Transcript
- 0:19Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
- 0:23Speaker 1: to your Enriched Self Podcast. I am your host, my
- 0:27Speaker 1: Lee Noir. I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach.
- 0:32Speaker 1: And what that means is I want you to become
- 0:35Speaker 1: more of your enriched self. And it starts with how
- 0:39Speaker 1: you think about yourself, your day, your life. Because I'm
- 0:45Speaker 1: sure you know this, but everything you do in life
- 0:49Speaker 1: starts with a thought. And in order for those thoughts
- 0:53Speaker 1: to become things for you to live in the manifestation
- 0:58Speaker 1: of your vision and of your dream, it has to
- 1:01Speaker 1: start with how you manage those thoughts. And with life
- 1:06Speaker 1: the way it's set up, there's not many opportunities. Just
- 1:10Speaker 1: think about the way you work and the way you
- 1:12Speaker 1: live and the way you manage your home. There's not
- 1:16Speaker 1: a lot of time that you spend or that you
- 1:19Speaker 1: put aside to manage your thoughts, to spend time in thought.
- 1:25Speaker 1: And therefore I created the space with you in mind,
- 1:29Speaker 1: knowing that the life that you live, the person that
- 1:33Speaker 1: you are becoming, needs a place to grow, to be fruitful,
- 1:40Speaker 1: to multiply, and it starts with your thoughts. And so
- 1:43Speaker 1: that's what this podcast is platform and this space is
- 1:47Speaker 1: all about is giving you room to become more of
- 1:50Speaker 1: your and rich stealth. So if you are at first
- 1:55Speaker 1: time listener to the podcast, I want to thank you.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I want to welcome you for being here. I know
- 2:01Speaker 1: that you were brought here on purpose for a purpose,
- 2:07Speaker 1: And if you are a repeat listener, I want to
- 2:09Speaker 1: thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are
- 2:14Speaker 1: way into this four year journey. It will be five
- 2:21Speaker 1: years at the end of the summer coming up in
- 2:24Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and so many of you have been
- 2:27Speaker 1: here from the beginning. So many of you have joined
- 2:29Speaker 1: along the way wherever you have come into this experience
- 2:35Speaker 1: of the podcast, I want to thank you for being here.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Now before we get started with this week's episode, if
- 2:45Speaker 1: you know you know, one of the things I like
- 2:48Speaker 1: to do on the podcast is to make a deposit
- 2:53Speaker 1: into the bank of you, and I do that by
- 2:56Speaker 1: way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start
- 3:01Speaker 1: your day and to command your mourning. And this week's
- 3:09Speaker 1: affirmation is I choose simple, repeatable actions, and I trust
- 3:18Speaker 1: that consistency is building the life I want. I choose simple,
- 3:26Speaker 1: repeatable actions and I trust that consistency is building the
- 3:32Speaker 1: life I want. I choose simple, repeatable actions, and I
- 3:40Speaker 1: trust that consistency is building the life that I want. Now,
- 3:49Speaker 1: let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your
- 3:53Speaker 1: Enriched Self podcast. I think a lot of times the
- 4:04Speaker 1: reason why we struggle to get out of whatever cycle
- 4:12Speaker 1: of belief or thinking that we have is because we
- 4:17Speaker 1: haven't let go of the old way of understanding. We're
- 4:22Speaker 1: not allowing room for a new way to understand a
- 4:27Speaker 1: core point. And so today I want to reframe consistency
- 4:31Speaker 1: because consistency gets a side eye. I think anytime people
- 4:38Speaker 1: hear of how do you achieve X, Y or Z,
- 4:42Speaker 1: I mean place anything that you've been working on, you've
- 4:46Speaker 1: been thinking about in your vision, in your plans for
- 4:49Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, or even this month, and somehow someway
- 4:55Speaker 1: you have heard, You've gotten the feedback, you've gotten, the advice,
- 5:00Speaker 1: you've heard from people on social You probably even heard
- 5:04Speaker 1: it from me that you got to focus on consistency.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times, when you've heard
- 5:14Speaker 1: that message, because it's so repetitive and it's kind of
- 5:19Speaker 1: a simple message, it irks you. Be honest, you go, really,
- 5:25Speaker 1: that's it, that's your big idea. That's your point A
- 5:30Speaker 1: to point Z, It's just consistency. And the truth is
- 5:34Speaker 1: it is just consistency. But what tends to happen is
- 5:41Speaker 1: that we give it the side eye because what's happening
- 5:47Speaker 1: is we're over complicating what it's supposed to look like.
