Help Me Understand

229. Before you commit to something, ask this one question.


Listen Later

Before you commit to a new fitness goal, a sleep routine, or a nutrition habit…
Ask yourself this:

"What would need to go wrong for me to not follow through on this?"


In this short, high-impact episode, Coach JK breaks down a simple question that helps you build better habits by planning for real life.


You’ll learn how to use this question to:

  • Set commitments you can actually keep

  • Adjust without quitting when life gets busy

  • Build self-awareness and flexibility into your routines


Whether you're trying to go to bed earlier, eat more intentionally, or be more consistent with your workouts...this mindset shift will help you follow through more often, with less friction.
