The FlowCode Series – Week 1: Name It

From Me to You

Earlier this year, I felt like I was walking through a fog.

One thing would fall apart… I’d rally. Then something else would blow up.
The pressure kept mounting. Focus got scattered. Confidence started leaking.
And it wasn’t just one big failure, it was death by a thousand distractions.

I wasn’t lazy. I wasn’t unmotivated.
I was just stuck in a loop of mental drift.
And if you’ve ever felt that? Like your wheels are turning but nothing’s really moving. You know how exhausting it is?

So I started working on something. Quietly. I had started UNCAPPED and had sent out a few emails, but this concept of developing a mental operating system to keep me on track started developing in my mind. So, I started doing some research, reading, listening and seeking. It needed to be something memorable that I could default to and loop my mindset back in to a healthy place.

A daily system to get my head back in alignment, fast.
Not just to “get motivated,” but to operate with clarity, conviction, and flow again.

I call it, The FlowCode.
And over the next five weeks, I’m going to walk you through it, one discipline at a time.

This isn’t theory.
This is what I use every morning and every day to reset who I am and how I move.

Why We Start Here?

Step 1 seems simple, but it’s not easy: You have to Name It.

I’m not talking about naming and claiming the money you want in your bank account, the new car, the new job, things you are going after, I’m talking about “IT”, YOUR STORY.

You have to define who you are before the world does it for you.

Here’s why:

Every person carries a self-story.
A mental script that answers the question, “Who am I?”

But for most people, that script isn’t written with truth. It’s written with:

• Failure

• Childhood wounds

• False shame

• Disappointment

• Past labels

And we don’t even realize we’re running those scripts in our head until we catch ourselves saying things like:

• “I’m just not the leadership type.”

• “I’ve never been good with money.”

• “I always start stuff and never follow through.”

What the Research Says

The human brain is wired for identity-based thinking.

Your medial prefrontal cortex is the part of your brain that handles your self-concept, who you believe you are. When you speak and name that identity, you strengthen those neural pathways. You hardwire the beliefs that shape your confidence, decisions, and performance.

This is also where your reticular activating system (RAS) comes in.
Your RAS acts like a filter—it pays attention to what your brain deems important.
When you say “I’m just not good at leadership,” your brain will automatically look for evidence to prove that true.

But when you say, “I’m a builder. I’m a finisher. I’m a leader.”—your brain begins to align your decisions, energy, and posture to match.

Here’s What I Do Every Morning (and when needed)

I sit still. I take a breath.
And I speak identity, my story over myself.

Not to hype myself up.
But to remind my brain—and my soul—what’s true.

Because if I don’t name who I am…
My feelings will try to do it for me.

FlowCode Step 1: NAME IT

1. Write your sentence.
   One line. No fluff. Just truth.
   Examples:

   “I am a resilient leader who builds what matters and honors God with how I lead.”

   “I am a nurturer, a leader, and a protector of purpose in my home. I shape souls, steward hearts, and build the future, one day at a time.”

   “I work with excellence, not just my hands. I provide, I protect, and I represent strength under pressure.”

   “I’m not lost, I’m being formed. I am a learner, a leader-in-training, and a person of purpose even when the path isn’t clear.”

2. Say it out loud—every morning (throughout the day)
   Before the phone. Before the chaos. Before anything else has a chance to define your day.

3. Repeat it for 7 days.
   If you miss one? Start again. This is about rhythm, not perfection. You may even need to make some changes, but make it your true story!

So Why Does This Matter?

Because everything you’re building, your faith, your family, your work, your impact—rests on the foundation of who you believe you are.

And if you don’t name that clearly, the world will name it for you.
Or worse—your past will.

Step 1 isn’t about ego. It’s not about fake confidence or “claiming” something into existence. It’s about speaking truth on purpose, so your mind can stop drifting and start building.

This is how you begin to develop an Uncapped Mindset:
Not by chasing big goals or hacking your habits(that’s coming).
You get there by coming back to who you are, and aligning your thoughts with that truth before the world starts pulling you in every direction.

When you Name It, you set the tone. You reclaim the pen. You lead yourself forward.

Start Here. Then Keep Going.

This is just the first step. But it’s the one every other step is built on.

To help you stay locked in, I put together a simple one-page visual that outlines the entire FlowCode system—the exact five disciplines I run every morning.

Keep it visible. Keep it simple. And run it often.
