When it comes to reinvention, people often focus on big, dramatic changes. They want to overhaul their entire life in one day. But that’s not how transformation works.
True reinvention happens through daily, consistent action, not one-time efforts. It’s about showing up every single day, no matter how you feel. And the best way to do that? Non-negotiables.
Non-negotiables are small, daily commitments that you follow no matter what. They aren't "nice to haves"—they're musts. At The FR4MULA, non-negotiables are part of the Recommit phase of reinvention, and they’re one of the most powerful tools for lasting change.
Here are 7 non-negotiables you should add to your life today if you’re serious about lasting reinvention.
1️⃣ Master Your Morning (No More Rushed Starts)
How you start your morning sets the tone for your entire day. If you wake up, scroll social media, and rush out the door, you’ll stay in reaction mode all day. Instead, take control.
Non-Negotiable: Create a simple, repeatable morning routine.
Example:
Wake up at the same time daily.
No phone for 30 minutes.
Move your body for 10-30 minutes.
Write 3 goals or priorities for the day.
Start small. A consistent, intentional morning routine changes everything.
2️⃣ Move Your Body Daily (Not Negotiable)
Your body and mind are connected. When you move your body, you increase energy, focus, and discipline. This isn’t about "hardcore workouts" every day—it’s about movement.
Non-Negotiable: Move your body for at least 30 minutes daily.
Example:
Walk.
Lift weights.
Stretch or do yoga.
The goal isn’t to crush every workout—it’s to show up for it. Action builds identity.
3️⃣ Track Your Wins (Daily Reflection)
Most people focus on everything they didn’t do instead of what they did. This mindset kills confidence. Flip the script by tracking your daily wins.
Non-Negotiable: Write down 3 wins every day.
Example:
Completed your workout.
Stuck to your nutrition plan.
Made progress on a business project.
Why this works: Every win builds momentum. And momentum is what powers reinvention.
4️⃣ Set Daily Intentions (Clarity Beats Confusion)
Every morning, set an intention for the day. This could be a goal, a task, or a way you want to "show up" for yourself and others. Intentions guide your focus and help you avoid distraction.
Non-Negotiable: Write down 1-3 daily intentions every morning.
Example:
Today I will focus on patience and not react emotionally.
Today I will complete 3 deep work tasks before 12 PM.
Today I will push myself to finish my workout, no matter what.
When you’re clear on your intentions, your actions will follow.
5️⃣ Stick to One Major Task Per Day (No Overwhelm)
Most people have a to-do list with 20+ items and wonder why they never feel accomplished. Instead of doing "everything," focus on doing one major thing. This removes overwhelm and guarantees progress.
Non-Negotiable: Complete 1 high-impact task every day.
Example:
Finish a proposal.
Complete your workout.
Plan your meals for the week.
By doing one major thing every day, you make progress without burnout.
6️⃣ Follow Your Non-Negotiable Nutrition Plan
If you don’t control your nutrition, you’ll always feel like you’re battling your body. The goal isn’t "perfection"—it’s consistency. Small, simple, repeatable actions win the day.
Non-Negotiable: Follow 1 simple rule for nutrition.
Example:
Drink 1 gallon of water daily.
Eat 1 vegetable with every meal.
No eating after 8 PM.
Your nutrition non-negotiables don’t have to be extreme—they just have to be consistent.
7️⃣ End Your Day with Reflection (Close the Loop)
At the end of every day, reflect. Ask yourself:
What did I do well today?
Where did I fall short?
What’s my plan for tomorrow?
This daily reflection is simple but powerful. It keeps you aware of your progress and your weak points. Awareness leads to improvement.
Non-Negotiable: End each day with reflection and goal-setting.
