On identity-based habits: the psychology behind your glow-up

Here is a small secret about every glow-up that you ever emphasize in Instagram: it was not the new skin care routine, the matching training sets or the color-code-code planner or even the matcha. The real shift happened in the brain.

Because the psychology behind your glow-up is all about become The kind of person that of course does the things that you deliver. That’s true on identity -based habits Come in.

Why some goals and habits don’t get stuck

Ever tried to revise your entire life in a whim? Wake up at 5 o’clock, drink green algae, meditate, run 5k, diary, reorganize your cupboard, answer all the e -mails by noon?

Three days inside and you are a face down in a costco birthday cake and it is not even your birthday, with nothing done on your task list, what is what willpower you hate. “I should eat better,” “I should launch offers more often”, “I should film more content …”

Stop has to be everywhere in your house. It is not your fault. Habits do not stick when they are built on ‘shoulds’. They get stuck when they are tied to you identity. This is exactly what we are discussing in today’s podcast episode:


What are identity -based habits?

On identity -based habits are the ones you make by deciding who you Are First and your actions result.

  • Instead of: “I want to run a marathon.”
    Attempt: “I’m a runner.”
  • Instead of: “I really should start a blog.”
  • Attempt: “I’m a writer.”

Do you see the difference? You try not to force new behavior. You step into a new identity and the behavior of course follows.

Press your brain like this

In the Podcast episode we break exactly how we can let this psychology work for you. A taste:

  • First choose the identity. Who do you want to be? A writer, an entrepreneur, a healthy eater, a morning person? Decide and claim it.
  • Stack of small promotions. Do you want to be a “reader”? Start with one page per day. Do you want to be “fit”? Do 5 squats while brewing coffee. Small promotions repeated = Identity locked.
  • Talk like the person. Your self -talk is powerful. Say: “I am the kind of person who ___” and see how to catch up your brain.
  • Let the glow-up sneak up. Before you know it, you don’t try to be that version of you, you Are her.

If you are tired of starting routines and dump them two weeks later, this episode will give you the mentality service you need to finally keep to the habits you transform.

Why all this changes

When you focus on identity, habits no longer stop chores and they start to feel like self -expression. In this way you force yourself not to appear anymore. Instead, you are just who you are.
