Tying our habits to our identity for intrinsic motivation *

Tying our habits to our identity can spark intrinsic motivation. It's shifting our mindset from "I want this" to "I am this".

🧠 Adopting a habit as part of our identity changes the way we view ourselves and our actions. It's not just about what we do but who we are.

πŸ“ˆ When making plans, it's important to think big.

Envisioning ambitious goals and the person you want to become helps set a clear direction.

These aspirations can be a driving force, pushing us to grow and evolve into our ideal selves.

But to make progress towards these grand plans, it's crucial to think small.

πŸ’ͺ Break your goals into manageable tasks and create daily habits that inch you closer to your desired outcome.

These tiny steps accumulate over time, leading to substantial change.

When those tiny steps are tied to our identity, we're no longer just working towards a goal.

We're actively living it. πŸ†

πŸ”— Start by identifying your values and aspirations. Then, connect the habit to those values.

This change in mindset leads to long-term success.

🌱 It's important to remember that forming a habit takes time and patience.

There may be setbacks and obstacles, but each time you practice, you're reinforcing your new identity.

Be kind to yourself during this process and focus on progress, not perfection.

πŸŽ‰ Celebrate and share your successes!

When others see you as the person you're striving to become, it reinforces your self-belief. 🌟
