I’m pretty sure, come to think of it, that everything I’ve ever trained myself to do or be has been as a result of “I am the kind of person who” thinking. I suspect that it would be a lot harder to do that consciously with any real effect, but it’s an interesting thought!
Maybe “I am the kind of person who can resist those crisps” would work with enough application. Maybe...
I use this kind of thinking all the time. ’I have done [blank] which was difficult and required willpower, therefore I am the kind of person who can do difficult things that require willpower...therefore I can resist those chips.” (Or whatever. Actually I don’t usually resist chips if they’re free.)
