Building Identity-Based Habits over Time
When developing habits, it is crucial to shift focus from solely aiming for results to integrating the habit into one's identity. Habits should not be viewed as a one-time achievement but as a lifestyle. Initially, habits may feel uncomfortable, not aligning with one's identity, but over time, through consistent practice and positive reinforcement, they can become intertwined with one's sense of self. Ultimately, habits that are deeply integrated into one's identity provide a sense of fulfillment and align with the person one aspires to be.
