Identity Is the Shortcut: Become the Person Who Already Lives the Life You Want

If you’ve ever struggled to stick with healthy habits or make consistent changes, the problem might not be your motivation—it might be your identity. In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, host Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre unpacks why true, lasting change doesn’t come from willpower or discipline—it comes from seeing yourself as the kind of person who already does those things.

You’ll learn how the behavior-belief-identity model works, and how to flip the script so your actions flow from a deeper sense of self—not just a temporary burst of effort.

👉 In This Episode:

• Why behavior change doesn’t last without identity change
• How to rewire your self-concept to match your goals
• Simple identity-based affirmations and micro-actions
• A journal prompt and challenge to shift how you see yourself
