Instead of chasing goals, focus on who you want to become. For instance, instead of setting a goal to lose weight, work on becoming someone who values your body and health. Caring for your body with exercise, rest, and good nutrition are actions that reflect your new identity — and will make it easier to cement good habits in the long run.
