Embracing the Bread Crumbs of Consistency

Hey, Bleu Bells,

Today, let’s talk about something I find myself wrestling with: consistency. Now, this isn’t about grand gestures or life-altering changes. Nope. It’s about those small, almost insignificant bread crumbs of consistency that slowly but surely pave the path to where we want to be.

I’ll be honest with you—I sometimes feel floundering. There are days when the past seems so alluring that I lose sight of what I’m accomplishing here and now. It’s easy to toss my hands up and retreat into solitude, overwhelmed by the pressure I put on myself. I often think, “I should be further along by now.” Sound familiar?

But here’s the crux: these tiny acts of consistency are my lifeline. Whether it’s jotting down thoughts for my blog or simply ensuring I’m present in what I’m creating, these moments build the future I dream about. Yes, consistency is a tough gig. It’s a practice and a lifestyle that demands persistence, even when the excitement fades.

The truth? Sometimes, consistency feels like a chore. Do I have to drag myself to write or reflect, even on days when I’d rather do anything else? The answer is a resounding YES. Every little step in the right direction counts, even when it doesn’t feel monumental.

I liken it to the simple act of wearing underwear (stick with me here!). We don’t think twice about putting it on daily; it’s second nature, right? That’s how I’m starting to treat my writing and commitment to this blog. It’s becoming part of my daily routine, non-negotiable and essential, just like my underwear!

So, if you’re struggling with consistency, know you’re not alone. It’s not about perfecting it overnight; it’s about recognizing its value and making peace with the incremental progress. It’s about setting a pace that makes the journey enjoyable rather than just a series of checkboxes.

Let’s promise to appreciate these breadcrumbs of consistency. They might seem small and scattered now, but together, they’re leading us to the feast of success. And trust me, it feels incredible to look back and see how far those little steps have taken us.

Here’s to building habits persistence and turning our everyday actions into the fabric of our dreams. Keep laying down those crumbs, and let’s walk this path together, one small, steady step at a time.

Cheers to the journey,

Shay 💙

Keep smiling Shay, this is only the beginning.
