Week 11 of One Year No Excuses—and this one gets real.
This week wasn’t perfect:
· Missed prayer
· Partial progress on reading
· Broke carnivore with Easter sweets
But instead of spiraling, I reset and kept going.
In this episode, I break down why motivation is unreliable—and why relying on it is one of the biggest reasons people fail to stick with their goals.
We’ll talk about:
· Why motivation fades (and always will)
· The difference between motivation and habits
· What actually creates long-term consistency
· How I’m applying this in real time (fasting,diet, podcast, and building my new TikTok channel: CarnivoreChris)
If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent, this one might challenge how you think about discipline entirely.
