OPB Identity Crisis

Starting and running a one-person business (OPB) can at times (okay a lot of the time) have you feeling like you ARE the business. You are not. 

The tendency to think "It's only me, therefore, I am my job. I am my work" is always there. But you aren't.

This is something to this day I still struggle with. It's hard to not take things personally when you are an OPB.

When I start feeling this way, simple actions are usually the best approach to snap me out of it.

• Take a break.
• Go for a walk.
• Stop work for the day.
• Sit for meditation.
• Read for fun.

Any healthy physical, mental, or spiritual step you can take to get out of this headspace...do that. You are more than the thing you do as a job.
