Description: You already know what to do. You're not confused. You're not missing information. You're just leaving yourself an out — and then taking it.This episode is a direct callout of the habit of vague intention."I'm going to work out this week" is not a plan. It's an opening for a negotiation you're going to lose. And you'll lose it every time because you're really good at talking yourself out of things when you haven't pre-decided them.No more drifting. No more "I'll figure it out." This episode is about closing the exit doors — and then using the next 30 days to prove to yourself what actually happens when you stop giving yourself wiggle room.We cover:-      Why vague intentions are just pre-scheduled failures•       The negotiation loop — how it starts, how it ends, and why you always find the out•      What pre-deciding means and how it removes the argument entirely•      How to hold yourself accountable without white-knuckling it•      The 30-day push — what it is, how to run it, and why one month of no exits changes everythingIf you've been telling yourself you're going to do the thing and then not doing it — this episode is for you.Resources Mentioned:Not Another Diet Book:https://www.amazon.com/Not-Another-Diet-Book-learning/dp/B0B45Q4CLH/Schedule a Session: https://www.heathermaio.com/coaching-options