- 5:52Speaker 1: We're over complicating the conversation, and that in itself makes
- 5:57Speaker 1: us give it the side eye. That's why you're giving
- 6:00Speaker 1: consistency the side e. I think I've said this before
- 6:05Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say it again. Consistency is not sexy,
- 6:10Speaker 1: but it works. I'm gonna repeat that Consistency isn't sexy,
- 6:15Speaker 1: but it works. And the one thing I will say,
- 6:20Speaker 1: because I do want to kind of unravel this a
- 6:23Speaker 1: little bit on earth, some of the way you have
- 6:26Speaker 1: the ways you've been thinking about consistency is that, let's
- 6:31Speaker 1: be honest. I want to be honest with you, and
- 6:34Speaker 1: I want you to receive this honesty. Consistency is boring,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and that's it. Once you accept that, you acknowledge, and
- 6:46Speaker 1: you accept that, you can move on. You can be
- 6:50Speaker 1: unapologetic about it. I've learned to be unapologetic about it,
- 6:54Speaker 1: especially on my journey working out right A lot of
- 7:01Speaker 1: consistency at the beginning in the middle, and as you
- 7:07Speaker 1: progress in whatever process you're in, it's going to show
- 7:12Speaker 1: up looking like and being the same. And I know
- 7:17Speaker 1: that's not exciting people. You love to chase the exciting thing.
- 7:25Speaker 1: The problem is excitement. The thrill of that kind of
- 7:30Speaker 1: goes in different directions. So one minute it's this and
- 7:34Speaker 1: you're chasing that, and the next minute it's the other thing,
- 7:38Speaker 1: and then next next thing. You know, there's a new
- 7:40Speaker 1: way to be excited about going to the gym, right,
- 7:44Speaker 1: Maybe it's a new club, a new gym, a new workout,
- 7:48Speaker 1: some new workout gear. It's all these things, just using
- 7:52Speaker 1: workouts as an example that you chase to get excited
- 7:56Speaker 1: about the thing. The problem with doing it that way
- 8:02Speaker 1: is that you avoid, or you miss the opportunity to
- 8:06Speaker 1: become master. You avoid the mastery of what you should
- 8:14Speaker 1: be doing. When you do go to the gym, you see,
- 8:17Speaker 1: you miss the whole journey of it all. You know,
- 8:23Speaker 1: last year my husband started his journey to the gym,
- 8:27Speaker 1: and his journey's actually pretty remarkable because he didn't have
- 8:32Speaker 1: any expectations going into it. He actually went in pretty
- 8:36Speaker 1: green and I think a lot of times when people
- 8:38Speaker 1: go in, they have all these things they want to do.
- 8:40Speaker 1: He just wanted to move. And I always tell people
- 8:44Speaker 1: when I've coached people, when I've talked to people, when
- 8:47Speaker 1: people see me on socials posting my daily five am workouts,
- 8:52Speaker 1: and they're like, oh my god, how do you do it?
- 8:54Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't want you to focus on
- 8:57Speaker 1: what I do. I want you to focus on doing
- 9:01Speaker 1: one thing. And that was what my husband did. He
- 9:06Speaker 1: went to the gym and he just started walking. He
- 9:08Speaker 1: went from nothing to walking, and that simple switch then
- 9:14Speaker 1: started to unlock other things that he wanted to learn about.
