022 - Building a Winning Identity Spiral of Leaders Podcast

    • Fitness

We are who we think we are... but it's deeper than that. More specifically, we're who our brain thinks that we are. See, our brain has an image in our mind of "us". It's our identity. This identity shapes how we do things and our decision-making. Your life is largely the result of your identity and how it led to your reactions and decisions. So what happens when we want to make a change? We can brute force it through willpower alone, but if we still identify as that former person we'll eventually slide back. The brain likes to be right, and it'll win in the end. So that means we need to change our identity to someone who lives the life that we want. In this podcast, I explain some of the first steps to doing that.
