Non-negotiables vs boundaries: Do you have your priorities set for the next year?

“We always talk about mindset before mechanics, and it starts with your inner thoughts and the power of what is in your mind. And this mindset will guide your non-negotiables, as they will reflect your values and what's important to you. This will also help make your inner critic your biggest cheerleader so that you can harness self-love to help you become accountable for your wants throughout the year.”

In this episode, Pros&Babes founder and CEO and host of this podcast Kinia Romanowska goes through her non-negotiables for the next year to come, including focusing your mindset, promoting self-love, maintaining support systems, strengthening your body, changing your success timeline, and overall focusing on your inner game.
