If you've ever felt stuck from where you are to where you want to be, this mindset shift is your bridge. In today's Thrivent five, we are talking about the power of identity based habits and how becoming the person who already achieves your goals is the secret to actually hitting them Welcome back to Thrive in Five, where I give you a quick burst of motivation and productivity in five minutes or less. I'm Cindy, your host, a self-made entrepreneur, busy mom, and a business coach. I've built and sold several digital businesses ranging from five to six figure successes. So when it comes to managing time and priorities in both life and work, I get it. I've been there and I am here to help you thrive. let's have a quick real talk. Success doesn't start with a to-do list. It starts with an identity. If your internal story is saying things like, I'm not consistent. I'm bad at sales or I never follow through. No strategy or planner is going to change that. The real transformation begins when you shift your identity to match the version of who already does the thing. This is called an identity shift, and it's one of the most powerful mindset tools for lasting success. Here's how to create it. Start with who not what. Instead of asking what do I need to do to hit this goal? Ask who do I need to become to hit this goal? Do you need to become someone who protects their focus? Or someone who shows up even when it's uncomfortable or someone who makes decisions quickly. Your actions flow from your identity shift. The identity and the habits will follow. You need to act like the version of who already has it. Once you know who you're becoming, start acting like her today. Ask yourself, how does she start her day? What choices does she make when things feel hard? What does she not waste energy on? Every small decision that aligns with this upgraded version of you creates momentum and self-trust. You need to affirm the new identity daily. The more you reinforce it, the more your brain believes it. Say it out loud, write it in your planner. Repeat it until it becomes second nature. I am the woman who follows through. I am someone who takes messy action. I am a focused, calm decision maker. This isn't fake. It's the future. You calling the shots, this works because your brain is always trying to stay consistent with who you believe you are. So when you upgrade your identity to match your next level goals, your actions naturally start to follow, and this is how you build confidence, breakthrough resistance, and become unstoppable so your action steps to implement this today is to write down who you need to become to reach your next goal. Choose one habit that reflects that version of you and practice it today. Create an identity affirmation and say it out loud every morning. This week. Success starts before the results show up. It starts in who you believe that you are. Thanks for tuning into the Thrive in Five podcast. If you found value in today's episode, I'd love for you to leave a review.
