I recently realized something important that I want to share with you, because it’s a simple truth that separates those who get results from those who don’t.
It’s something I’ve struggled with myself, and it just may be the one thing that’s holding you back from your big breakthrough: consistency.
Think about it. The only difference that separates a fitness success story from someone who’s still trying to get on track is the consistency with which they apply themselves to their routine and their diet. That’s it!
Look, I know you can exercise and eat right. You’ve done it before. You’ve completed challenges and finished 30-day programs. But a fitness plan only works when you consistently stick with it. That haphazard effort of starting, stopping, and starting again will never lead to a dramatic transformation of your body.
What if I told you that you are just 5 feet from gold? That if you simply dug in a little deeper and stuck with the program consistently, you would finally achieve the big results that you’ve been hoping for all along. Don’t stop now!
How to Unlock the Power of Consistency
It’s one thing to know that consistency is valuable, but it’s another, actually, to do it. If you get off track time and time again, how do you tap into the consistency you need to make a real improvement? It’s a simple, three-step process.
1. See It: Define Your Actions. First, you need to define exactly what you want to be consistent on. Be specific! Instead of saying, “I’ll start exercising,” say, “I’ll do the 5 AM session on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.” Instead of, “I’ll start eating healthy,” say, “I’ll eat X number of calories per day divided into 5 small meals.”
The more specific you are, the better. And remember, you are defining your actions, not your outcome. The size of jeans you want to fit into is a byproduct of consistently doing the actions. Just clearly define what you need to be consistent on.
2. Feel It: Visualize Your Outcome. Your emotions play a huge part in determining your actions, so don’t skim over this step! It’s time to become emotionally invested in achieving your goal.
The best way to do this is to spend time daydreaming about what life will be like once your goal has been accomplished. Let the image of the new you, in your newly improved body, play out in your mind over and over.
Feel it at your core. What will that new body feel like? How will your friends and family respond to the new you? Let these feelings become your motivation.
3. Do It: Take Consistent Action. You are clear about what you want. You feel invested in getting the results. Now, go about the business of taking consistent action toward your goal.
Yes, it sounds simple. And it is simple. Be consistent and you’ll soon strike gold.
