Be deliberate about how you define your identity.

Values you choose? Great! Especially if they are “verbs” vs “nouns”.

Beliefs you hold? Poor. Beliefs should evolve.

Job you have? Not great. Jobs change. Careers can too.

Oh, and avoid group identities, else you lose individuality. “I’m a progressive” or “I’m a MAGA guy” brings along more baggage than “Raider’s fan” even. These are poor “noun” identities.

“I protect the vulnerable” or “I volunteer for causes I believe in” are more specific and healthier.

Skills you have, and stuff you like to do? Ok. But pick carefully.

Stuff people said while you were young? Dangerous. Even if meant well.

Choose your identity verbs, then do them. You can pick, and you CAN change!
