What Does Consistency Mean?
Consistency is about being dependable and regular in your actions, thoughts, and decisions. It means doing things the same way over time, with predictability and reliability. When you're consistent, you build trust in yourself.
Think of consistency like planting seeds. You don't just plant them once and forget about them—you water them regularly, nurture them, and give them time to grow. Consistency is what you do to reach your goals, even when life gets busy and demanding.
The Benefits of Being Consistent
Consistency offers numerous benefits. Here are 5 of the main ones:

Builds Trust: People know they can count on you when you're consistent. Consistency helps build trust with your kids, partner, or friends. Trust is super important in any good relationship.
Creates Stability: Being consistent makes life feel more steady. It keeps you focused and calm, even when things get complicated.
It Encourages Self-Discipline. Staying consistent means sticking to your plans, even when you don't feel like it. Consistency helps you develop self-discipline, which is key to reaching big goals.

This 1% rule shows consistency can lead to incredible progress, even in small steps.
Reduces Stress: When you're consistent, you know what to expect. Consistency reduces the stress that comes from uncertainty or last-minute changes.
