THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY

It would be nice to wake up tomorrow and have everything exactly the way that you want it to be wouldn't it?  Unfortunately that is not the way that massive change works.

In order for us to make a change in our life it is going to take consistency.

For instance, say you have the goal, to increase your vertical jump by two inches.  You then determine that you can get there with strength training program that is 10 weeks long and has sessions 3 times per week.

You get off to a fast start training for 3 weeks in row, but then you fall in a  rut and take the next 2 weeks off.  What is going to happen then?

Will you maintain where you were from week three?  Most likely you will not, and you will have to start back at square one.

Consistency is important and it usually boils down to how important the task at hand is for us.  To continue consistently with something, make sure you have taken the steps mentally first, to ensure that this goal is important to you.

2. Underneath that goal, list 3 reasons of PAIN that will be caused by not following through on this goal
3.  Underneath that, list 3 reasons of EXCITEMENT of how good it will feel when you achieve this goal
4.  Carry this card with you everywhere so when you find yourself not wanting to take action of your goal, you are reminded how it will affect you later
