Your ego will demand a 10… when a consistent 3 would've changed your life.
We glorify the grind. We chase the ideal. We obsess over the best way, the most extreme plan, the perfect strategy — and in doing so, we reject the one thing that actually works: consistency at a realistic level.
This episode is a deep dive into the lie that's been holding you back — the toxic fantasy that you have to "do it right" or not at all. It's the all-or-nothing trap, dressed up in perfectionism and powered by ego. And it's keeping you sick, stuck, and afraid.
You think you need a total overhaul.
You think you need discipline, intensity, a fresh start on Monday.
You don't.
You need to make peace with a 3.
You need to build a life you want to stay in.
Because the perfect plan you can't stick with will never compete with the "good enough" one you do daily.
In this episode:
Why your standards might be the reason you're not making progress
How perfectionism is just a prettier form of procrastination
The hidden ego in "not enough" thinking
What actually builds momentum (and why you're probably skipping it)
This is a call-out — and an invitation.
You don't need a 10.
You need to stop waiting for one.
But you want help implementing a plan you want to stay on, consider working with me in The Consistency Course!
