We are our habits. Per James Clear our habits are a vote for who we are.
Each time we do something we are reinforcing an ideal of ourselves.
James
even mentioned that if identify with being someone who is fit, if one
day we really failed to prioritize a workout, it would be worthwhile to
do just 5 push-ups. Not because this would be enough to make us
physically stronger. But because it would reinforce the habit of who we
are. We are voting ourselves into the office of fitness.
A good
side effect of this strategy is that because starting is the hardest
part, once we get started we will probably end of continuing. Those 5
push-ups could lead to an entire sweaty workout.
