How To Be Consistent When You Can’t be Consistent
Steal from my secret
Hello there,
How are you?
I’ve been trying to be consistent with my writing routine as much as possible, but there are inevitable breaks owing to lifestyle changes, sickness, or work stress.
The hardest part about being consistent is getting back to the grind after a break. It really feels like starting all over again.
But with lots of experiments, I have learned a few things that helped me to get back without much hustle and stress.
Here are some things that can make you getting back easier:
- Start small and focus on the immediate rather than the ultimate. For example, I think, “Let’s work out today,” and not “I’ll work out every single day.”
- Before getting out of bed, I visualize my day and imagine myself writing.
- Don’t set any expectations what you “should” do everyday. Make it more intuitive.
- Let yourself enjoy the process of creating. Take pleasure on every word or paragraph you write rather than focusing on how difficult it is.
“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.” — Dwayne Johnson
When you break it down to the basics and small chunks, it all comes down to three things — starting small, not putting too much pressure on yourself, and enjoying the process rather than being fixated on the outcome.
Whether it’s writing, marketing, or working out or doing anything no matter what habit you’re trying to build consistency in, these tips can help you out.
Love, Ankita
