56. Stop Negotiating with Yourself

This morning I caught myself negotiating.Not with someone else… but with myself.You know the voice."Skip the workout.""Do it tomorrow.""It’s not that big of a deal."In this episode, I break down what it means to negotiate with yourself, why it slowly destroys self-trust, and how those small daily negotiations quietly shape your identity.Because here’s the truth:Self-trust is self-confidence.Every promise you keep to yourself strengthens it.Every promise you break weakens it.This conversation dives into:• The story from this morning that sparked this reflection• What negotiating with yourself actually looks like in real life• Why breaking small promises erodes your confidence over time• How to rebuild self-trust when you fall short• Why the real goal each day is simple: go to bed proudAnd if you do break a promise to yourself?Don’t spiral.Use it as data.Ask: Why did that happen?Adjust.And show up a little better tomorrow.That’s how self-belief is built.One promise at a time.🎧 Subscribe to Seek the Edgehttps://open.spotify.com/show/2J7qlzsAX8rRQSMnzgQ0hU?si=ad1795fc451949ed📝 Join the One Degree Newsletter[https://xpandyourlimit.com/theonedegree💪 Train with the Xpand Your Limits Communityhttps://xpandyourlimit.com📱 Follow KelseyInstagram: @kelseylensman
