Who Am I Worksheet
Outside of busy, your responsibilities and roles, Who Are You? What gives you joy? The Who Am I worksheet prompts you to discover who you really are!
The question, Who Am I, has been lingering on my mind for a while now. At a family gathering a few months ago, my dad expressed how it was a real struggle to find his identity after stepping down as the pastor of a church. For years, he was a pastor. It was who he was. His identity. Then, when he wasn’t a pastor of a church, he had to wrestle with who he was as a person.
We often describe ourselves by what we do and the roles we have acquired throughout life. For instance, I would normally use the following words to describe myself:
- mom
- wife
- blogger
- crafter
- woodworker
- household CFO
But who am I really? As our jobs and roles change, it’s easy to lose our identity.
In the normal busyness of life, it is easy to lose who you are. Your true identity. The person who follows their passion and finds great joy in who you are. It’s time to pump the brakes, slow down for a bit, and rediscover who you really are!
Who Is This Worksheet For?
This worksheet works well for anyone who would like to do a little self discovery. From pre-teens to grandmas and grandpas, we can all benefit from a little self-reflection. You could also add a Who Am I Worksheet to a DIY Care Package for college students. It would go well in any care package but especially in this Stay Strong Care Package.
What Is on The Who Am I Worksheet?
The Who Am I Worksheet prompts you with the following inquiries.
My Name Is
Your name identifies you to others. It’s an important aspect of who you are. It’s what you answer to when called. You more than likely have multiple names, like your given name, nicknames, mom, dad, honey, and many more. List them all!
What I Do
So many times, we identify who we are by what we do. Then, when you no longer have that job or role, you feel like you’ve lost your identity. What you do does not define who you are, but it is a good starting point in self-discovery! List the jobs you’ve held, volunteer work you’ve done, and any other work that identifies you, while you have that job.
Roles I Have
Some roles you are born with, others you acquire over time. List the roles you have. Things like daughter, son, mom, dad, wife, husband, and so many more.
If I Could Do Anything, I Would
If you had no limitations, what would you do? This is your chance to dream a little.
I Am Good At
You may not feel like you’re good at anything, but you are! List the things you are good at, no matter how insignificant they seem. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- staying organized
- being efficient
- crafts
- budgeting
- eating healthy
- working out
Stuff I Could Talk About All Day
What gets you excited? When you’re with a group of friends, what could you talk about for hours on end?
Things That Bring Me Joy
What brings you joy? What makes you happy?
Here are a few things that bring me joy:
- building stuff
- creating
- watching my son perform in his band
- talking to my kids
- catching up with friends
Words Others Use To Describe Me
Other people’s words don’t define who you are, but friends often see characteristics in you that you may not realize you have. Ask those closest to you to give you one word that describes you!
Case in point: I put this graphic on Facebook. I wasn’t sure if anyone would respond, but they did!
Here are some of the words my friends replied with:
- imaginative
- encourager
- organized
- creative
- leader
- loyal
- faithful
- inspiring
- determined
- polymath
- assiduous
- patient (that was my brother-in-law)
- innovative
- Jane of all trades
- woman of God
- friend
A few of the words were used multiple times, and a few I had to get a dictionary to look them up. Then, I used one word to describe each friend. It was a fun way to connect with friends I don’t see often!
I challenge you to ask those closest to you to give you one word that describes you!
I Am
Bring it all together with an I Am elevator pitch of Who You Are, using some of the words you’ve written on this worksheet!
In the blogging world, they say you should have an elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is a short description of what your blog is about, and you should be able to get it all out on an elevator ride with a stranger. Sounds kind of funny, right?
Here’s what I came up with: I am an assiduous polymath (thanks, Mom!), honey to one and mom to two, who loves to create and inspire others to live an organized life full of fun and happiness!
It’s your turn!
I used this with a group of teens I work with, and they responded really well to it! … the prompts are great for provoking discussion. It was also really easy to download and print – I did it half asleep late at night and still had no problems, ha!
