I canโt count how many times Iโve told myself, '๐๐ฌ๐ข๐บ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐โ๐ฎ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ.' It usually starts the same way - strong momentum, good intentions, then life happens.
And the cycle continues: ๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฉ > ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ > ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ.
After a while, I started noticing something. Somewhere along the way, consistency turned into:
โก๏ธ doing things perfectly
โก๏ธ never missing a day
โก๏ธ or feeling like momentum was way too fragile and easy to lose
And that mindset? It made consistency feel heavy instead of doable.
So I stopped asking why I canโt stay consistent and started asking what makes consistency fall apart for me and I came up with a few things I want to share with others.
This week, Iโm running a ๐ฑ-๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ - not to โfixโ anyone, but to practice a different way of showing up that actually worked for me.
One thatโs:
โ๏ธ flexible instead of all-or-nothing
โ๏ธ focused on returning, not restarting
โ๏ธ built around real life, not ideal conditions
This isn't a challenge to "do more" or "try harder" or โdo this one thing for 5 days and youโll forever be consistent.โ
It's about figuring out why your consistency breaks in the first place so you can nip it in the bud for good.
If that resonates and you want to join me, youโre welcome inside The Escaperโs Lab. Weโre testing this together, one small action at a time.