- 9:18Speaker 1: So he went from again. And you got to think
- 9:21Speaker 1: about it like this. He didn't have the proper gear, shoes, socks.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole system when it comes to
- 9:29Speaker 1: working out, you know, pre workout. I mean, right now,
- 9:32Speaker 1: you know he has all those things. But when he started,
- 9:36Speaker 1: he started with what he had, and he started with
- 9:40Speaker 1: one thing and he became master at that one thing.
- 9:44Speaker 1: And like I said, when you start chasing all the
- 9:47Speaker 1: excitement that goes along with whatever it may be, whether
- 9:50Speaker 1: it's money, a business, I don't know what it is
- 9:53Speaker 1: that you have that you are working towards, but I
- 9:57Speaker 1: encourage you not to chase the excitement of it, because
- 10:01Speaker 1: the excitement eventually is going to die and you're going
- 10:04Speaker 1: to be left waiting for the next thrill. And I
- 10:08Speaker 1: promise you consistency won't provide that for you. Consistency don't
- 10:12Speaker 1: rock like that. So if you're looking for a thrill,
- 10:15Speaker 1: you're not going to get it with consistency. And consistency
- 10:19Speaker 1: is where ninety percent of your success lies. That's the
- 10:24Speaker 1: crazy part about it. So if you don't allow yourself
- 10:28Speaker 1: to unearth how you've thought about this, how you've planted
- 10:33Speaker 1: seeds about this, and how you need to come into
- 10:37Speaker 1: a new not even understanding an overstanding of what consistency is,
- 10:44Speaker 1: you are going to be disappointed. You know, Consistency is
- 10:53Speaker 1: in the mundane. Like I said with my workouts, it's
- 10:55Speaker 1: wake up the same time every day, get into a
- 10:58Speaker 1: movement pattern. Maybe it's financial habits. Maybe you're cutting stuff out,
- 11:03Speaker 1: or you're bringing stuff in, or you're saving more, you
- 11:06Speaker 1: set up a direct deposit. I don't know, but it
- 11:09Speaker 1: is a consistent action. You know, you think about people
- 11:15Speaker 1: who for example, let's talk about investment, right, you know,
- 11:20Speaker 1: say you want to set up a roth Ira account, Right,
- 11:24Speaker 1: you want to set it and forget it. It's going
- 11:26Speaker 1: to compound on the interest. But you got to make this.
- 11:30Speaker 1: You have to make the consistent deposit into that account
- 11:35Speaker 1: for it to grow. And it's the same thing each
- 11:38Speaker 1: and every month. Right, It's the same action each and
- 11:41Speaker 1: every month. But the key is to be consistent. That
- 11:45Speaker 1: is going to get you into the flow. The other
- 11:48Speaker 1: thing about consistency is that it is routine. And what
- 11:54Speaker 1: I mean by that is I think a lot of
- 11:56Speaker 1: times when people think about what that ninety percent is,
- 12:02Speaker 1: they think you think that you need to innovate and
- 12:07Speaker 1: you need to create along the way. And I'm here
- 12:11Speaker 1: to tell you that no. Consistency doesn't need you to
- 12:15Speaker 1: be creative. Consistency needs you to be committed. Not creative,
- 12:21Speaker 1: but committed. Because the thing about it is that reinvention
- 12:27Speaker 1: again goes against the mastery. When you start reinventing your
- 12:32Speaker 1: process and you're like, well, i'm gonna do it this way,
- 12:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna go this time, i'm gonna switch it up
- 12:37Speaker 1: this week, I'm gonna do that. When you start changing
- 12:40Speaker 1: up the plan and changing up the process, you're creating distractions,
- 12:46Speaker 1: and the fastest way to fall off the track, the
- 12:50Speaker 1: fastest way to be derailed from what it is that
- 12:53Speaker 1: you intend to do is to have distractions. And so
- 12:57Speaker 1: that's why consistency is important to keep you aligned to
- 13:02Speaker 1: the process so you mitigate the number of distractions you're
- 13:07Speaker 1: gonna be faced with so you can get things done.
