Consistency is not the problem, YOU ARE! Solo-cast with Nick Quinton

**WHY CONSISTENCY IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM**

 

 

.

OK, so, I have lots of chats with prospective clients and, surprise, surprise, they all sound pretty similar.

.

I just need a couple of session to get me started, or get me back into it, and I will be fine (my minimum commitment for a new client is 8 weeks!).

Sound familiar? The truth is you left your plan to be fit or [fill in the blank] for a very good reason. The problem was you 'got' busy and couldn't be consistent, you have been 'busy' and, oh sh*t, it's summer soon I need to get to the gym!

Hmmm, so we like to fall back to, "I just need to BE consistent in..."

Nope, honestly, consistency is not the problem. It is a lack of being consistent in the things you cannot be consistent with.

What do I mean?

If you're "dieting", you cannot be consistent with that, short term, not fun or enjoyable process, you cannot remain consistent with that way of acting as it is in-congruent. On a deep level it is not what you want to be doing, deprivation is not going to work, yet we think it will work.

Very few people are built to things that way..Spoiler alert, you are not one of them.

Something to try: Instead of looking for perfect, consistent action...try to take congruent action that is intrinsic to who you are. And, if you find the congruent action (10 pints an curry 5 times a week) is causing the problems then that is your first point for change.
