You've decided to do the thing. And then the moment arrives, and suddenly you're negotiating your way out of it with reasons that feel completely legitimate. In this episode, Laura explains why that negotiation happens at a biological level, why you can't win it by arguing in the moment, and how to end it before it can even start. You'll learn the one tool she uses herself, her clients and her students to make decisions in advance, so you stop relying on willpower in the exact moments your brain is working against you.

This episode covers:

• Why you negotiate with yourself when it's time to take action
• The three places resistance shows up: physical, emotional, and intellectual
• Why you can't out-argue your brain over the long term
• How to stop trying to win the negotiation
• What near-death experiences reveal about how perspective works
• How to manually access a clarity most people only get through crisis
• The "at least I" statement: what it is and how to build one for the season you're in
• A wide range of examples to help you find one that's actually yours
• How to use your "at least I" statement as a judge that makes decisions for you
