Identity-based habits link immediate goals to a broader sense of self, such as becoming a 'fit person'.

“That is different than so-called identity based habits where there's a larger overarching theme to the habit where you're trying to become quote unquote a fit person or you're somebody who wants to be uh an athlete or something of that sort. It's where you start to attach some sort of larger picture about yourself or what it means for you to do that habit where there's both the immediate goal, right? Complete the exercise, complete the the session or whatever it is. um check off that box, but that you're linking it to some sort of larger goal.”
