I don't know who I am outside of my accomplishments. Here's my situation: [describe your achievements, how much of your identity they consume, what you're afraid of without them, and who you'd be]. Map my achievement identity: what percentage of my identity is: my career, my degrees, my accomplishments, my status, my titles? What's left? Identify the attachment: introduce myself - what do I lead with? (Usually credentials/role). Think about myself - what comes to mind? (Usually what I've done). Strip away achievements - who am I? (Terrifying question). Then decode the construction: when did accomplishments become identity? Who taught me I am what I achieve? What happened when I didn't achieve? (Was I still valued? Loved? Seen?). Analyze the fragility: if my identity is achievement-based, what happens when: I fail, I retire, I can't achieve anymore, I achieve everything and realize I'm still empty, or my achievement gets surpassed? My whole identity collapses. Recognize the emptiness: every achievement should add to me but instead it IS me; nothing I achieve fills the void because the void is the absence of self; I'm building a resume, not a person. Identify what I've neglected: hobbies for joy not achievement, relationships beyond networking, values beyond success, traits beyond credentials, and self beyond performance. Create the identity excavation: the achievement removal exercise (who am I without my accomplishments?), the trait identification (beyond what I do, what am I? kind? curious? funny?), the joy audit (what do I like that produces nothing?), the relationship depth (who loves me for me not my achievements?), the value clarification (what matters beyond success?), and the being practice (just existing without producing). Include: who I am when I'm not achieving, what I'm building instead of a self, and whether I want to be impressive or just want to be me.
