Identity Test

Imagine that you were required to move at the drop of a hat. You have 1 month to pack up and move to a completely different environment and no one will know you. The reason for the move is irrelevant at this point. It doesn't matter if you want it or you don't. The point of the exercise is to examine who we think we are, and how maintaining that construct can take up energy that we could use elsewhere.

Who will you be when you get there? How will you introduce yourself? What will you do? Are there things that you count on for your "identity"? What habits define you?  Do you count on your identity as a means of potential income? What if you didn't have that identity? Would you starve?

What would it feel like if you didn't care what people knew about you? Can you imagine feeling a freedom in a totally clean slate?

*"things" means "people, places, and things
