Great post Melody! Loved the topic of getting down to your identity before choosing to go after a goal. The only caveat I would have to this is that sometimes getting to the goal is a systems issue. You might be aligned with it, but if you don't have a process in place to take consistent action on it, you're never going to get anywhere.
Oh I totally agree! I am a systems fanatic - my entire framework is a system LOL - but yeah, neither the goal nor the system will yield sustainable results without that first step of identity / values alignment. Also - I just saw you subscribed! Thank you!! :)
Thank you! It’s the missing piece for sure. So many people talk about habit stacking, which absolutely works, but only IF the habits align with your hierarchy of values.
Thank you for this essay. It helped me immensely to look at some things from the outside about myself and draw my own conclusions so that I can take new actions in the new year.

Excellent piece! I love that you emphasized the fact that transformation has to happen at the identity level, otherwise no goal or habit will stick.
