Choosing Your Authentic Roles
To help determine your roles, first note all that you know that is true about yourself.
What character traits do you have? What have others complimented you on or said about you, even if you don’t believe them?
If you find you are trying to ‘get it right’ or be perfect, just let that go and pick the best roles you can at this time.
Keep In Mind
Keep these 3 things in mind when you select and place your roles:
Below are the definitions for each 7 Human Role. Open the word list for each role and select the word that best fits your characteristic for that specific role. Continue through all 7 roles until you've selected a word for each role.
Don't worry about getting it right. The best practice is to not over think it, use your intuition, select a word and save it. Your Consultant call at the end of this module will help you apply your word or change it if need be. It is best if you do not leave any role blank without a word. If you're having trouble deciding, choose something with a close fit and your Consultant can help you during your call in lesson 7.
Please allow up to 2 minutes before making your next selection so your word can be populated.
Provider:
Who you are in your career, whether in the workforce or as a stay-at-home parent. As a child, it will show up in the things you are passionate about, and when you play!
Lover:
Who you are when you feel connected and intimate with someone. It encompasses more than just sex. As a child, it will show up in how you display your care and affection for others.
Friend:
Who you are when you have a bond with someone. As a child, you tend to gravitate toward those who have a similar character trait as you in this role.
Son/Daughter:
Who you are with your parents, guardians, and elders. As a child, you could find your parents challenged by this trait within you.
Father/Mother:
Who you are as a parental figure. As a child, you could see this in playing with dolls, taking care of your pets, or interactions with a friend or sibling.
Husband/Wife:
Who you are in your most intimate partnership. As a child, it would be interacting with others significantly close to you, especially your opposite-sex parent.
Man/Woman:
Who you are in the world in general. As a child, it is often your leading character trait.
Your 7 Human Roles
Now that you have identified your characteristic for each role you are going to match them up with one of the 6 Areas of life. By matching your roles to your Areas of life you are starting to put your Blueprint together! Don't worry, the Blueprint is like a puzzle: At times, some things will need to be switched around to make them fit better. This is why you have your Consultant call at the end of each module to help you with that.
We have identified six main Areas of life (ie. Health, Finance, Relationship, Support, Time & Wisdom). Each Area is connected to one of your 7 Human Roles. All Areas will be affected, positively or negatively, depending on their integration with your role in that Area. If a 7 Human Role is imbalanced, that specific Area of your life is going to be affected.
In the last module, Defining Bottom Lines, you connected each of your Bottom Lines to an Area of your life. Your Bottom Lines are what you need for a healthy relationship. When Bottom Lines are not upheld by you or met by another, you will fall into your Hurt, Anger, or Numb, which affects that Area in your life.
In 7 Human Roles, if you fall into jealousy, it will cause an imbalance in your role(s), affecting a particular Area in your life. Don’t get overwhelmed! You will see how these modules create incredible synchronicity to help you in every aspect of your being.
There are 6 Areas of your life and 7 Roles. There will be 1 'leftover' role, and that role will encompass and affect all the other 6 Areas of your life. This Area is called your Core Area. You will learn about your Core Truth in the next module, but for now, think of the Core Area as the basecamp where your alignment begins, and that it affects and influences every other area--so the role you place in the Core Area needs to be a role you can do in every area of your life.
Example Of 'Leftover' Role
You have just placed all of your roles in the 6 areas, and Loyal in your Friend role is the one that is 'leftover.' It would look like this:
"Being Loyal is part of the Core of who I am. Being Loyal in all 6 Areas of my life is important, and if I am not being Loyal, all of the 6 Areas of my life are going to be affected."
During your Consultant Call, you can go over more examples of the 'leftover role.' For now, you can place each role in the area that fits best for you, and the 'leftover' role will go in a new area called the Core Area.
Placing Your Role In Your Area
Let's put it all together. Now that you have your words in your correct roles, you will connect your 7 Human Roles word to one of the 6 Areas of your life, leaving one role left over. Below are the definitions for the Areas again for you to reference.
Income / Expenses to sustain your lifestyle; debt, lower standard of lifestyle
Healthy body and confident image; health issues, low self-esteem
Mutual commitment with family and friends; aversion to commit or overcommitting
Collaboration in your work/school and community; feeling like you are doing it all yourself
Amount of time it takes to accomplish an outcome or goal; on time, have enough time
Ability to discern facts wisely using your natural instincts; difficulty making decisions, self-doubt
Where your spiritual Core Truth resides and balance or lack of balance here affects every other Area
