Whether you workout 3 days a week, or 6 days a week, the important thing is to keep it consistent. Consistency is to keep the momentum going, keep plugging away at your routine diligently because eventually you will reach that pinnacle where the “magic” happens. That’s the point when you will start to see real results taking shape! Without consistency, you will never reach that pinnacle. Breaking the routine can set you back further and make it difficult to get back on track.
Consistency creates habits. Habits make the difference between success or failure. Habits can be positive or negative. Did you know that “quitting” or “slacking” is a habit? Every time you slack off or make excuses, you are creating a habit that sends a message to your subconscious that you are helpless and this could potentially damage your self-esteem. When we quit or slack, we usually don’t feel good about it or about ourselves. On the other hand, if you take action every time you feel like quitting, you will gain confidence and feel stronger. This strength will help you to remain consistent.
Life happens and sometimes, the routine demands of life will overload you, or unexpected events will blow in from nowhere and threaten to drive you off track. When such things happen, confront the urge to give up. There may be times, you’ll be tempted to rationalize, “Well, I’ll quit for now, but I’ll get back on track tomorrow or next week”. Don’t do it! Instead, take immediate action by plugging away toward your goals before the temptation to quit gets too strong.
The person who takes action every single day toward the attainment of their goal will always triumph over those who do it every once in a while.
