Hiya friend,

Soooooo, I just ate my weight in dark chocolate-covered almonds.

That's generally not a terrific idea.

But in my case, it's an especially terrible idea, because in 20 minutes, I have to leave my house, drive to the gym, and participate in this ridiculous group exercise situation I've gotten myself into.

I'm not entirely sure, but I have a hunch that chasing many, many, many chocolate almonds with 50 minutes of intense-ish aerobic activity may feel... uncomfortable.

But even though I'm serpent-in-the-garden-level tempted to skip, I'm going to the damn class, and here's why:

I've unsubscribed from arguing for my limitations.

Here's what I mean: I've spent my much of my adult life believing that I'm a "serial starter."
That I "lose interest the minute something gets hard." And, relevant to my current predicament, that I "break promises to myself."

The problem is, the more I say that stuff out loud, the more true it becomes.

In regard to the almond onslaught, Previous Kelley (PK) would've said, "See, Hartnett?" (I often call myself by my last name.) "You did it again. You promised yourself you'd skip the sugar, and you didn't. You're a hot mess, girl. You might as well ditch class, too."

Nope. Huh-uh. .

Pep Talk #005: Send that sh*t to spam.
I'm actively unsubscribing from all sorts of things: limiting beliefs, perfectionism, trying to convince myself that spaghetti squash is a suitable substitute for actual spaghetti.

What can you unsubscribe from to move forward in your life and business?

Is it the idea that you have to do things a certain way to be successful?
That you should be further along by now?
That because your big idea has already been done that you shouldn't bother?
That you don't belong/aren't good enough/don't have what it takes?

The next time one of those ideas pops into your head, imagine yourself slamming the unsubscribe button. Then send that sh*t to spam.

Cheering you on,
Kell