- 13:11Speaker 1: A coach said this to me once and is stuck
- 13:13Speaker 1: with me. Done is better than perfect. Okay, done is
- 13:19Speaker 1: better than perfect, and getting done means being consistent along
- 13:27Speaker 1: the way. One thing about doing it that way is
- 13:31Speaker 1: that you're building a routine, and routine gets a bad reputation.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Oh you do this, and sometimes you hear even people
- 13:39Speaker 1: that you love and people that love you complain about
- 13:42Speaker 1: the fact that you have a routine. You do the
- 13:44Speaker 1: same thing every single day. And it's like, yeah, I
- 13:48Speaker 1: need to do that, I need to create that. And
- 13:53Speaker 1: it's not stagnation. I want you to get that clear again.
- 13:56Speaker 1: This is the unearthing of how you've been thinking about consistency.
- 14:00Speaker 1: You think about it as it's stagnant. I do this
- 14:04Speaker 1: the exact No, you're creating a routine because routine does
- 14:08Speaker 1: a few things. Number one, it creates safety. It creates
- 14:13Speaker 1: a safety mechanism pre built okay, because you have it
- 14:18Speaker 1: down to a fail safe process. The next thing about
- 14:23Speaker 1: having a routine is that for a lot of people,
- 14:27Speaker 1: for a lot of you, you need to have less
- 14:32Speaker 1: decision points along the way. If you have too many
- 14:36Speaker 1: decision points, you're gonna choose different because we get bored
- 14:41Speaker 1: going back to what you don't we feel in the process,
- 14:44Speaker 1: and so less decision points means you're reducing decision fatigue.
- 14:51Speaker 1: One of the things that got me consistent, and I've
- 14:54Speaker 1: mentioned this before and I'm gonna say it again because
- 14:56Speaker 1: it's the best advice I was given, and so every
- 14:58Speaker 1: chance I get, I get give this advice. Is every
- 15:02Speaker 1: single night. One of the first things I do when
- 15:05Speaker 1: I get home from work, because I go to the
- 15:06Speaker 1: gym every day at five am, I set the clothes
- 15:10Speaker 1: out for the gym right then and there. It is
- 15:14Speaker 1: a routine thing that I do. It is a very
- 15:17Speaker 1: simple thing that I do. And what that does in
- 15:20Speaker 1: the morning, whether I'm waking up on time, because everybody
- 15:24Speaker 1: has a day where you're running laid or alarmed then
- 15:28Speaker 1: go off or whatever, I don't have to have a
- 15:31Speaker 1: decision point to say, oh my gosh, I need to
- 15:34Speaker 1: find something to wear to the gym. And so therefore
- 15:37Speaker 1: I'm setting myself up for success the night before and
- 15:42Speaker 1: minimizing the number of decision points I'm gonna have the
- 15:47Speaker 1: next morning. I set it up so I have no
- 15:49Speaker 1: decision fatigue. In the morning, I can get up and
- 15:53Speaker 1: know that everything I need is in front of me.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I can brush my teeth, throw my clothes on, and
- 15:59Speaker 1: get out the door. When you have multiple decision points,
- 16:04Speaker 1: that's where distractions come in, and that's how we get derailed.
- 16:09Speaker 1: What routine does for you is it helps you to
- 16:14Speaker 1: build trust with you. You are the most important project person,
- 16:22Speaker 1: thing that's going to be and happen in your life.
