” at the top of each page. Write exhaustive lists of how you define yourself on each page, one for your life in general and the others for the top 3 areas of your life specifically (finances, health, relationships, work, family, etc.). Make sure you find a quiet, comfortable space where you can take your time and honestly write your lists. Next, think through this question: “If my situation changed, would any of the repercussions of the changes lead to negative emotions?” If you feel like it is a possibility, you need to intentionally and unconsciously reboot your identity by using the Healing Codes to find and fix your problem areas and negative beliefs about yourself. The key is to fix these areas of your life before your identity is tested and you realize that you are not in a good place.
