In what is my set point post…..we concluded by saying consistency is the key.. Making lifestyle changes can be challenging. You are breaking a habit, it is never easy!!! Whether you’re trying to eat healthier, exercise more, or reduce stress, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the prospect of making long-term changes. However, the key to success lies in consistency. The Key to a long, preserved change. With making small, sustainable changes to your daily habits that add up over time, You will be able to be the new, healthy, progressed, successful version of yourself.
Why Consistency is a key?
Consistency is important because it helps you create new habits and stick to them. Building habits is challenging, but it is the start of building awareness. The moment to decide to change, means that you realise that something is wrong and needs to be changed. Not everyone can reach this point!!! It requires knowledge, and becoming aware of the negative impact of how they’ve been living so far. Moreover, it is about recognizing and holding on opportunities. Even Though, this is just the start of making a change. Habits are behaviours that we repeat regularly and automatically, without much conscious effort. When you repeat a behaviour consistently, it becomes easier over time, and eventually, it becomes a habit. By making small, consistent changes to your daily routine, you can create new habits that support your long-term goals.
Consistency is also important because it helps you build momentum. When you start seeing progress, it can be motivating and give you the energy to keep going. For example, if you start exercising regularly and notice that you’re feeling stronger and more energised, it can encourage you to stick with your routine.
Tips for Building Consistency
Here are some tips for building consistency in your daily habits:
Start small: Trying to make too many changes at once can be overwhelming. Instead, focus on one small change at a time. For example, if you want to start exercising more, start with a 10-minute walk every day, and gradually increase the time and intensity over time.
Set specific goals: Often called SMART: Specific, Measurable, Accurate, Relevant, and Time bound. It can help you stay motivated and track your progress.
Make it a daily habit: Consistency is about doing something regularly, so try to make your new habit a daily one. For example, if you want to meditate more, try to do it at the same time every day.
Hold yourself accountable: Find ways to hold yourself accountable for your new habit. For example, you could track your progress in a journal, or share your goals with a friend or family member.
Be patient: Building new habits takes time, so be patient with yourself. Remember that small, consistent changes over time can add up to big results.
In conclusion,
consistency is key in making lifestyle changes. By making small, sustainable changes to your daily habits, you can create new habits that support your long-term goals. Remember to start small, set specific goals, make it a daily habit, hold yourself accountable, and be patient. With consistency and persistence, you can make lasting changes that improve your health and well-being.

I love this and it works for anything…eating, exercising, working, relationships…thanks for the reminder small consistent sets forward…
The two tips you listed I work to improve on is starting small and being patient. These are the main culprits as to why I tend to struggle with consistency. I usually have big ideas and want to hurry up and tackle as much as I can. At the same time, I usually expect fast result. Only to get disappointed when nothing works out the way I hoped. Thank-you for sharing your advice on consistency.
Great post! Thanks for sharing!
Every day, I strive to become better at being consistent with the habits necessary to achieve my goals. Thank you so much for sharing this, it is truly helpful.
Very nicely said – Consistency is key. It is the beginning of being successful. Thanks for sharing this useful post! It is very helpful to have a reminder about following through and changing our harmful habits.
Thanks for putting this together! Consistency is so important but so is SMART.
Consistency and following through with your own changes and making it a habit are key to your own well-being. I had a knee replacement less than 3 months ago, and now walk way more than previously, to stay mobile and exercise which I could not do for the past 5 years. I am pinning this but invite you to come and share your posts with us at our weekly Linkup.

Excellent tips on habit forming (or breaking). Especially starting small. Too often we try to do too much at once and get overwhelmed, and then we quit. Great post.
