How To Use It
- Write your identity in one role-based sentence: "I am someone who ___."
- List three specific, small actions that would count as evidence of that identity.
- Each time you complete one, jot it in the weekly log lines.
- Review after a few weeks — the identity becomes more believable with each entry.
Printing Instructions
The PDF is formatted for standard US Letter paper at default margins. Print at 100% scale ("Actual size," not "Fit to page") so the blank lines stay properly spaced for handwriting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I write as my identity statement?
Keep it short and role-based rather than outcome-based — "I am someone who reads daily" rather than "I want to read 50 books this year." The role framing is what the rest of the worksheet builds evidence toward.
What counts as "proof" of the identity?
Any small, specific action that's consistent with the identity, even if it feels minor — one page read, one healthy meal cooked, one short workout. The size of the action matters less than how consistently you can repeat it.
