Identity Isn’t Something You Decide — It’s Something You Do

What happens to your sense of self when work stops answering the question “Who am I?” This video isn’t about productivity, hobbies, or finding a new job. It’s about what happens when you stop thinking your way into clarity — and start letting your hands do something real. In this video, I’m doing a simple, practical task — sharpening tools — while talking about something many of us quietly struggle with: identity. For a lot of people, work gives us a role, a place in the world, and a reason to feel useful. When that disappears — through redundancy, retirement, illness, burnout, or time — it’s not just income that’s affected. Something deeper gets shaken. Modern life asks us to think about who we are constantly. We compare ourselves. We narrate ourselves. We describe ourselves more than we actually live. But thinking has limits. And sometimes, it leads us straight into anxiety. Working with your hands offers a different kind of feedback. When something works, you feel it. When it doesn’t, you adjust. There’s no abstraction. No performance. Just an honest response from the world. Over time, something quiet but powerful returns: A grounded sense of usefulness. Not confidence first — confidence after. This video is an invitation to stop trying to figure yourself out — and instead give your hands something real to do. You don’t need a farm. You don’t need land. You don’t need to change your life overnight. You just need resistance. Feedback. And something that responds when you show up with care. If this resonates, you might find something useful in the longer stories we share here about work, identity, mental health, and reconnecting with nature. And if you’re in a place where things feel a bit stuck, you’re not broken. You might just need better feedback.
