“ Most people focus on the things they want to change about themselves and the actions they want to take, but that can be overwhelming. It’s actually easier to step into a new identity than it is to try to create new habits and behaviors in a vacuum.As you change your identity, your behaviors and habits change, too.”

The Psychological Concept of 'Self-Signaling'
Your body takes cues about your own identity based on your actions. Your mind is always watching what you do and you can change your mind with new behaviors; not the reverse.
Once you act differently, your mind will take notice and it will actually change your self-image.
Default behaviors
They are actions we make without thinking (habits, routines, compulsions). They control more than 40% of our daily actions.
So if we want to change our lives and be more productive, we need to first change our default behaviors.
