A Wren Says

I’m still in the “new year” mindset, possibly fueled by all of the content all over social media pushing me to believe this will be my best year yet. But now two weeks into the new year, it doesn’t feel that way. I started with big scary goals, but the effort to match just isn’t there. I wonder what’s going on, why it is so difficult to get on track to my goals. But this is the thing I need to remember:

Consistency is a choice.

Making movement towards my goals will require consistency. The problem is that consistency doesn’t just happen one day. It is the product of multiple choices that stack up over time. It is a choice to do the things that will move me forward day in and day out. It is the choice to do my workout, to go to bed on time, to stay on task, to do what I know what I should. I am already making the choice to remain consistent with all the things that are keeping me from reaching my goals. It’s time for me to choose differently.
