Yesterday, I promised myself Iβd go out for a walk. Nothing extremeβjust one hour, about 10,000 steps. β±οΈπ
But hereβs what happened: it took me an hour and 15 minutes just to get out the door. ππ© My brain threw every excuse at me:
- βTomorrow will be easier.β π
- βYou donβt feel like it.β π΄
- βThat gym outfit wonβt even fit right.β ππ«
Sound familiar? π
Thatβs the thing: the brain is designed to protect you. π§© It wants you safe, comfortable, and unchanged. π But growth doesnβt live there. π± Growth lives in the moment you stop negotiating with the excuses and move anyway. πͺπ₯
Eventually, I made the decision: No more debate. My body deserves the effort I promised it. π― And I walked. Just one hour. Just one step after another. πβ‘οΈπβ‘οΈπ
βοΈ The Rule
- 1 hour of walking (β 10k steps) β±οΈπ£ is the baseline.
- It doesnβt matter if you feel like it. π
- It doesnβt matter if itβs comfortable. ποΈ
- One hour. Every day. Non-negotiable. β
π Reflection Questions
- How often do you let your brain talk you out of the commitments youβve made to yourself? π€
- What excuses show up most often for you? π£οΈ
- What would shift in your health, confidence, and energy β‘π if you simply honored one non-negotiable promise to yourself every day? π
π Action Step
Today, take your brain out for a walk. π§ β‘οΈπΆ
π One hour. ~10k steps.
When youβre done, post βDONEβ β
here to mark your commitment.
This isnβt about stepsβitβs about self-trust. πͺπ The kind you rebuild by keeping your word to your own body. π
Ps.
Listen to this during your walk: ππ§
