Ever feel like you know exactly what to do, you have the resources, but you're still stuck in the mud?
Ryan Hanley dives into this frustrating experience, revealing that it's not about a lack of intelligence or motivation—it's about being trapped in hidden identity loops.
Ryan explains that the key to unlocking yourself isn't more knowledge, but a shift in identity. Action that aligns with the person you want to become creates the evidence needed to build belief and break free from those limiting loops.
Drawing from his personal journey with ADHD, Ryan shares how adopting the identity of an organized person transformed his challenges.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why feeling stuck isn't a sign of failure.
The powerful impact of unrecognized identity loops.
The counterintuitive secret to breaking free: action before belief.
How to model your actions after the person you aspire to be.
Practical steps to start embodying your desired identity today.
Here's what psychological principles support this:
Identity theory suggests that our self-concept strongly influences our behavior.
Behavioral activation theory highlights the power of action in shifting mood and beliefs.
Social learning theory emphasizes the role of modeling in acquiring new behaviors and identities.
Stop overthinking and start acting your way to a new identity. Ryan provides the roadmap to finally break free and become the person you're meant to be.
Takeaways:
• Your actions shape your identity and reality.
• Assume your desired future identity to become it.
• Cultivate focus on your craft and aspirations
