Assemble concrete behavioral evidence that contradicts your
Assemble concrete behavioral evidence that contradicts your outdated identity narrative and use that evidence to draft a revised identity statement grounded in data rather than aspiration.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts as separable objects), Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposing gaps), and Human beings construct identity through ongoing narrative (narrative identity construction). It prescribes evidence-based identity updating grounded in Bem's self-perception theory. The principle is actionable (gather behavioral data, draft narrative) and applies to any identity update situation.
