“In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”
Maybe the biggest problem people have when trying to improve something in their lives is that they never take much action at all.
Consistency isn’t most exciting word in personal development. But it is, coupled with time, what will give you real results in your life. Sticking with the program and doing something consistently – and not just when you feel inspired or something like that – is very, very powerful.
These tips can be used to make it easier to get through the period that is needed to establish a new habit in your life. They can also be used after a habit is established because even then you will have bad days or slip up.
1. Use a morning ritual.
2. Do things even if you don’t feel like it.
3. Don’t hurt yourself.
4. Focus on and take responsibility for the process, not the potential results.
5. Find and do what you love or like to do.
6. Let go of old self images.
7. Use reminders in your environment.
