Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review.

Welcome back to Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast. In this episode, Stop Negotiating With Yourself: The Hidden Habit That Kills Consistency, Michael Hicks breaks down the real reason most people feel “undisciplined” and keep starting over.

The problem usually isn’t motivation. It’s daily negotiation: the quiet bargaining that turns one skipped habit into a lost week, a lost month, and eventually a stuck identity. Michael shares Liv2Thrive identity coaching strategies to end the debate with comfort, build standards over moods, and create follow-through that survives real life.

You’ll also hear practical insights re-framed through the Liv2Thrive system from proven habit and performance research (identity-based habits, environment design, minimum standards on hard weeks, and weekly review). If you’ve been struggling with discipline, consistency, procrastination, or “all-or-nothing” thinking, this episode is your reset.

🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why “undisciplined” is often a lie you’ve accepted

How daily negotiation silently destroys consistency

The difference between moods and standards

How to build identity-based habits that actually stick

How to remove “leaky habits” that drain your energy

Why minimum standards on hard weeks protect momentum

The Liv2Thrive framework to stop starting over

✅ Quote to remember:
“If you negotiate daily, you lose weekly.”
“Your future is losing to your comfort’s negotiation skills.”
