Episode #237 How to Stop Negotiating on Yourself

Summary 

You already know what you said you were going to do. So why does your brain suddenly have 47 very convincing reasons not to do it? For overachievers, inconsistency often isn’t a discipline problem. It’s what happens in those tiny moments when we start negotiating with ourselves. We think about whether we should start tomorrow, whether today is too busy, whether we need to feel more motivated first, and before we know it, we’ve talked ourselves right out of the action that would move us forward.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why negotiating is so normal, how it quietly drains your mental energy, and the skill that can help you follow through even when part of your brain would really rather not.