- 16:27Speaker 1: You need you. You need to trust that what you
- 16:31Speaker 1: say you're going to do, you will execute on. Because
- 16:36Speaker 1: what that does is that builds a momentum and it
- 16:40Speaker 1: becomes a snowball effect that you are doing the things
- 16:45Speaker 1: that you need to do to set your future self
- 16:48Speaker 1: up for where he or she is going to go.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And that is the flex As they say in the
- 16:55Speaker 1: culture right, the truth here is you do you don't
- 17:00Speaker 1: need a new method. You need something you can repeat,
- 17:06Speaker 1: and that is why I always say to people, stop
- 17:10Speaker 1: trying to do the most. Find a thing. If all
- 17:15Speaker 1: you can do is you restart your gym journey, you
- 17:19Speaker 1: restart your movement journey, You restart your fitness journey. Is
- 17:23Speaker 1: go to the gym and walk on the treadmill for
- 17:26Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Do that. That is repeatable. See what happens
- 17:33Speaker 1: is you get to the gym, you saw an amazing
- 17:36Speaker 1: workout on Instagram, and it's not repeatable, and you try it,
- 17:41Speaker 1: and you might feel silly doing it, because the first
- 17:43Speaker 1: time you do something you've never done before, you feel
- 17:45Speaker 1: silly at it, especially when you're doing it in front
- 17:47Speaker 1: of strangers, which that's what the gym is full of strangers.
- 17:51Speaker 1: And then you just quit because you feel silly, You
- 17:54Speaker 1: look silly, you don't want to do it. It's not repeatable.
- 17:57Speaker 1: You do it one time, you never do it again,
- 18:00Speaker 1: you lose trust in yourself. You see how this works.
- 18:04Speaker 1: It's best to find the thing that helps you get
- 18:07Speaker 1: back on track. Now. Once you get back on track
- 18:09Speaker 1: and you start doing your studies, which is something my
- 18:11Speaker 1: husband did which I thought was remarkable. He started looking
- 18:15Speaker 1: for what am I trying to build? Once he got
- 18:18Speaker 1: a routine. Once he set himself up with self trust,
- 18:22Speaker 1: he started looking for what am I really trying to do? Now?
- 18:26Speaker 1: What's the end goal? But you got to start somewhere,
- 18:29Speaker 1: and that somewhere is consistency, and that is the key,
- 18:36Speaker 1: you know, consistency. It always feels hard, but it isn't.
- 18:42Speaker 1: It feels hard for all the reasons I said. It
- 18:44Speaker 1: feels hard because we are chasing the excitement. When you
- 18:49Speaker 1: start chasing something, you get tired, and it's really hard
- 18:54Speaker 1: to try to execute on your goals and your dreams
- 18:57Speaker 1: when you're exhausted, and that's what you're doing when you're
- 18:59Speaker 1: run these things down. Okay, it also feels hard because
- 19:04Speaker 1: you feel like I have to create a new system.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I have to create a new way. No, you don't. Yes,
- 19:12Speaker 1: When people are creating, there's a lot of brainstorming sessions
- 19:16Speaker 1: and a lot of time spent the meeting for the meeting.
- 19:20Speaker 1: That's what you're doing. So yes, it feels hard because
- 19:22Speaker 1: you're not getting anywhere. You're having a meeting for the meeting.
- 19:25Speaker 1: You're creating a new thing for a new thing for
- 19:28Speaker 1: the next thing, and you're not living in the moment
- 19:33Speaker 1: and being present and consistent so yes, consistency in those scenarios,
- 19:39Speaker 1: it feels hard because you're attaching to it perfection, which
- 19:44Speaker 1: we talked about already, Done is better than perfect. I'm
- 19:50Speaker 1: going to keep repeating that for the people in the
- 19:52Speaker 1: back and the people on the sides, and the people
- 19:55Speaker 1: walking into the auditorium. Done is better than perfect. But
- 19:59Speaker 1: what we do with consistency, it feels heavy on us.
- 20:02Speaker 1: It feels heavy on you. Is that you want to
- 20:05Speaker 1: be perfect when you go to the gym for the
- 20:07Speaker 1: first time, or when you start saving money, when you
- 20:10Speaker 1: slip up and you, oh my gosh, I made a
- 20:13Speaker 1: Starbucks purchase and I shouldn't have done that. Okay, don't
- 20:17Speaker 1: do it the next time. We fixate on that imperfection
- 20:24Speaker 1: and we want everything to be perfect. Then we think
- 20:26Speaker 1: if it's not perfect, then we can't do it, and
- 20:28Speaker 1: then you stop, and then you're in this crazy cycle.
