Do you know that many people prefer going to the same restaurants and order the same things? Their response to this consistency is, “why to fix things that aren’t broken!”
Productivity is based on consistency, and if you break the cycle, you will surely fall off the rails.
Here are 7 tried tips to help you become outrageously consistent.
- Have A Rigid Routine
There is no substitution for productivity if you aren’t an early riser. Wake up early, meditate for 5 to 10 minutes, get out of bed, go to your balcony and inhale the fresh air, head to the bathroom, and stretch for 20 minutes, get ready and go. This routine isn’t super optimized but it can surely make you start your day with a bang.
- F.O.C.U.S – Follow One Course Until Success
Life becomes a whole lot different when you decide to shift your focus on one important thing. Whatever you want to do, build your system around it. Routine, tasks, people, events, everything. The best way is to write them down and work them one at a time. It is easier to be consistent when your routine and behavior are not erratic.
- Consistent Thoughts
If you aim to have consistent behavior, aim for a consistent thought pattern. In terms of your principles, you should be firm as a rock. This can initially be difficult, but practice will make you perfect. Read substantial material, because your thoughts will be developed through this habit. Even if your mind wanders, your staunch thought process will have set the foundation and ground your mind to the principles.
- Don’t Allow Self-Doubt To Diminish Your Flame
While you are walking towards your designated goal, you may feel self-doubt. Self-doubt is the destroyer of your consistency. Never forget that self-doubt will kill your dreams more than failure will. Don’t let every hurdle hamper your way. Don’t dwell on self-doubt at all.
- Don’t Indulge In Things That Don’t Concern You
You should not do things when you don’t feel like it. Always balance your consistency with your happiness. See yourself in the mirror every day and ask what difference you will make if this was your last day. Be consistent, and you will be grateful that you pushed yourself through the moment of discomfort. But if you still feel unsatisfied day after day, try being consistent about something else.
- You Are What You Do On A Daily Basis
You are not what you do sometimes; rather you are what you do daily. If you don’t feel like doing something, remind yourself that you have to do it, no matter what. Never forget you are what you do repeatedly.
- To Improve Your Consistency, Improve Consistently
Build your hopes high. Although many people call this insanity, doing the same thing over and over does improve the results. This is also called success. To be precise, you can say that doing the same things repeatedly, but getting different results, is called improvement. Be sincere even in the small things, because these inevitably define your success.
