HUWHAT ARE YOUR NON-NEGOTIABLE ACTIONS?
What is nonnegotiable for you (that you often would rather not do, but you don’t allow the internal or external discussion to happen?) You just do it in place of negotiation.
-
Careful deliberation has its place, but when it comes to things that we need to do and we find ourselves trying to optimize conditions to get everything right before we do them, that’s when it pays to make the whole thing non-negotiable.
-
Remove any analysis about whether you slept enough or not, whether some is better than none, and *make adherence to the overall commitment more important than anything else- at least until it’s done.*
-
Incidentally, the data say that if your sleep deprived for one night, exercising actually helps you by reducing inflammation post exercise, but you need to be careful not to get injured— sticking to the commitment doesn’t mean reckless abandon of form etc. .
-
Non-negotiable is not just about exercise. When we make something nonnegotiable we no longer burn energy deliberating whether we should do it and we end up having more energy for the actual activity, work, relationship, etc. and whatever follows.
