Don’t you hate it when someone breaks a promise?
You do your best to be there for others because you know how it feels to be let down & disappointed.
You go the extra mile to make sure that you do the thing that you say you’re going to do for people.
You show up for others like this but you rarely show up for yourself in the same way.
Here’s what I mean.
Psychologically, consistency is making a promise to yourself then fulfilling it.
The problem is, if you attach the idea of success and failure to consistency, it makes it harder to be consistent.
This is especially difficult when you’re developing & learning your God-given identity.
Once you miss your goal, the same high you created for yourself when you first accomplished it now becomes an emotional low.
This makes it harder to be consistent again.
If you want to overcome inconsistency, here’s how:
Approach everything with a level of consistency.
Why?
Because how you do anything is how you do everything.
If you build up consistency in 1 area, that character trait will bleed over into other areas of your life & business.
So don’t believe the lie: you ARE a consistent person.
There’s areas of life where you’re already consistent.
If you can brush your teeth everyday, then you can be consistent in other areas of life & business as well.
The only difference between brushing your teeth & hitting your goals is that you don’t attach your identity to brushing your teeth. This is why it’s easier to do consistently.
From now on, remind yourself: “I am consistent, I am just becoming more consistent in ___”.
Whatever that is for you, now it’s just an adjustment.
Making an adjustment is much easier to do than becoming someone that you are not.
So commit to doing something, big or small, in that area of inconsistency.
Regardless of how you feel emotionally, commit to it daily because you’re worth not giving up on.
When you do this, you will overcome inconsistency & become more consistent as a person!
