The hardest negotiation

One of the hardest negotiations is to negotiate with yourself.

A so-so job, settle or explore?

A lukewarm marriage, leave or stay?

Bone-chilling temperature, to go out or stay in?

6 am, get up and head to the gym, or snooze the alarm and stay in the warm bed?

10 pm, to shut down digital devices and go to bed, or continue to scroll to exhaust all stories?

An exciting opportunity, to go with it even though it's not aligned with my goal, or to thank them for the chance and focus on what's more important?

You have to convince yourself that the decision you are making is better for you.

You have to be clear about your decision tree.

You have to have a system so that when your mind is weak, your system is strong.

You have to enroll accountability partners so that you are compelled to make better decisions because others are watching.

Become a skillful negotiator.
