Overcoming Inconsistency

This topic is dear to my heart because I have been struggling with inconsistency and recently it’s something I am overcoming.

Until my close friends and family members pointed out to me that I moved on too soon, I started things, and then after a while moved on to other things, I was ignorant that I was inconsistent with things. Then I knew it was serious.

This was strange to me as this was not the person I used to be, I remember being a go-getter, a determined person and one always driven to succeed despite obstacles, so where this strange behavior can about I wasn’t sure but I knew it had to go.

Here are how I am modifying this behavior:

Less is more
I discovered I was always trying to do everything, and never finished any or got overwhelmed. Sometimes we just have to focus on one thing and finish that one thing before moving on to something else, Because the more your pile up, the more you want to do more things.

Understanding everyone is on a different path
I was always on social media and it cost me because I would quickly add things that other people were doing to the things I had to do, I felt in competition with everyone. As a result, I now purposefully take breaks from social media to clear my mind and focus on the subject at hand without feeling like I am wasting my life.

Self-discipline
It is crucial to practice self-discipline, I started exercising every morning and can’t say I have been faithful with it, but this morning when I woke up I didn’t feel like exercising, I wanted more than anything to sleep back, but I have to force my self out of bed, saying I would be better of there than here sleeping, This holds for most situations; sometimes we must act despite how we feel.

Patience
Finally, I’ve been patient with myself, understanding that I can alter the things I don’t like and that getting help is vital. I’ve realized that I don’t have to do everything by myself and that asking for help has been helpful.

Although we are still on the journey, the most important thing is that each day is getting better than the last, learning, growing, and overcoming.

Till next time.
