Are you consistent? It will show…
I remember working with a personal trainer many years ago. The first thing he said to me? "Be consistent, show up and do the work. It'll pay off in the long run." He was right, many years later, I can appreciate the benefits of consistently showing up…especially when I didn't feel like it, doing one little thing...sustaining a habit.
The good news here? Consistency applies to ANY goal.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Aristotle
Yes, anything we repeatedly do, over time, will end up "showing". I remember attending a celebration of life several years ago and reconnecting with some people I hadn't seen in many years The amazing thing about not seeing people for that length of time? You can tell, rather quickly, who prioritized their health and wellness. From a purely observational stance - it showed.
I use this example to illustrate that anything you do repeatedly will be evident over time...maybe not as obvious to others but definitely obvious to you...
Apply this to anything you want to achieve. A mindset shift? Growing your confidence? Becoming happier or healthier...whatever matters to you.
Consistency - where you are today, is a sum total of all your decisions and habits over time.
Satisfied with where you are? Great! If not, good news...the way you got here, is the same way you can get to where you want to be. It's not too late...you're not too old, too young or too whatever the story is that you're telling yourself.
Small habits and decisions over time, will result in change. It's like compounding interest…over time…tiny, consistent, steps will result in transformational change.
The kind of change that doesn't happen overnight...but by being consistent in your practices, putting in daily action.
Small sustainable practices will morph over time.
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
Pick a goal that you don't seem to be getting traction on, one that you're willing to invest in now. Keep it simple and small.
Commit to taking daily action. It could be as simple as:
Googling "how to" get started on that thing.
Writing down three tangible steps you can take.
...and then...taking the first one.
It's always a good time to start. Start now. Today.
