Chris Williamson – Start With Small Promises You Don’t Break

In this no-nonsense and deeply practical episode, Chris Williamson shares one of the most effective mindset shifts for building unbreakable self-trust and long-term discipline: start with small promises you don’t break. Drawing from his own journey and countless conversations with high-performers on Modern Wisdom, Chris explains why most people stay stuck—because they repeatedly make big, emotional promises to themselves (“Monday I start the diet,” “This year I’ll build the business,” “Tomorrow I wake up at 5 a.m.”) and then break them, training their subconscious that their word means nothing.

He flips the script: tiny, stupidly easy commitments you actually keep are far more powerful than giant resolutions you abandon. Examples he lives by:

• Make your bed every single morning (no exceptions).
• Drink one full glass of water first thing after waking.
• Do 10 push-ups or 30 seconds of plank before checking your phone.
• Write one sentence in a journal every night—no more, no less.

These micro-promises are so small they feel ridiculous to skip, yet every time you keep one, you deposit credibility into your internal bank account. Over weeks and months, that credibility compounds. Suddenly, when a bigger promise arrives (“I’m going to train 5 days a week,” “I’m going to build the side business”), your brain already believes “I’m the kind of person who keeps my word.” Self-trust becomes automatic.

Chris’s core truth: you don’t build discipline by forcing massive change—you build it by never lying to yourself again, starting with the smallest possible truths. The moment you stop breaking small promises, you stop being at war with yourself. And when you’re no longer your own enemy, everything else becomes possible.

Whether you’re trying to get in shape, launch a project, fix your mornings, or simply like the person looking back in the mirror, this episode gives you the exact lever to pull first: make one tiny promise today… and keep it. Then stack another tomorrow. That’s how ordinary people become extraordinary—through boring, consistent, kept promises.

Start small. Stay unbreakable. Watch your life change.
