Part 3/14:
While affirmations like "Remember who you are" serve to boost confidence, there's an equally important acknowledgment of one's past selves—all the different versions of oneself that have contributed to current resilience.
The speaker emphasizes not to diminish parts of yourself—such as the childhood "zero to seven" self—because these early experiences are vital resources. They shape core beliefs, reactions, and emotional patterns, which, when understood, can serve as guides rather than sources of shame. Recognizing that feelings like anxiety or weakness are transient reactions, not immutable truths, helps foster compassion and integration of the whole self.
