“I’m trying to eat less sugar.”
“I’m not a person who snacks.”
These sound similar. They’re completely different.
The first one is a battle. It assumes I want the sugar and I’m resisting. Every day is a new fight. Willpower required.
The second one isn’t a fight at all. It’s just who I am. The decision has already been made, somewhere upstream, and the moment-to-moment choices flow from it.
I’m not trying to be someone who eats well. I’m trying to become someone who already does.
Becoming, not battling
The prompts help with that—not by giving me rules, but by putting identity questions in front of me. Who do I want to be? What would that person do here?
Eventually, I stop asking. I just do what I do.
That’s the long game with 365 Changes. Not behavior modification. Not willpower training. Just small questions, arriving daily, that slowly reshape who I think I am.
