Become the Type of Person Who…
Real change doesn’t come from setting bigger goals.
It comes from shifting your identity.
Instead of saying “I want to write more,”
Say: “I’m a writer.”
That simple shift changes everything.
What Are Identity-Based Habits?
Most people focus on outcomes:
➡️ “I want to lose 10 lbs.”
➡️ “I want to read 20 books.”
But lasting change comes from identity:
✅ “I’m the type of person who eats clean.”
✅ “I’m someone who reads every day.”
You don’t rise to your goals.
You fall to your identity.
How to Build Identity-Based Habits
-
Start with a small win. Want to be a runner? Run for 2 minutes.
-
Repeat it daily. Repetition builds evidence.
-
Stack it with something familiar. “After I brush my teeth, I journal.”
-
Track the identity, not just results. “I showed up today = I’m a writer.”
-
Say it out loud. Reinforce the identity you want to own.
Reinforce Who You Want to Be
Every action is a vote for the person you’re becoming.
You don’t need 100% of the votes — just a majority.
Final Thought
Don’t just chase goals.
Become the kind of person who naturally achieves them.
