Why Commitment Beats Motivation Every Time
Last week I shared a simple strategy for taking consistent action, even on low, or zero-energy days. The core idea is deciding ahead of time what you will do and what you will commit to, before motivation gets a vote. This week, I had a real-life opportunity to test it. I was dealing with some small back spasms on Saturday that, by midweek, ended up at the walk-in clinic. New meds. Pain. Low sleep. Low energy. One of those weeks where it would have been easy to shut everything down. So I went back to the decision I had already made. Each day, I started at a 50% commitment level. Even on Thursday, which was a full zero-energy day, I still got the important things done. Not perfectly. Not heroically. Just consistently. Then this morning, the familiar voices showed up. Self-doubt and excuses were doing their thing. I stopped. Named what was happening. I asked myself one question: Do I want to believe these thoughts, or do I want to honor the decision I already made? That was the shift. Energy followed commitment, not the other way around. I immediately went from zero to a full 50% and started my day. This Friday, February 6th at Noon Central, in Activate Your Wealth Identity, I am going to show you how to build a daily rhythm that keeps you moving forward, even on the hard days. This is about becoming unstoppable without forcing yourself.
