3608: The Identity Gap: The Real Reason You’re Not Where You Want to Be Yet

MM:
Do you ever wonder why you know exactly what to do to change your life, yet still feel stuck repeating the same patterns?
On today’s show, we explore a powerful concept in psychology called, The Identity Gap, which represents the space between who you consciously want to become and who you subconsciously believe you are.
I break down why lasting change does not come from willpower or information alone, but from upgrading your internal identity, which ultimately shapes your health, habits, relationships, and success.
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3608 to learn how to align who you are with who you want to become and why focusing on just today’s actions is the key to sustainable transformation.
Enjoy the show!
Show Highlights & Big Takeaways
1. You Get What You Match: If progress keeps stalling or reversing, it’s often because subconscious beliefs are pulling you back to an old “set point.” Sustainable change requires upgrading identity, not just following steps.
2. Action Creates Belief: You don’t need confidence or certainty first. Taking small, consistent actions provides proof, and proof is what rewires the subconscious mind and reshapes identity over time.
3. Focus on Today: Lasting transformation happens by narrowing your focus to what you can do today—30 minutes of effort, one habit, one step forward. Over time, those actions build self-worth and eliminate the gap between who you are and who you’re becoming.
