Do me yourself a favor and read this following sentence twice.

The most important variable for your success is likely the thing you struggle with the most.

Consistency.

Am I right? Would you describe yourself as consistently inconsistent?

Or just straight up inconsistent?

It's no secret...

If you want to be successful at anything in life...

The formula is always the same: Be ruthlessly consistent.

And yet, when I ask individuals what they struggle with the most, the answer I get 9 times out of 10 is...

Consistency.

It's no wonder so many of us struggle to reach our goals.

So.. I thought it would be useful to drop my top 5 consistency hacks to help you solve this.

In no particular order...

If you absorb and implement these 5 things, your consistency will skyrocket (as will your results).

1. Take perfection off the table.

Most of the time, it's the expectation of perfection that throws us off our game.

How many times have you been completely dialed in and let one misstep derail everything?

Probably a lot.

The one misstep is normal. Multiple missteps are normal.

They only impact us when we expect to be perfect.

So let's start to accept failure, missteps, mistakes, and setbacks as inevitable and important pieces to the puzzle.

That way when they do happen, you can think.. ahh here we go, I knew this would happen and the most important thing right now is how I move forward.

2. Stop biting off more than you can chew.

In other words.. simplify to amplify.

It's hard enough to be consistent with one thing.

It's even harder to be consistent with 17 things.. which is often what we try to tackle.

This is the classic "resolution" mindset.

"I'm going to fix everything all at once."

But you won't.

It'll be short-lived because we only have so much mental capacity.

Start with one thing...

Do that really well...

Then move to the next.

This is exactly how I work with my coaching clients with their health and it has served them well (you've seen many of the wins they've gotten). 

3. Expand your timeline.

Change takes time.

Longer than any of us would like.

Stop expecting instant gratification.

What if you actually committed to being consistent for a long time regardless of the result?

For example, you're going to be consistent with your nutrition for 6 months, regardless of what the scale says on a daily basis.

Imagine where you'd be if you had that habit solidified.

It might take months or years longer than you expect.

So buckle up and commit to the long game. It pays off for years (I'm living proof of this).

4. Be brutally honest with yourself.

On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you in your ability to be consistent with the thing you say you want to do?

Anything less than a 9 or a 10, probably needs some work.

What's the root of the issue?

Why are you not a 10?

Self limiting beliefs?

The excuses you keep accepting?

The stories you're telling yourself?

Get honest about what's holding you back and do some serious self reflection about what you want and what's truly important.

5. Cultivate your environment.

Consistency can be made exponentially easier or harder, depending on your environment.

That includes your physical environment, as well as your mental environment, and social media environment.

For example, if you're trying to be consistent with your nutrition but your house is filled with boat loads of junk and processed food.. then your environment is not conducive to success.

If you're trying to be consistent with positive self talk but you only follow social media accounts that make you feel like crap about yourself.. then, again, your environment is holding you back.

The best part about your environment, is that you are in control.

You can structure it in a way that facilitates consistency.

Make things easier on yourself.

And there you have it..

My top 5 consistency hacks.

What do you think?

Helpful?

Easier said than done?

It always is.

That's why investing in yourself and getting a coach will always bring the greatest ROI you can imagine.

I'm just one click away... whenever you're ready.

Funny enough, the simple act of asking for help might be the step that gets you everything you want and more. 

You just gotta do it...

PS - In case you're wondering what happens when you click that link...

Step 1: you'll be taken to a short inquiry form. Answer a few questions so I can get an idea of what you want to do and how I can help.

Step 2: If I feel I can help you based on your inquiry, I'll personally follow up with you via email. I may have a follow-up question if I'm unclear or I need some context. 

Step 3: If I can help you, I'll send you a short document that outlines what and how I would work with you. You can read it over and if it resonates with you and you want to proceed, you simply reply back.

I like to keep things simple. :)
