Identity-based habits

The beliefs you have about yourself can drive your long-term behavior.

  • A change in your outcomes
  • A change in your processes
  • A change in your identity.

The root of behavior change

... and building better habits is your identity.

Each action you perform is driven by the belief that it is possible. So if you change your identity (the type of person that you believe that you are), then it’s easier to change your actions.

Habits and identity

Your habits are how you embody your identity. The more you repeat a behavior, the more you reinforce the identity associated with that behavior.

When you write each day, you embody the identity of a creative person. When you train each day, you embody the identity of an athletic person.
