While chatting over coffee with a friend recently, she began telling me of a book she had just finished: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear. She explained that the book described how we identify ourselves influences our actions and how we live our lives. For example, if I habitually bite my nails, I would refer to myself as a nail biter. But I could change that habit by changing my identification by saying/thinking I am not a nail biter. This could apply to many things, such as saying "I'm not a morning person," or "I'm not a runner." Now I have not read this book (and probably won't TBH), so I will take her word on this description.
