WHAT IS AN IDENTITY CRISIS? The American Psychological Association defines identity crisis as a phase of life marked by experimentation, changing, conflicting, or newly emerging values, and a lack of commitment to one’s usual roles in society (especially in work and family relationships). THE START OF MY IDENTITY CRISIS After graduating from college, transitioning from student to employee seemed seamless at the time. However, it turns out that I was in for a rude awakening months later. Before I graduated college, I did not have a clear plan on what I wanted to do with my future. After getting my degree, I thought that the world was mine, and I would have no problems finding a job. Boy, was I wrong! After months of trying to find a job in my field of study to no avail, I began to get frustrated as reality began to set in eventually. I looked and looked until I eventually gave up searching with as much enthusiasm as when I started. I ended up settling for a job that I never wanted in the first place. Months turned into years of working at a job I didn’t like, and throughout that time, part of me was concerned about my future, but not enough to take action, not yet anyway. I had times when I was seriously depressed. I wanted to change, but I didn’t know how to start. Then one day, something changed. WHAT IGNITED MY DESIRE TO CHANGE “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.” – Tony Robbins For two and a half years, I stayed comfortable in a job that wasn’t serving me because I was too scared to move beyond my comfort zone. Until one day, the weight of my decisions over the past two years began to catch up to me, and I knew I had to do something, anything. I went from wanting to change to being desperate for change. Why? Because I felt like I was missing out on life. Even though I didn’t have a clear vision for my future after college, I knew I wanted more out of life, and working at the place I was; was never going to give me that. I finally became so uncomfortable with where I was in life that I decided to change my ways. THE JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY BEGINS One of the most significant steps I took to start changing my life was to read. Reading personal development books has been one of the most impactful decisions in my journey of growth and change. The first personal development book I read is Atomic Habits by James Clear. Atomic Habits is such a great book, and I can not recommend this book enough. The first time I read it, I did not yet have the emotional intelligence to truly grasp that the answer to my identity crisis and several other challenges I was facing at the time was in that book. But reflecting on my journey this past year and the book itself, that was for an apparent reason. Change takes time. Growth takes time. FEELING MORE LIKE MYSELF As time went on, I continued to read and learn from personal growth books. The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn more. I was more than curious at this point; I was genuinely interested. I wanted to learn more about personal growth and development. Topics including habits, mindset, productivity, and confidence piqued my curiosity. The more I learned, the more I wanted to write. Developing a reading habit made me miss writing. I wanted to start writing again. I wanted to share my perspective and thoughts on how these topics were helping me change my life, so I did. THE ANSWER TO MY IDENTITY CRISIS Starting a blog was one of the best decisions on my growth journey. This blog has played an integral part in helping me change and challenge myself. Since I was young, I’ve always loved to write. Even though I didn’t have plans for what I wanted to do after college, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in writing. I’ve been telling people that I will start a blog for years. That’s what I originally planned to do while figuring out my next move post-graduation. But it turns out that writing is hard. Without accountability and strong enough reasons, I ended up procrastinating on starting a blog longer than I should have. I had to fall in love with reading again before falling back in love with writing. I started this blog to share my ideas, thoughts, and what I’m learning along the way. But, my reasons for why I write go deeper than that. Writing has helped me process my emotions, learn faster, find my voice, develop emotional intelligence, and build trust and confidence in myself; writing has helped me remember who I am at my very best. WHY DID I HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS? Transitioning from student to just employee was a significant change in my life. For the last 18 years, I have identified as a student. Being a student was such a big part of my identity that when that chapter of my life was over, I didn’t know who I was anymore, nor did I take the time to try and figure out who I wanted to be. One of the most fundamental questions in personal development is, “what kind of person do you want to become?” In Atomic Habits, James Clear states “You can’t get too attached to one version of yourself; progress requires unlearning; becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs and upgrade and expand your identity.” After I graduated, I stopped acting like a student. I stopped learning, growing, and challenging myself. As a result of my poor choices, day by day, decision after decision, I became a less than stellar version of myself. “Our identities
