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.
