It's Better To Be Consistent

“It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives.
It's what we do consistently.”
― Anthony Robbins

Take Baby Steps...

Many times we jump into choosing a life reflecting the positive changes we want for ourselves with an intensity that is, well, not sustainable. We make the decision that it is time to take charge of our lives and things need to change, and now! It is at this time that the internal renovations begin.

And yes, we stay focused for a week or two taking a clear cut action towards change. But, after those two or maybe even three weeks of inspired action our enthusiasm begins to disappear. Both the emotional as well as the mental energy that it takes to sustain this growth and stay focused begins to feel overwhelming at times. Sadly, we lose our confidence and fall back into our old ways of thinking. All that work for nothing! However, there is an answer…

The trick to creating sustainable life change(s) is to take your time. Take baby steps! When you start small and build off those baby steps you give yourself time to save the energy to move forward. It is like drinking water on a long desert travel. Small, consistent sips will get you to the other side. So, take those small, consistent steps one at a time. Stop to breathe and reflect, and take another step towards your goal … a new, healthy you!

Start this week. Look ahead to the finish line. See where you want to be. Then, begin to take those small consistent steps towards your future. Start experiencing how small consistent changes can create big changes in your life.

Start by looking at the finish line. Where do you want to be?

Then, take one small, simple step toward the goal. Maybe it is just smiling at a stranger? Whatever it is, take your time. Remember, the tortoise beat the hare!

Third, continue on your journey by working a little each day to get you there.

Finally, don’t look back. This is about where you are going, not where you have been. You are moving forward, not backward!

Remember, life can ALWAYS BE BETTER!
