Creating Your Identity Map

Step 1:

Choose Your Method

There’s no one right way to map your identity. Pick the method that feels natural or exciting to you:

• Mind Map: Start with “My Identity” in the center of a page, then branch out with key values, beliefs, past experiences, strengths, and lessons.

• Timeline: Plot major life events on a visual timeline. Add what you learned or how each shaped who you are.

• Collage or Vision Board: Use photos, magazine clippings, or digital images that reflect your personality, values, and goals.

• Written Summary: Prefer words? Write a paragraph or a page capturing what you’ve discovered about yourself through this process.

No artistic skill required. Just intention.

As you build your map, consider including:

• Your Top 5 Values

• A few Core Beliefs — helpful or limiting

• Key life experiences that shaped you

• Any patterns or behaviors you’re ready to change

• Dreams or goals that reflect who you're becoming

This is your story in symbols, words, or visuals. It’s for you — no one else.

Step 3: Reflect On What You See

Once you’ve completed your map, pause. Take a deep breath and look at what you’ve created.

Ask yourself:

• What surprised me?

• What feels strongest or most central?

• Where do I still feel conflicted — and where do I feel clear?

You don’t need to fix anything. Just notice. You’ve already done something brave.

Your Identity Map isn’t meant to define you forever — it’s meant to anchor you now, in this moment of growth and awareness. You can revisit and revise it anytime.

Step 2:

Integrate What You’ve Learned

Now that you’ve explored your values, beliefs, and life experiences, it’s time to bring them into focus — not as random pieces, but as a connected story. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity. About seeing yourself more fully and honestly than you did before.

You’re going to create your Identity Map — a visual snapshot of who you are right now.
