💡 CheatCode #11: Move Before You Negotiate
Action silences the inner critic.
🤔 “Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.”
— Dale Carnegie
Every day, you negotiate with your own potential.
“Should I go to the gym?”
“Maybe I’ll do it later.”
“What if it’s not good enough?”
By the time the mental committee is done talking — the moment’s gone. You’ve already lost.
The fix isn’t more discipline. It’s less negotiation.
Before you let your brain talk you out of it… move.
Press send.
Hit publish.
Put your shoes on.
Say the thing.
Action kills the negotiation.
The Tactic:
Adopt the “No Vote Rule.”
When your brain starts trying to delay action, say:
“I’ll give it a vote after I take the first step.”
You don’t need to finish the whole thing. You just need to start.
Movement first. Doubt later.
Why it works:
✅ Shuts down procrastination at the root
✅ Builds self-trust through behavior
✅ Interrupts emotional resistance with motion
Today’s Challenge:
Pick something you’ve been stalling on.
Don’t decide — just do one step of it right now.
Before the overthinking kicks in.
Final Thought:
Confidence isn’t built in thought.
It’s built in motion.
