Alright, Magic Makers—today I'm getting a little spicy. I'm calling out the two lies I used to tell myself all the damn time, and if you've ever said, "I'll start when things calm down" or "I just need 30 days to get my sh*t together," this one's gonna sting (in a good way). Lie #1: "I'll start when life calms down." Let's be real—when has that ever happened? If you're waiting for your schedule to magically open up, you might be waiting till retirement. I'll tell you how I learned to show up even when life feels like a circus (and yes, sometimes it totally is). Lie #2: "I just need 30 days to get back on track." Oh, I used to love this one. I'd go all-in, white-knuckle my way through, and then crash hard. Turns out, short bursts don't build lasting change consistency does. I'll show you what finally worked for me (and my clients) once I ditched the "perfect plan" fantasy. Messy action beats perfect planning every single time. I'll walk you through how I picked my 1–3 non-negotiables, those boring basics that actually make progress stick. Spoiler: they're not sexy, but they work. Expect a few laughs, a few "ugh, she's right" moments, and a whole lot of permission to stop waiting for the perfect time and just start now. Your challenge this week: Pick your 1–3 non-negotiables. Write them down. Stick 'em on your mirror. Then do them, even if it's messy. Especially if it's messy. Mentioned in this episode: – The One Thing by Gary Keller – My two previous episodes on "Seasons of Change" Season Based Weight Loss Let's keep the convo going: Come hang out with me in the Fit Girl Magic Facebook group or tag me on Instagram @kimjeffersoncoach and tell me your 3 non-negotiables. I love cheering on messy progress—because that's where the real transformation happens.
