Consistency.
You may have noticed by now that I have committed to blogging everyday in the year 2022. It is currently 7.12pm and I just started this post. It is only the 5th of January, so you can imagine that if on day 5/365, I’m flagging, this isn’t going to be easy.
As someone that loves to read and research people’s stories, the one thing that’s common to every single story that can be defined as a success story is that they were consistent. It’s at the base of every single story. I think the mistake I always made in thinking about consistency before was that I saw consistency as the destination instead of the vehicle to get there. So in my mind, once I hacked consistency, everything I wanted or needed would naturally flow and it would automatically compound itself. No.
Consistency helps you to get past the initial thought and process hurdles to get to the thoughts and processes that you should actually be thinking about, but here’s the thing- you probably won’t even know what you’re supposed to be thinking about until you’re consistent.
I want to dig deep into this and talk about it some more with examples and stories and things that make you walk away feeling like, you know what? damn…that babe really spoke to me.
But I’m tired and I’m showing up to say a few things:
figure out what you can be consistent at and commit to it. Commit to it without thinking of the outcome, because you can’t control that, at least not at first. I can say “oh at the end of my 365 posts, my readership would have grown exponentially”, but I don’t know if that’s true at all. It’s going to take more than simply posting every day for 365 days for that to happen. However, I can’t tell you what else it would take because I simply need to get consistent and structured first.
In June of 2021, I decided to start a series on Instagram called Monday Musings, where I posted some words of wisdom/ random thoughts every Monday. I’m happy to say that I haven’t missed a Monday yet since then and I recently decided to expand on some of the more popular posts and put them in a nice, affordable e-book that you can pre-order now. It will be released on Monday, 10th January 2022.
Here’s a selection of musings
It’s 8.16pm and I’ve shown up for my blog for the day! pre-order the e-book and see you tomorrow!
Also, please leave me comments on posts you’d like to see me write.
