I feel like true behavior change is really identity change and what I mean by that is you know imagine two people you walk up to them and you offer a cigarette to the first person and they say oh no thanks i'm not a smoker

and then you go up to the second person you offer them a cigarette and they say oh no thanks i'm trying to quit well that first person no longer identifies as a smoker oh no thanks i'm not a smoker right like they don't have to try as hard because of the previous smokers yeah they're trying to quit right and the second person you say

would you like a cigarette and they say oh no thanks i'm trying to quit they still identify as someone who smokes and so that shift and identity of seeing yourself as the type of person who smokes versus seeing yourself as not a smoker

you don't have to motivate yourself to the same degree when you see yourself in that way because once you identify as that kind of person you're not even really motivating yourself to do it anymore you're just acting in alignment with the type of person you already see yourself to be
