I do not negotiate.

#SundayReset

I recently heard the affirmation: “I do not negotiate with myself.”

It helps me avoid this feeling. It has been so, so helpful.

I’m Emily Logan Stedman. I do not negotiate with myself.

I say, “I will do X.”

When I think, “I do not want to do X,”

I respond, “Oh Emily, I do not negotiate with myself.”

I’ve maintained a 5 week work out regiment because of it.

And now, I enter a 75-day busy season.

To get through, I’ll set goals and timelines and plans.

When I don’t want to do it, I’ll remind myself:

I am Emily Logan Stedman. I do not negotiate with myself.
