    One week with these identity habits

    My time is valuable.
    Feb 9: Same person as yesterday just as I’m beginning walk with my husband…I was pretty upset as we agreed on something & then she still didn’t get it. I have decided if this continues, I will have to leave - or she will. My time is valuable. The good part is I was so 😑 I walked super fast!
    I also got a call from a β€œfriend” who only calls when she wants ideas from me. I didn’t pick up. My time is valuable & time with my husband is invaluable!

    Outcome goal: Lose 70 more pounds to reach my goal weight and then maintain my goal weight.

    Process (habit): Workout at the gym for a minimum of 30 mins 5 days a week.

    Identity: I want to become a fitness fanatic.

    February I will… Set my alarm on Monday through Friday for 4:30am, walk to the gym (0.5 mile), do a minimum of 20 minutes of cardio + 10 minutes of strength training, and walk back home (0.5 mile).

    Feb 10: Yep, continuing to do this. Enjoying & putting energy into true friends & projects I care about!
    Yes, Terri! @TerriRichardson112 - working on the no stress plan
    Back in it by last night :)
    A friend came over today - outside with mask 6 ft away. She kept walking over to me. I said, β€œwe need to be 6ft away even with the masks.” She kept doing it. β€œwe won’t be able to see each other if you don’t stay 6 ft away!” We’re wearing masks & I have the booster.” Me: You need to stay 6ft away. She did. I stopped short of telling her my risk of dying. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    I don’t post as colorful as others but my habit tracker looks pretty good room for improvement but perhaps this will be a better week that’s upcoming. Overall I am pleased with my progress I guess that’s what is most important I will keep moving forward no backwards for me!

    @donna25trinity Same with my hubby.. but fortunately he goes right back to sleep. :smile: I’ve been doing well with my workouts thus far. I started going to the gym on Feb 6th. Prior to that I was just getting up and walking a mile before work and/or doing some aerobic workout in my living room. Now I’m getting a mile walk in and cardio at the gym.. and I added in strength training starting yesterday.

    I’m slowly building up to being the β€œfitness fanatic β€œ I see myself as one day. LOL. I have the type of personality that wants to do more, work harder, and be the best. So if I can just keep working hard and get this weight off so I feel better, I’m sure I’ll be able to achieve my goals.

    I’ll check in on here more often with my progress. :smile:

    Your insights around identity are Really Working for me?

    I’m creating a new identity for myself & Im a lot happier & energized!!

    Thank you!
    🌸Maddie

    This makes me so happy to hear, Maddie!

    For me, the concept of identity based habits was very alien at first. If you wanted to create new habits, why not just focus on the new habit? But if your new habit isn’t aligned with how you see yourself and who you are, it probably won’t have much staying power. Changing how we see ourselves and cementing that view with small daily actions opens the door to almost any change we want to make for ourselves. It’s a very exciting concept!

    Wow… there’s a 4:30AM? πŸ˜€

    I am also a morning exerciser but that’s usually in the 7:00 to 8:00 am timeframe. Nothing happens before coffee.

    @themedalist yes, it’s lifechanging

    I am a person who doesn’t worry!
    I am a healthy dancing artist-hiker who loves to cook!
    I am a person who sets boundaries.
    I am a person who loves to coach & inspire others (in real life) especially around creativity & health!
