What you do now is a mirror image of the type of person you believe that you are either consciously or subconsciously. To change your behavior for good, you need to start believing new things about yourself. You need to build identity-based habits.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0James Clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDecide the type of person you want to be, and then you prove it to yourself with small wins. And the more small wins, the more small habits that you perform, the more votes that you cast for that identity, the more you build up evidence of being that kind of person. And eventually you start to take pride in that aspect of your identity.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0James Clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhat little habits cast votes for being the kind of person who doesn\u2019t miss workouts? Well, maybe one thing is, rather than doing a 45-minute workout when I only have 10 minutes, I reduce the scope and stick to the schedule and I do a couple sprints, or I do five sets of pushups or whatever it is. And so you find ways to reinforce your desired identity, even if it\u2019s small.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0James Clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you go out and shoot a basketball for five minutes, you don\u2019t think, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m a basketball player.\u2019 But if you do it every day for six months or a year or two years, at some point you cross this invisible line. You\u2019re like, \u2018I guess playing basketball is kind of part of who I am.&#8217;\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0James Clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMost of the time, the desire to belong will overpower the desire to improve. So as best as possible, you\u2019ve got to get those two things aligned and surround yourself with people where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0James Clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou can do a lot with five good minutes. Five good minutes of exercise can reset your mood. Five good minutes of conversation can restore a relationship. Five good minutes of writing can make you feel great about the manuscript again. And so it doesn\u2019t take much to feel good, to get back on the path, to continue to make progress.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0James Clear<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTime will magnify whatever you feed it. If you have good habits, time becomes your ally, and all you need is patience. But if you have bad habits, time becomes your enemy.
