Atomic Habits

Added 2022-05-31 11:01:01 +0000 UTC

My friends Patti and Bill and I have been going through Atomic Habits. I made a video about this too. The focus right now is on Identity. Our Identity is a key to our habits.

Interestingly, our habits shape our identity and our identity dictates our behaviors. It’s a feedback loop. The author states that our behaviors cast votes toward our identity…..each time we workout, we start to identify ourselves as a “fit person.”

When you lace up and run, whether 5 minutes or a marathon, you are creating an identity of a runner.

I was thinking about this and how our identity in Christ REALLY sets us up for the best of all worlds! We already are in a place of victory, we are already righteous and full of all the tools we need to be the conquerors that He says we are. We are complete in Him!

So, stepping out and solidifying healthy habits starts with knowing who we already are and then we get to continue to identify ourselves through positive behaviors!

When it comes right down to it, how you identify yourself is huge to your choices. And then, your choices continue to reinforce your identity…..one tiny step at a time.

Romans 8:37-39 TPT

Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!
