Before you can start changing your life and putting new habits into place, you need to make sure you really understand why habits are important for everyday life. Without knowing their importance, you will never be committed to making new habits. One thing to remember is that habits shape your life. The things you do (or don’t do) every day can change your life. For example, if you commit to working out every day, you will have an overall healthier body and lifestyle. If you choose to be sedentary, you might find yourself with health problems or low self-confidence if you do not like the way your body works. Not staying active can also change your mental health. Habits also shape your identity. The things you commit to doing every day will determine who you are, who you spend time with, and the type of work you do. All these things in turn determine your identity.