- 20:31Speaker 1: So yeah, we also attached to consistency. A pressure, a
- 20:35Speaker 1: pressure to get it right, a pressure to do it
- 20:37Speaker 1: every day, a pressure for this and a pressure for that.
- 20:40Speaker 1: And here's the thing, and I'm gonna say this because
- 20:45Speaker 1: somebody needs to hear this. I had when I had
- 20:52Speaker 1: my one hundred and fiftieth episode. I had a guest
- 20:56Speaker 1: on this the first time I had a guest, and
- 20:58Speaker 1: it was a very exciting time because we talked a
- 21:01Speaker 1: lot about growth and consistency and things of that nature.
- 21:09Speaker 1: And one of the things that we talked about that
- 21:13Speaker 1: my guests had mentioned and it was just a perfect
- 21:16Speaker 1: way to help us in this conversation today of reframing
- 21:21Speaker 1: and unearthing how we see consistency. And she talked about
- 21:25Speaker 1: going into a season of rest and the way she
- 21:30Speaker 1: spoke about it and the way she spoke about consistency
- 21:35Speaker 1: actually in that season of rest is that every day
- 21:39Speaker 1: looks different for her in her consistency. And it started
- 21:45Speaker 1: making me think a little bit about how when we
- 21:50Speaker 1: say that, people get uncomfortable because they think consistency for
- 21:56Speaker 1: me and for you and for everyone has to almost
- 21:59Speaker 1: look similar. And I was having a conversation with my
- 22:03Speaker 1: daughter about her plants. She has all these different plants,
- 22:07Speaker 1: a money tree, a fig leaf tree, and all these
- 22:10Speaker 1: different trees and plants that she has a green thumb.
- 22:14Speaker 1: The girl knows how to grow some plants. But here's
- 22:16Speaker 1: why she knows, because she understands that each plant requires
- 22:23Speaker 1: a different level of consistency how often it's watered. Some
- 22:30Speaker 1: require water once or twice a week, while others can
- 22:34Speaker 1: wait a week before it's watered. Another plant, she said,
- 22:38Speaker 1: sometimes is more effective to wait a few weeks or
- 22:42Speaker 1: two weeks or so before it's watered. So consistency for
- 22:46Speaker 1: plant A looks different from consistency for plant B and
- 22:51Speaker 1: so on. But at the end of the day, the
- 22:54Speaker 1: activity is consistent. She's consistently maintaining what these plants need.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Some can be moved across the room, others have to
- 23:03Speaker 1: stay in the same place because of the placement of
- 23:05Speaker 1: the light that comes into her room, the natural light
- 23:07Speaker 1: from the sun, from the daylight. These things are important
- 23:11Speaker 1: when you think about your journey of consistency. What do
- 23:15Speaker 1: you need because it's going to look different from the
- 23:19Speaker 1: other person. You know. One thing I like about my
- 23:22Speaker 1: gym is that our trainer on. You know, during the
- 23:27Speaker 1: week we have boot camp and you know, everybody set
- 23:29Speaker 1: up in the boot camp, but within the boot camp
- 23:34Speaker 1: she has different groups or sets, and this is simply
- 23:38Speaker 1: based on your performance in again the assessment when we
- 23:45Speaker 1: you know, kind of check in with our start of
- 23:49Speaker 1: camp and end of camp, like how much did you grow,
- 23:52Speaker 1: Did you grow from I'm sorry? From green team, Blue team,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. That helps that change,
- 24:00Speaker 1: which is how you exercise or what she showcases that
- 24:04Speaker 1: you should do with the exercise, whether you're doing a modified,
- 24:08Speaker 1: you're doing the standard, or you're doing an advanced. That's
- 24:12Speaker 1: how consistency works for each person in that session, same session,
- 24:19Speaker 1: same hour, different workout for the consistency needed for that
- 24:24Speaker 1: body type, for the way that person exudes their strength.
