If you really want to let go of who you think you are, you have to go of your own expectations. Expectations are created through your tradition, your culture and your identification.
How you identify yourself usually determines what kind of conditions you attract. Additionally, who you think you are is not a representation of what you truly are, if what you truly are is in constant evolution.
By you not identifying with your nationality, your race, your religion, you have the ability to reprogram your subconscious mind and because of this you attract new opportunities into your life.
Get rid of the labels
When you give yourself a label, it’s like putting yourself into a box; and once you are into that box it is hard to get out of.
Also, people have expectations of you according to the labels you give yourself and you, by consequence, have expectations of yourself according to what other people expect from you.
In letting go of who you think you are, it’s all about stripping away these labels.
These identities give ourselves a sense of belonging, but at the same time they keep many of us in bondage. Once you realize that you are a free spirit you are going to attract your reflection anyway.
Break the routine
Breaking your routine is powerful. A lot of people have a daily routine which reminds them of who they are, but eventually they get bored. But what happens once we start changing our routine?
We start creating new neural pathways in the brain and this allows us to redefine who we are. Once again, we let go of who we think we are.
