Speaker 1: Hey everyone, and welcome back to Morning Mindset. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Rachel Carter, and let me tell you, it feels amazing
Speaker 1: to be kicking off another day with all of you
Speaker 1: brilliant minds. Now, before we dive into today's juicy topic,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask, ever wake up feeling like a hamster
Speaker 1: on a wheel, running around doing things, but somehow not
Speaker 1: really getting anywhere. You know that feeling when your to
Speaker 1: do list just grows and grows and you're left wondering
Speaker 1: where all the time goes. Well, my friends, today we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about something that can be a total
Speaker 1: game changer. Consistency. Think of it like this. Imagine you're
Speaker 1: planning a tiny seed. You water it every day, maybe
Speaker 1: even give it a little sun and over time that
Speaker 1: seed grows into a mighty tree. Right. Well, consistency is
Speaker 1: kind of like that daily watering and sunshine for your goals, dreams,
Speaker 1: and even just your overall well being. Now I know
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, Rachel, consists Instancy sounds great in theory,
Speaker 1: but let's be real. Life gets crazy, work deadlines, social events,
Speaker 1: netflix binges. Sometimes it feels impossible to stay on track.
Speaker 1: I hear you, but trust me, The power of small,
Speaker 1: consistent efforts is seriously underestimated. Here are five key takeaways
Speaker 1: that I want you to walk away with today. One
Speaker 1: Small steps lead to giant leaps. It's easy to get
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by big goals, so break them down into manageable chunks.
Speaker 1: Instead of focusing on writing a whole book, maybe aim
Speaker 1: to write just one page a day. Instead of trying
Speaker 1: to overhaul your entire lifestyle, start with incorporating one healthy
Speaker 1: habit at a time. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
Speaker 1: Two Consistency trump's intensity. You know those bursts of energy
Speaker 1: where you try to do everything at once. They can
Speaker 1: be great for short term wins, but they're often unsustainable.
Speaker 1: Think about it like training for a marathon. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: run twenty six miles on your first day, right. It's
Speaker 1: all about building up gradually and staying consistent over time. Three.
Speaker 1: Embrace the power of habit, our brain's love routine. Once
Speaker 1: you establish a consistent habit, it becomes easier and easier
Speaker 1: to stick with it. Think about things like brushing your
Speaker 1: teeth or making your bed every morning. Those are habits
Speaker 1: that have become second nature because you've practiced them. Consistently. Four.
Speaker 1: Celebrate your winds, big and small. Acknowledging your progress, no
Speaker 1: matter how small, keeps you motivated and reinforces the positive
Speaker 1: impact of your efforts. Don't wait for a major milestone
Speaker 1: to celebrate. Take time to appreciate every step forward. It
Speaker 1: might seem like a tiny victory at first, but those
Speaker 1: little winds add up over time. Five. Be kind to yourself.
Speaker 1: Let's be real. Life happens. There will be days when
Speaker 1: you miss a workout or skip a meditation session. Don't
Speaker 1: beat yourself up about it. Just get back on track
Speaker 1: as soon as possible and keep moving forward. Remember, consistency
Speaker 1: isn't about perfection. It's about showing up for yourself day
Speaker 1: after day, even when it's tough. Now, let me share
Speaker 1: a real world example that might hit home. Imagine you
Speaker 1: have a friend who wants to learn how to play
Speaker 1: the guitar. They buy a beautiful instrument and are super
Speaker 1: excited in the beginning, but they only practice for a
Speaker 1: few days before getting distracted by other things. Meanwhile, another friend,
Speaker 1: maybe not as talented, initially picks up their guitar every
Speaker 1: day for just fifteen minutes. Who do you think is
Speaker 1: more likely to become a proficient guitarist. You got it.
Speaker 1: The person who shows up consistently, even if it's for
Speaker 1: short bursts. This isn't about being gifted or having more time.
Speaker 1: It's about building that habit and letting those small efforts
Speaker 1: compound over time. So remember these key takeaways. Break down
Speaker 1: your goals into manageable steps. Focus on consistency over intensity,
Speaker 1: build healthy habits, celebrate your wins, and be kind to yourself.
