Why Quick Fixes Fail and What Actually Works Part 2: Building Consistency

So, how do you build consistency and establish habits over time?

You start with a small change—just one.

For instance, if you want to begin a new exercise routine, don’t jump straight into a five-day-a-week program. Start with just one strength training session per week, and then add a second session. After that, you can include a day of cardio and gradually increase your workouts.

When I say "build that up," I mean you should commit to one strength training session a week for three months. This approach applies to various aspects of your health, including your exercise, nutrition, sleep, mental health, and social interactions. All these factors are part of your health journey, and you’re working to find balance among them.

However, we can't change everything at once. It's important to focus on one area at a time.

So, keep everything else in your life consistent and make that one small change. I would love to hear about the small change you want to start with!
