An excerpt from my notes app about what consistency means to me 👉 Bring your daily average up.
Consistency and emotional regulation can make the sh*tty days feel less like you're spiraling.
On this day I felt "meh" - bloated and watery, low energy- signs that could be misinterpreted as a loss in progress. Things that could lead to bad decisions and throwing the day away.
But I've been doing this for years and I know better, I know that's not the case. So I thought about why I felt and looked this way. I pointed out my sleep has been crap for about a week straight and my water intake wasn't the best; I identified the fix and acknowledged this was all temporary.
I got some light movement, chugged water, and went to sleep early...literally the next day I woke up feeling and looking back to myself. I could've spiraled and let it get me down mentally leading to poor decisions with nutrition and activity.
So if this is what a bad day is for me then I'd say my average is still pretty high.
My point is, those decisions you make on the sh*tty days when you're at the bottom, those decisions can take you back 20 steps or hold you steady.
The more you weave these things into your daily routine, the more you treat it like a lifestyle, the more likely you are to be better than you previous average every single day.
