Saying “I believe in that but I’m not ready for it yet, but IYH I will be” is perfectly valid.

I used to watch movies and listen to goyshe music and always planning to stop because I want to build a beautiful jewish home, when I was in shidduchim I decided to try and work on myself and cut down on it and be’ezras hash-m i’m getting married in a few weeks, I could say since my engagement I haven’t listened to non jewish music or watched a movie. You could be watching movies and saying you still want to build a jewish home it’s not a stirah.
