Think of an area where you want to develop a new habit or make a positive change, such as exercise, healthy eating, or productivity. Identify the specific behavior you want to adopt.

Before worrying about motivation or mindset, take action by doing the desired behavior, even if you don't feel like it. As Mel says, 'Start acting like the person who has the things that you want right now.'

After taking action, reflect on how doing this behavior aligns with your desired identity. As Mel explains, 'If I see myself taking actions consistent with somebody who [has the desired traits], it changes the way that I look at myself.'
