Each morning, Jen asks: “What’s the one action today that will make me proud at 9 PM?” 2. The 5-Minute Rule Don’t feel like working out? Put on your shoes and commit to 5 minutes. After 5 min, you can stop – but 99% of people keep going. 3. “Don’t Should on Yourself” Replace “I should have eaten better” with “Next meal, I’ll add protein first.” Guilt kills consistency. 4.
