Why Identity Change Is So Hard — And How to Actually Do It

In this episode of The For Good Life, Jaycee Spagrud explains why changing your identity feels so difficult — and why trying harder at the behavior level won’t create lasting change. If you’ve ever said, “I’m just not someone who follows through,” “I always gain the weight back,” or “Life is just hard for me,” this episode will show you why that feels true — and how your brain is reinforcing it. This episode explores how identity is constructed through repeated thoughts, emotional experiences, and the meaning you assign to events. We break down the Reticular Activating System (RAS) — and why your brain filters out 88–90% of reality, only allowing you to consciously notice the evidence that matches what you already believe about yourself. Long before neuroscience confirmed it, scripture said: “Put off your old self… be made new in the attitude of your minds.” Not behavior first — mind first. Belief first👉 Identity first.
