Outcome change, process change, and identity change
The most effective way to change your habits
To focus not on what you want to acheive but on who you wish to become. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity. The real reason habits matter is not because they can get you better results (although you can), but they can change your beliefs about yourself
