So many coaches, courses, books, whatever it may be, they focus on level 4 of this pyramid. So over here, they focus on action. And it's not specifically bad advice, so it can work for some people. It is try this morning routine, or it is try to optimize your calendar, or use this productivity system, or go to the gym more, or try this diet. Now, whenever you try something like that, It might work. It might work for a couple of days, but then we fall again into that cycle. If you remember from yesterday, the cycle where you try something new, you go all in, you're excited, and then you completely forget about it because you miss a day, the shame kicks in, and you forget about it. Now, how can we actually solve this issue? It is by going below the surface, and we start at the identity level. So we focus on identity because identity creates beliefs, beliefs create your emotions, and the right emotions, that is what leads to sustainable actions that will actually get you to a version that is getting the results in, in a sustainable way.
