I got a name tag at some sort of professional development a few years ago. In addition to the name, it had the words "Define yourself" several times. I loved that idea, and was reminded of it last night as a video I watched had a lady mention her goal to reinvent herself.
I think that every thing that we do (or don't do!) defines us to some extent. But I also think that it's valuable to be intentional in how we define ourselves. I just read a blog post by Tara Stiles (I've read her blog off and on, and have one of her books, but am planning to get more into yoga than I have been in the past, as my students this year LOVE and request it!) about tension leading to tense habits. I am so a stress eater. And I've noticed that I eat less when I get enough sleep. (Less tension = less tension habits). So, here's to being intentional about defining myself through liberating, helping practices (like detoxing exercise, and Eating to Live!), instead of adding tension.
