Being consistent is a major struggle for most people. However, it is a MUST if you are going to create a lifestyle change. Your consistency doesn’t have to look like someone else’s and your measures of success will be different. In fact, consistency is something you create based on where you are, where you want to go, and how soon you want to get there. If you are like me, then you know that comparing yourself to someone else does not help with consistency. So instead, pay attention to YOUR OWN goals and efforts and you will be able to tell if you are putting in more efforts towards your goals than not.
Once you have that down, include some of these things into your routine and you will see increased consistency!
1. Write out a priorities list. Once the list is complete, notice where your priorities are around your health and eating. If they are not in your top 4, then this will make it extremely difficult to be consistent. So, if it’s important to you, rework your list and really take a look at whether your health and eating can be higher on your list while other things move down. Once your top priorities include your health and food, your efforts in these areas will be consistent!
3. Expand what you measure your success by. Don’t count on the scale to validate all of your efforts. If you do this, you run the of being disappointed VERY OFTEN! And, feelings of disappointment can stall consistency. If you learn to look at other things (i.e., clothes size, small changes, compliments, inner feelings, etc) as measures of success, you will find that your efforts are great and this will motivate you to keep going…then BAM, consistency!
