We’re shifting our focus from habits to identity, understanding that true and lasting change begins with a clear vision of the person you aspire to be. Get ready to define your wellness identity and witness the power of intention.
The Power of Identity in Habits
James Clear, in his book “Atomic Habits,” emphasizes the profound impact of identity on our habits. As we navigate Week 2, consider how viewing yourself as a person committed to wellness influences the choices you make.
Week 2 Tasks: Journaling Your Wellness Identity
This week’s habit is to embark on a journaling journey, where you’ll define the person you are becoming on this wellness path.

Day 2: Envisioning Your Ideal Self
Close your eyes and envision the person you aspire to be—vibrant, energetic, and deeply connected to your well-being. Describe this ideal version of yourself in detail. What habits does this person embody?
Day 3: Aligning with Values
Consider the values that underpin your wellness journey. Is it a commitment to self-care, resilience, or balance? Align your envisioned identity with these core values.
Day 4: Writing Affirmations
Craft positive affirmations that reinforce your wellness identity. These are statements that resonate with your vision and serve as daily reminders of the person you are becoming.
