Why It's So Hard To Be Consistent

Our brains are wired to value immediate rewards more than future ones, making it difficult to prioritize long-term goals.

This "future discounting" is a natural human tendency that contributes to procrastination and inconsistency. We often choose immediate gratification over actions that benefit our future selves.

To achieve consistency, we need to adopt the mindset of a temporary custodian. We are responsible for taking care of ourselves and our lives for the person who "inherits" them tomorrow.

This shift in perspective encourages us to make choices that benefit not only our present selves but also our future selves. It fosters a sense of responsibility and stewardship for our lives.

Self-compassion is crucial for making sacrifices and investing in our future well-being.

When we love and value ourselves, we are more likely to make choices that support our long-term growth and happiness. This involves treating ourselves with kindness and understanding, even when we make mistakes.
