Why 99% of People Fail to Build Consistency: The Secret of Showing Up Daily
Have you ever had a goal to do something every day, and the next day or better still the next week, you stopped? It could be a workout, reading, or even learning a new skill to do during a day or a week. You’re not alone! Yet, consistency many a time is something most people find difficult to cultivate. But what if there is a solution that would make a challenge or at least make it easier to solve? Now, Let´s move on to the realization of THE secret for YOU to be present EVERY day!
Key Takeaways
- Consistency is turning up, even if it is a tiny little bit.
- Begin with smaller tasks to avoid overwhelming yourself when developing a new habit.
The Power of Showing Up
“Consistency is the bridge between goals and success.”
We come up with this big idea of something we want to achieve — be it getting fit, becoming a better reader, or organizing ourselves — and of course by such motivation we set numerous new benchmarks for ourselves. But they cease after 3 days at most 1 week because the journey is not smooth. Why? The reason is simple; they are not present at school every day.
Contrary, practice does not mean making all right and applying the full efforts possible each time. The very best that it is about is just showing up and doing the stuff when it feels like you cannot even do that. However, I will be pointing out why consistency is actually a massive deal and how you can get it into your routine right away.
Why Do People Struggle to Be Consistent?
Here are some common reasons why most peoples don’t stick to their goals:
- Setting Big Goals Too Soon
A problem with approaching objectives on a massive scale is that it can be extremely unendurable. If you choose to read for an hour each day, you may get easily fatigued and have difficulty continuing reading. - Expecting Fast Results
Most everyone would like things to change immediately, but change does not occur overnight. When people do not watch progress happen right from the start they let go. - Getting Bored or Distracted
Repeatedly doing something makes one lose focus or get bored stunt. There are also things that greatly interfere with one’s life or pursuit and so it is with life as it has distractions that hinder the flow of progression. - Lack of Motivation
The worst thing that anybody can ever say is that some days they do not even fancy doing anything. It is okay but this can serve to discourage one from continuing to be present though.
The Secret to Consistency: Show Up!
“You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to keep showing up.”
That’s a lot more realistic than a culture of being perfect every day, even if that means only doing a small amount. Coming to work daily forms a pattern and you know what? Patterns are strong! Just like when you brush your teeth. you don’t have to think twice. staff, you can only do a little bit. Being present every day helps to build a routine and people know that habits are habits for a reason! You could compare it to someone taking their toothbrush to teeth, or even washing their hands, for example, you don’t question why you do it, do you? teeth — you do it every day without thinking about it, right? That’s because it’s a habit. How to train your self to show up for your creations every day
- Start Small
- Choose something simple that you can do daily where you’re not going to fail as fast as you might with something big and ambitious. Instead of saying, “I’ll exercise for 30 minutes” Try using “I’ll move five minutes in a day”. Small beginnings assist to keep you going.
2. Focus on the Action, Not the Result
- There is no need to be impatient and wait for immediate changes to happen. Make it about simply acting, such as reading one page in a book or doing one push-up.
3. Set a Daily Reminder
- Write a reminder on a sticky note or your phone somewhere you will see it, but won’t forget. Coaching experience indicates people benefit from reminder prompts.
4. Celebrate Small Wins
- If you total your goal every day don’t forget to celebrate what you have achieved! Reward yourself with a metaphorical or real pat on the back or put it on your calendar. That is because small celebrations help make us feel good and keep us motivated all through the projects we are undertaking.
5. Forgive Yourself if You Miss a Day
- Any sharpshooter will admit to the fact that he or she has some days when they miss their mark. You don’t need to be so critical of yourself! In other words, it is okay to be fired up one day and then forget the next, simply continue the following day. The key here is consistency not intensity, so if you don’t get everything precisely right, don’t worry about it.
A Real Story: The Power of Small Steps
Suppose two people decide to start running, these people are friends — Sam and Alex. Sam chooses to work out and does five miles of running every day whereas Alex begins with five minutes of walking every day. A week later Sam begins to feel fatigued and drops off. But Alex continues to arrive every day for five minutes.
Using exercises, gradually the habit of exercising is developed and the time for exercises increases every day with the help of Alex. A few months later Alex can run five miles with no difficulty at all!
The lesson? Alex started and also was consistently repeating the actions, focusing on the small goal and then reaching the ultimate goal, while Sam quit in the middle of the process because of big, difficult goals.
“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.”
Try It Today!
Select one tiny change that you want to apply toward your goal each day. I’m talking about choosing to write one sentence, to do one minute of exercise, to read one page. Give it a week and tell me how it feels,” such are the typical respondent’s words. But do not forget that the key here is consistency — it comes down to showing up!
Remember one behavior change that you wish to make. What is the smallest thing that you can take today? Try it first with something small and see how being present every day assists you in your development.
Final Thought
Nowadays, failure can be attributed to one simple reason: people are willing to give up when they face difficulties. But you can be different. If you come to work every day, one day, you will wake up and find out that you are a new person. Just a little reminder it does not matter how small the changes we make, they will all count as time passes.
