Most people don’t really want to change.
They want to talk about change.
They want to look like they’re trying.
They want to feel better about staying the same.
But if you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re different.
You’re tired of the excuses.
You’re done with half-measures.
You’re ready to bury the habits killing your progress.
This is the plan.
No fluff. No sugarcoating.
Just real steps to give those bad habits the Kiss of Death.
What Is the Kiss of Death?
It’s the moment you stop playing with change.
It’s when you stop saying “someday” and commit to now.
It’s ending the habits that sabotage you.
Not cutting back. Not negotiating.
Killing them.
Because if you don’t kill them, they’ll keep killing your goals.
Why You Need to Commit
Here’s the truth no one likes:
You can’t change if you’re not willing to commit.
No plan works if you don’t show up.
No advice matters if you ignore it when it gets hard.
No transformation happens without discomfort.
Commitment is the difference between “I wish” and “I did.”
5 Steps of the Kiss of Death Plan
1. Name the Habit Honestly
Stop softening it.
Call it what it is.
Procrastination.
Self-sabotage.
People-pleasing.
Stress-eating.
Avoidance.
If you won’t name it, you can’t kill it.
2. Identify Your Triggers
Bad habits don’t exist in a vacuum.
They’re responses to something.
What sets you off?
Stress? Boredom? Fear? Insecurity?
Recognize the pattern so you can disrupt it.
3. Replace It Intentionally
You can’t just stop.
You have to replace.
If you don’t plan what you’ll do instead, you’ll go right back.
Examples:
-
Stress-eating → Calling a friend
-
Avoidance → Scheduling tasks
-
People-pleasing → Setting clear boundaries
Replacement isn’t optional. It’s required.
4. Make Accountability Non-Negotiable
Willpower is weak alone.
You’ll talk yourself out of it.
Tell someone your plan.
Ask for check-ins.
Write it down.
Use a tracker.
Make it harder to backslide quietly.
5. Prepare for Setbacks
You’re going to mess up.
That doesn’t mean you failed.
It means you’re human.
What matters is getting back on track.
Adjust. Learn. Keep going.
My Challenge to You
Pick one habit this week.
Just one.
And give it the Kiss of Death.
No more pretending.
No more “someday.”
Name it.
Plan your replacement.
Identify your triggers.
Get accountability.
Practice—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Because you deserve better than staying stuck.
Why I Won’t Sugarcoat It
Because you don’t need more pretty lies.
You need real talk.
You need practical steps.
You need someone to remind you that you’re capable of real change.
And you are.
But only if you commit.
