Love this post! Have you ever heard of Tiago Forte's PARA system? I have my system in evernote, and after reading this, I just changed it to PIRA (Projects - Identities - Resources - Archive). Each of my identity notebooks have the identity I want to step into. Also, just wrote this blog post, which includes your thoughts on identity: https://danscreativeoutlet.com/2024/02/12/my-three-identities/
Enjoyed this a lot Cissy. Funnily had a similar experience to yours with ticking off goals - I used to practice yoga 6/7 days a week. Then I finally went to India to do my yoga teachers training as it’s always been a big goal. But since returning from India in 2019 Ive almost completely stopped doing yoga.
Some food for thought to reflect on re where identity comes in there.
Thanks for reading, Renier :) That's fascinating. I went through a similar phase right before the pandemic where I was practicing yoga every day, but realized that I was going mostly for the community and stopped practicing when studios shut down. Pretty amazing what lives unconscious in our motivations to take on goals!
