| 0:00.0 | It's time for some real talk. Do you find yourself having a hard time getting started on something |
| 0:07.3 | that you really want to do? Maybe it's losing weight, maybe it's cleaning out your closet, |
| 0:15.1 | maybe it's a project that you've been wanting to complete, but you just keep putting it on the |
| 0:20.6 | back burner. What I want you to know is that this is very normal. It comes down to physics, |
| 0:26.4 | but in this episode, I want to give you some tools that will help you get started even when |
| 0:31.1 | you don't want to. I like to think about the rocket ship. Takes 85% of its fuel to get it off the |
| 0:38.8 | ground during takeoff. And that's what it's like to get started, but once you get started, |
| 0:44.4 | you've got that momentum behind you and it's hard to stop. And again, this all comes down to physics. |
| 0:50.5 | Where Newton said an item at rest tends to stay at rest and an item in motion tends to stay in motion. |
| 0:58.4 | Are you ready to get into motion? Let's dive into today's episode. |
| 1:04.0 | Welcome to the School of Self-Image, where personal development meets style. Here's your hostess, |

| 1:26.9 | where I want to talk about getting started when you don't want to. I hear so many of my members of |
| 1:35.2 | the School of Self-Image talk about how they have all of these dreams and these goals and these |
| 1:41.2 | desires and yet they find themselves procrastinating. Some of my members want to lose weight and yet |
| 1:49.2 | they find themselves sitting on the sofa at night watching Netflix eating chips. Some of my |
| 1:56.3 | members want to save money. They want to build their net worth and yet they find themselves online |
| 2:02.6 | shopping at night. Some of my members they want to grow their business and yet they find themselves |
| 2:10.0 | wasting time scrolling through social media. This all comes down to physics. If you're experiencing |
| 2:19.2 | this, first of all, give yourself some grace because it does not help for you to beat yourself up |
| 2:24.0 | for fighting against physics, which is basically what's happening. Newton's first law of motion |
