Consistency isn’t about being perfect.

After years of exercising, I still find it hard to stay consistent. Back when I kept strict training journals, I’d often write at the top of the page.

START AGAIN

Back then it meant disappointment, failure, “ I need more discipline”, just a general sense of being hard on myself.

Now I see it differently and this is what I share with my clients.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect. It’s not about getting it right every single day. It’s about being in a place where you can keep coming back,again and again, without judgement, without pressure.

Because yes you will have low motivation days, you will have low energy days and you will lose momentum;  but that’s not failure.

That’s just being human.

The real work is learning not to abandon yourself in those moments, not to beat yourself up for a perceived lack of perfection.

It’s not about fixing your consistency. It’s about changing the way you relate to yourself when you lose it.

So now when I write START AGAIN at the top of the page, it comes with a compassion, an understanding and a determined willingness just to begin again.

Perfectly Imperfect.
