This Cigarette Smoker Story Changed My Entire Life... (AlterReport#8)

The person who has smoked 5 years gets the craving and the person who smokes his first doesn't get a craving. Your cravings don’t come from the behaviour itself, but from the identity tied to it.

In fact, 2 of my recent goals were achieved because of Identity Shifting: - A gym habit - Reach top 1.4% in the world at Chess Just like a lifelong non-smoker doesn’t crave cigarettes, someone who has fully shifted their identity to valuing health doesn’t crave junk food. The secret isn’t willpower. It’s identity. And once you shift identities, everything becomes effortless. If you the ability to effortlessly shift your Identities Just comment "Identity" on this post
