goooood morn to you,

i’ve got a beef with our collective belief that consistency is “boring.”

let’s set the record straight — consistency is so sexy.

consistency underpins all the habits we’ve recently explored together: accountability, clarity, authenticity, productivity, & focus.

but consistency isn't just about what you do.

it's about who you are.

it's about showing up for yourself & others, even when the going gets tough. it's about being reliable, not just in the big moments, but in the everyday ones too. it’s about grinding through, when you aren’t seeing results.

so today we’re learning how to embrace consistency in all its glory.

something i’ve worked hard to improve this past year

& something i’ve grown to love.

consistency is consistently critical

i know the thrill seekers & adventure lovers are likely rolling their eyes already.

but consistency is a core human need that must be satisfied before you can climb up your self-actualization pyramid.

consistency is essential for 4 key reasons.

1. safety: consistency satisfies our deep-seated human need for stability & predictability. a core foundation of maslow’s hierarchy.

2. trust: regularity in our actions builds trust, not just with others, but also within ourselves, building & reinforcing on # 3.

3. confidence: demonstrating to ourselves that we can follow through on commitments, big or small, bolsters our belief in our capabilities.

4. growth: tiny daily habits & incremental improvements accumulate, leading to significant transformations over time.

consistency is consistently critical for all our authentic needs.

the consistency conundrum

despite us knowing this truth, we drop the consistency ball all the time.

motivation dwindles, memories fade, overwhelm sets in, life gets hectic, laziness creeps in, boredom takes hold, distractions abound, and disillusionment looms large. you name it.

all these things shout loud & clear:

consistency is hard.

but hey, as the saying goes, nothing worth having comes easy. we know then that consistency is worth having.

doing the damn thing.
every. single. day.
is where the magic happens.

rebranding consistency

far too many think consistency is a total snoozefest, requiring you to be stuck in a rut or live only in bland soulless routines.

consistency is so much more.

consistency is being reliable, dependable, & relentless in the pursuit of your goals. & there's nothing sexier to see or be than someone who knows what they want & goes after it with unwavering determination.

it’s so hot.

but it’s up to you to make it the right heat for you.

here’s how i spice up the feeling of sameness:

1. doing less

2. finding my flow

3. creating rituals i love

4. cultivating gratitude

5. celebrating small wins

6. striving for sexy goals

7. practicing the law of 100

8. following my authenticity

9. building in flexible free time

10. mixing business with pleasure

the spices change season to season, but the main dish of consistency stays the same. it’s how i’ve survived my first year in business & i know it’s how i’ll build my dream life.

i hope you’ll join me in committing to being our most consistent sexy selves.

because magic awaits us
not only on the other side,
but also along the journey.
