3 Easy-To-Follow Ways To Become Remarkably Consistent At Anything In Life

How often does it happen to you?

You skip your workout citing ‘am tired’ as a reason

You promise yourself I will start eating healthy from tomorrow

Your work keeps piling up until the final deadline

This and so many more excuses you give yourself only because you are not consistent towards your own growth.

Whoever said this was 100% right - Consistency is a Superpower

Here are 3 genius ways to be consistent at anything

• Let go of being over-ambitious

Have you ever noticed, that whenever we start something new, be it a task, workout, or a book, most of us become obsessed with intensity??

Say you set your goal, “I’ll start with 5 minutes of reading each day’. And when you start, your ego comes into play, ‘I can easily read an hour a day’.

The initial intensity always fades out and with it the habit.

You don’t have to be extreme, just consistent

• Make a note of the sacrifices you will have to make

To reach somewhere, you will have to leave someplace. The lack of clarity digresses most of us from being consistent.

Write down or make a mental note of what you would be sacrificing in order to be consistent at something.

Say, for example, you promise yourself to be a healthy eater. What will you have to sacrifice or stay away from? Processed and sugary items, aerated drinks, deep-fried food, binge eating…

This will help guide your subconscious and prepare your mind for what you are aiming to be consistent at.

Consistent action creates a consistent result

• Be mindful of your decisions

There are times when you are just on the verge of being consistent, and then some situation arises. In those moments, make a decision that is best for your health, safety, and well-being.

Say, for example, you enrolled in a yoga class and are enjoying it. Suddenly you have to go out of town for a few days and you are not sure you’ll be able to get back to your sessions soon.?

When you’re not able to complete your regular threshold, make a mindful decision and do your bare minimum wherever you are. The important thing is showing up.

Consistency is more important than perfection

# Use an accountability app to maintain streaks?

Try building streaks for whatever habit you want to be consistent at - be it reading, studying, eating healthy, exercising, finishing tasks, meditation…

Motivation is what gets you started. Consistency is what keeps you going.
