Consistency
The long term is not just what you eat today but what you eat today, tomorrow, and the next day. What you can do today is to start that long-term consistency. Some folks like to call it a habit. And that’s the most comfortable way, if what you’re trying to do actually becomes a habit because we don’t tend to think so much about habits.
We tend to just act on autopilot if you will. Now, outliers certainly will happen, but mostly what we need is to be on target most of the time. Now, I’m not talking once in a while, occasionally, or even half the time. True consistency needs to build to a level where it’s like 90% or better. You know, in a month there are 30 days.
So in 30 days, if you make good decisions that are helpful to you, helpful to your movement, helpful to your nutrition, say 27 out of those 30 days, that’s gonna be a consistent quality month that’s gonna push you towards your goals. But if you get less than those 27 days, oh, it’s three out of four days, or it’s half the days, or it’s at least a couple of times per week.
That’s not gonna cut it. That’s not consistency. You’re being consistently inconsistent. That’s not what we’re shooting for. Now, we also don’t need perfection. You do not need to have a streak of where you keep under your carbohydrate goal for 400 days without a single break. No, you don’t need that. You don’t need to close your Apple Watch rings or go to the gym every day for six months without a break.
No, you don’t need that. What you need is, unless some planned or completely unavoidable thing happens, you do what you know to be helpful to you in reaching your goals. Now, as I said, it’s important not just for your eating and movement, you can apply this to anything that you’re trying to change or improve on in your life.