- 24:29Speaker 1: These things matter. She couldn't take the people that were
- 24:34Speaker 1: just getting started and throw them into an advanced workout
- 24:39Speaker 1: because that wouldn't work for them. And I think a
- 24:42Speaker 1: lot of you try to go from beginning or your
- 24:47Speaker 1: starting point trying to work at what someone is at
- 24:52Speaker 1: their end point or they've been doing this for months,
- 24:55Speaker 1: for weeks, for years, and they have arrived at an
- 24:58Speaker 1: advanced version. The formula to consistency is also and why
- 25:04Speaker 1: it feels hard is that you're starting in places that
- 25:08Speaker 1: you shouldn't. So it doesn't feel right, it doesn't fit right,
- 25:12Speaker 1: and so it's so important that to simplify this, to
- 25:18Speaker 1: simplify consistency, there's some things I want you to do.
- 25:24Speaker 1: I want you to show up. I want you to
- 25:27Speaker 1: show up most of the time. And here's what I mean.
- 25:30Speaker 1: There are days and I had to come to peace
- 25:34Speaker 1: with myself on this. I had to trust myself on
- 25:37Speaker 1: this that I was doing the right thing for me,
- 25:40Speaker 1: that I realized I needed to rest this day. Now
- 25:43Speaker 1: that doesn't that doesn't that doesn't blow up my plan.
- 25:47Speaker 1: It doesn't destroy my consistency. It just says, for me,
- 25:51Speaker 1: for this particular day, I needed rest, and then I
- 25:55Speaker 1: could come back and go back into the repeat again.
- 25:58Speaker 1: See what happens when you negate that and you try
- 26:02Speaker 1: to just live up to this perfectionism. You can put
- 26:06Speaker 1: yourself down for weeks at a time just by going
- 26:08Speaker 1: beyond your limits. Focus on showing up most of the time.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And I know that feels counteractive, But what we're doing
- 26:18Speaker 1: today is we're unearthing. We are going from understanding it,
- 26:22Speaker 1: going from under it to overstanding it. Okay, what a
- 26:26Speaker 1: lot of people tend to do, what you've probably done,
- 26:28Speaker 1: is when you have found your consistent pattern and something
- 26:32Speaker 1: has derailed it, you beat yourself up and you don't
- 26:36Speaker 1: return back to that repeatable process faster. And what I'm
- 26:41Speaker 1: saying to you to simplify it you return faster after
- 26:44Speaker 1: the falloff. Don't let a moment, a situation, a misstep
- 26:51Speaker 1: take you out of the game. You can get right
- 26:53Speaker 1: back in the next day. The last thing I'm gonna
- 26:57Speaker 1: say to you, and I had this conversation with my
- 27:00Speaker 1: this week, is do what you said you would do,
- 27:03Speaker 1: even though it's boring, even though you don't want to
- 27:06Speaker 1: do it. Because a lot of times you make a
- 27:10Speaker 1: plan and then you get comfortable and then you say,
- 27:15Speaker 1: you know what, I don't feel like doing it, I'll
- 27:16Speaker 1: do it another day. Whenever you think that way, I
- 27:21Speaker 1: want you to still show up. I want you to
- 27:24Speaker 1: still show up because I promise you whatever it is,
- 27:27Speaker 1: I've been using the exercise as the example, but it
- 27:31Speaker 1: could be anything. I want you to still show up
- 27:34Speaker 1: with your finances to be true to that. I want
- 27:38Speaker 1: you to still show up in your relationships even though
- 27:40Speaker 1: you don't feel like it, because what you're doing is
- 27:46Speaker 1: what you said you would do and your self trust
- 27:51Speaker 1: and as you're building relationships with others, trusting and having
- 27:57Speaker 1: other people trust you are very very important. I'm excited
- 28:04Speaker 1: for how you are going to get better at consistency.
- 28:10Speaker 1: The thing is most of you are not failing because
- 28:13Speaker 1: you're incapable of consistency. You failed because you have been
- 28:20Speaker 1: over complicating what is supposed to look like, and what
- 28:24Speaker 1: it's supposed to look like is repeatability, simplicity, and self trust.
