Sometimes it’s hard to start a new action, habit, lifestyle, etc. Just starting is very good. After you start to do something, you have to be consistent to see results. Being consistent is only half of the battle. You have to be consistently consistent.
It’s easy to do something consistent for a short amount of time. You’ll see your greatest results when you can be consistent all the time. If I consistently exercise for a few months, that’s good. But if I then take a month or so off, all the hard work I put in will soon diminish and I’ll have to start all over. I might not have to start over to when I first began, but the momentum that I once had will be lost, and I won’t be where I would have been if I never took a break at all.
I like to play the long game in everything in life. I have faith in myself that I can be more consistent for a longer time than the competition. In college, our football team learned about The Law of The Price Tag. One thing I like about the Law of the price tag is that the price never decreases. You have to put the work in consistently, and more often than not, you have to increase your effort to continue to progress. That goes for anything in life.
Don’t just do something consistently for a short period of time, then take a break, then begin to be consistent again. Be consistent the entire time. That’s when you will see the best results. If not, you’ll be taking two steps forward and one step back, when you could just be taking all steps forward.
