Non-Negotiable

I do not negotiate with myself.

This affirmation really stuck with me from the jump.

Don’t want to get up when alarm goes off?

Emily, this is non-negotiable.

Need to get a task done by a time certain but don’t want to do it?

Emily, quit negotiating against yourself.

Need to go to an event but feeling hesitant?

Emily, don’t negotiate out of your commitments.

Of course there are times when I should and do listen to my mind and body demanding rest and redirection.

But for those little times where I’m just letting that little voice misguide or misdirect me?

I do not negotiate with myself.
