Consistency is a word that has haunted and taunted me for years. I always thought I was bad at it but now what I have come to realise is that when my consistency wanes, it is a sign that I need to pause, reflect and possibly do things differently. I am always tempted to say that I’m not consistent, but then I think of all the areas of my life where I am:
You already know how I feel about this. The word came back into my brain the very day you se t this letter! Consistency is about the what and the message for me now and somewhat lengthened. Next day delivery and instantaneous everything has us thinking consistency is an every day thing and if we miss a day or a week we need to constantly "get back on track."
I associate consistency with doing something every day or repeatedly. This can be challenging for me and my ADHD. Persistence is more about pushing theough despite the challenges. Like, returning to a practice despite not being consistent or having difficulties because the important thing is the practice. It's mostly my own way of practicing self compassion.
this was soo good for me to hear, thank you for sharing

I REALLY loved the part about consistency in a way that doesn’t dictate your life! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reading and sharing your inspired journaling prompt 🙂

This! Every part.
Love this. Also, been working on focusing more on persistence vs consistency.
Oh very interesting. I'd love to hear how you distinguish between the two.

I love this distinction and also "the important thing is the practice". A needed reminder, thank you 😊
Hi, I thought I was on my own in feeling like this. Thank you for sharing
I suspect there's a whole community of us! 😊
