Who do you want to be in 2024? Before we all disappear into the pine-scented Can't view this email properly? [View in Browser]()
{NAME}, Who do you want to be in 2024? Before we all disappear into the pine-scented no-manâs-land between Christmas and New Yearâs, I want you to give this question some serious thought. Because thinking about who you want to be is the first step to becoming that version of yourself. The next step? Describing who you want to be. [IWT quote]() Change your self-talk to change your behavior Though it might seem subtle, the language we use to describe ourselves (both internally and to others) can support us in actually doing the behaviors connected with our goals. On the flip side, [some words can actively prevent us from reaching our goals](). For example, consider the difference between saying: âIâm trying to eat healthy foodâ and saying: âI eat healthy food.â The âtryingâ statement implies much more effort. Why? Because trying is hard! âTryingâ means you have to make tough decisions every single time one comes up. Should I eat this dessert or not? Should I read that book Iâve been meaning to open, or scroll my phone instead? Should I save my extra cash this month, or spend it? (â[I automate my finances so I donât have to worry about saving]()â is the identity shift Iâd love to see you make with that last one.) Being faced with more decisions means youâll have a LOT more chances to engage in the behavior youâre trying to avoid. And youâre only human. Eventually, youâll get tired of thinking about it and just eat the dang dessert. Churro from Pujol Itâs OK if itâs a churro from Pujol. By contrast, describing yourself as a person who simply does/doesnât do something takes all of the decision fatigue ([and luck]()) out of the equation. Itâs a done deal. This is the power of identity shifts Whether youâre trying to build better habits, get paid more, start a business, or [any other skill we teach in our programs](), youâre embarking on a journey of changing how you see yourself â and changing your behavior in the process. Identity shifts can make all the difference between success and failure, both on a micro level (eating the dessert or not) and on a macro level (deciding that you ARE the kind of person who automates their savings every month, or even [starts a business to make more money]()). So letâs return to the question I asked at the top of this email: Who do you want to be in 2024, {NAME}? You're a neat guy Saying is believing. More mindset shifts coming your way As we head into the New Year â a time when so many people will be renewing their commitment to their own personal development â Iâll share more psychological principles like this one. The emails Iâll send you this week will give you practical tools to start 2024 off as the person you want to be. (Without setting New Yearâs resolutions, which donât work. More on that later.) [Signature] P.S. On Wednesday, Iâll send you some tips to master your brainâs need for instant gratification.
