Welcome to your world of the Consistency Chronicles! As your Life and Transition Coach, I understand all the daily twists and turns that can interrupt that flow of consistency and focus. It can impact our love for life and leave us feeling stuck and in a perpetual loop of incompleteness. This blog will offer 10 common barriers to consistency with simple actions to break your loop. My suggestion, read through each of them and see which one you can action right after our time together.
1. The Invisible Foe - Illuminate Your Path
Ever feel like your goals are playing hide-and-seek? Let's shed light on this challenge.
Activity:Â Grab a journal and write down three specific, achievable goals for the next month. Brain dump your path to gain clarity and intention.
2. Time: The Sneaky Thief - Be the Timekeeper
Inconsistent schedules can heist on your goals. Time is precious, so let's take control of what we can.
Activity:Â Create a daily timetable, allocating specific time blocks for your most important tasks. Share this with someone that can be an accountability partner. Be the master of your time and own your schedule.
3. The All-or-Nothing Abyss - Embrace the Gray
The all-or-nothing mindset can turn a stumble into a marathon of excuses. Let's find balance.
Activity:Â Break down a goal into smaller tasks. Celebrate progress, no matter how small, and embrace the gray area of improvement as you go.
4. Your Comfort Zone - Redefine Comfort
Consistency often requires stepping out of the cozy confines of routine. Time for a comfort zone challenge!
Activity:Â Challenge yourself in a small way each day, something that will cause a bit of discomfort. Consistency thrives when you embrace the discomfort of growth.
5. Distraction Disturbance - Ninja-Proof Your Space
Distractions are stealthy ninjas. Time to ninja-proof your space for focused work.
Activity:Â Designate a distraction-free zone and remove or add things that will support focus.
6. Energy Eclipses - Cosmic Recharge Rituals
Inconsistent energy levels can throw a wrench into your plans. Let's dance with our energy rhythms.
Activity:Â Identify peak and low energy times. Schedule tasks accordingly. Consistency blooms when you sync with your energy.
7. Comparison Conundrum - Your Race, Your Pace
The comparison game can cast shadows on your consistency journey. Time to redefine success.
Activity:Â Create a success journal. Reflect on your achievements without comparison. You can go back and read them as powerful reminders too down the road.
8. Overwhelm Avalanche - Divide and Conquer
The mountain of tasks seems insurmountable. Time to conquer it, one bite at a time.
Activity:Â Break down a daunting task into manageable steps. Once, done only work on the first bite and do not cheat and peek at the next bite until you are all done the first one. This is commonly where my clients admit to losing focus and traction.
9. Motivation Mirage - Water the Garden of Discipline
Motivation may ebb and flow, but discipline sustains. Let's cultivate the garden of consistency.
Activity:Â Choose a habit, start small, commit daily, and track progress. The tracking can offer valuable insight, of what disrupts your routine, what tweaks impact the outcome, and overall what is working.
10. Fear's Shadow Theater - Play the Lead Role
Fear's shadow can be a gripping horror show. It's time for a courageous performer.
Activity:Â Confront a fear head-on. List feelings that arise, truths about what your think, and ways you can overcome your fears. Each time you challenge the fear the less it has a hold on you, consistency becomes your story of courage.
Congratulations, Consistency Champion! By embracing these activities, you're embarking on a transformative journey. Remember, it's progress, not perfection.
