Reframing Identity Beyond Work

Conventional social norms in many cultures equate an individual's identity with their profession, often leading to the common question, 'What do you do?' This connection can foster a skewed perception of self-worth tied solely to career achievements. By shifting the focus to 'What do you like to do?', individuals can explore identities that are not exclusively job-related. This reframing promotes a healthier relationship with work as it acknowledges the multifaceted nature of personal identity, allowing for a broader exploration of interests and passions outside of professional responsibilities.
