Outcome-Based vs. Identity-Based Habits

Outcomes are about what you get. Processes are about what you do. Identity is about what you believe. When it comes to building habits that last—when it comes to building a system of 1 percent improvements—the problem is not that one level is “better” or “worse” than another. All levels of change are useful in their own way. The problem is the direction of change.

Many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve. This leads us to outcome-based habits. The alternative is to build identity-based habits. With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.

Imagine two people resisting a cigarette. When offered a smoke, the first person says, “No thanks. I’m trying to quit.” It sounds like a reasonable response, but this person still believes they are a smoker who is trying to be something else. They are hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.

The second person declines by saying, “No thanks. I’m not a smoker.” It’s a small difference, but this statement signals a shift in identity. Smoking was part of their former life, not their current one. They no longer identify as someone who smokes.
**第20天：基于结果 vs 基于身份的习惯**

结果是你得到的东西。过程是你做的事情。身份是你相信的东西。当谈到建立持久的习惯——当谈到建立一个1%改进的系统时——问题不在于某一层次比另一层次“更好”或“更差”。每个层次的变化都有其独特的价值。问题在于变化的方向。

许多人开始改变习惯的过程时，关注的是他们想要实现的目标。这让我们走向了以结果为导向的习惯。而另一种方式是建立基于身份的习惯。在这种方法中，我们从关注自己希望成为什么样的人开始。

想象两个拒绝香烟的人。当有人递给他们一支烟时，第一个人说：“不，谢谢，我正在戒烟。”听起来像是合理的回应，但这个人仍然认为自己是一个吸烟者，只是在努力变成其他样子。他们希望自己的行为会改变，但仍然抱着相同的信念。

第二个人则说：“不，谢谢，我不是吸烟者。”这虽然是一个小小的差别，但这句话标志着身份的转变。吸烟曾是他们过去生活的一部分，而不是现在的生活。他们不再认同自己是一个吸烟者。
