How RiteLoop Works
A system built on one principle: you don't achieve change, you become it.
Who you become
What you design
What you do
What you observe
The evidence reinforces identity. The cycle deepens.
The Four Steps
Choose Your Identity
Before you create a single habit, define who you want to become. Not goals. Not outcomes. Identity statements.
Examples
- • I am someone who writes daily
- • I am someone who moves their body
- • I am someone who reflects before acting
Design Your Rites
For each identity, design one or more rites (recurring rituals). These are the practices that forge the identity over time.
Examples
- • Morning pages: 15 minutes of freewriting
- • Movement ritual: 20 minutes before noon
- • Evening reflection: 5 minutes of journaling
Practice With Intention
Perform your rites with presence. This isn't about checking boxes. It's about showing up intentionally, repeatedly.
Examples
- • Set a clear trigger
- • Create sacred space (even briefly)
- • Close the ritual consciously
Observe the Evidence
Over time, your logged rituals become evidence. Not of what you did, but of who you're becoming.
Examples
- • Review your patterns weekly
- • Notice identity shifts monthly
- • Celebrate transformations yearly
The Principles
Identity Precedes Action
Most systems start with goals. We start with identity. When you see yourself differently, your actions follow naturally.
Rituals Over Habits
A habit is automatic. A ritual is intentional. We're not trying to remove thought—we're adding meaning.
Evidence Over Streaks
Streaks create anxiety. Evidence creates confidence. One is about not breaking. The other is about becoming.
Long-term Over Quick Wins
Identity transformation takes time. RiteLoop is designed for months and years, not days and weeks.
Common Questions
How is this different from a habit tracker?
Habit trackers focus on consistency and streaks. RiteLoop focuses on identity and evidence. We don't care if you missed a day. We care about the overall pattern of who you're becoming.
What if I break my streak?
There are no streaks. Missing a ritual doesn't reset anything. The evidence you've accumulated remains. Identity isn't fragile—it's built over time, not destroyed by a single absence.
How long before I see results?
Identity transformation is measured in months and years, not days and weeks. You'll start seeing evidence accumulate within weeks, but the deeper shift happens over time.
Can I use this for any kind of habit?
Yes, but we encourage you to think in terms of identity, not habits. Instead of "exercise 3x per week," think "I am someone who moves their body." The rites emerge from this identity.
