Whether it is keeping your New Year's resolutions, getting to the gym 4 days a week, staying with that new meal plan, getting to bed earlier so that you can get up earlier or making those Sunday night family phone calls, consistency can make all the difference. Whether you want to accomplish something important to you, form a new habit or get rid of an old one, consistency (along with determination) will either put you over the goal line or sink you long before you get there.
Most of us struggle with consistency, primarily because staying the same is so very much easier than changing (especially for us older folks). The power of our habits, even those we don't particularly like, is hard to overestimate. Consistent effort, much more-so than massive effort, is often the key to progress.
But what to do if we struggle to be consistent? Here are five research backed principles that can help you.
