Mindset
Identity drives behavior. Become the person, then act.
Why it matters
Lasting change happens at the identity level, not the goal level. People who say 'I'm not a smoker' outperform those trying to quit smoking. The same principle applies to fitness, nutrition, and recovery: 'I'm the kind of person who walks every day' beats 'I should walk more.' Mindset is a practice, not a personality.
