Educating Enid - Seek your identity

Starting on the Couch to 5K programme, I felt comfortable on that forum. I even repeated the programme after I broke my wrist. I often dip into the Positive Wellbeing forum and others that reflect my health issues. But I (and my inner ego, Enid,) am seeking an identity. Am I now a "runner" from the Bridge to 10k? A retired "college lecturer"? A mum, daughter, wife, friend or all of the above? I feel a stirring and a need to create a new me? Is it that September feeling or do others feel the same?

Lovely to see you and Enid! I understand where you're coming from and often feel the same. Maybe it's a retirement thing - I'm still not sure whether I've retired or if I'm just not working at the moment, especially as a little part time job I got went pear shaped with Covid. Maybe the answer is "all of the above plus". Maybe it's a mini adventure to find out which - maybe it's some, or none of the above. My response would be to take some time to find out, find what you ENJOY, and discard what you don't. Have fun, both of you 😘

Wonderful to hear from you, Wenderwoo. Yes, my part time job went Covid shaped too. So although I am not going back to teaching I don't feel retired yet. But I think you are right. I will try your suggestions and make it the start of a new project. πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»

Thank you, Jerry. That is very supportive. πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I can't say I feel the need to reinvent myself Nilsam, but I completely understand the feeling, and I'd encourage you to explore whom you'd like to be next! πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
