How to Finally Become More Consistent With Your Habits

Start creating systems for your habits and use them until you do them without thinking.

If it wasn’t for a pandemic sweeping the nation, the end of this month would mark the 12th month I’ve been going to the gym three days per week consistently.

It’s been a massive feat for myself as up to this point it’s been difficult for me to consistently do anything with regards to my health for this long of a time. The previous time I rearranged my life habits to improve my health stemmed from a health challenge I took a few years ago. The challenge spanned six weeks.

Between these two experiences, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to build consistent habits in any area of life. All that you need to do is build a solid system of habits. Here is how to do that.

Create The Habit That You Want

The first step is an obvious one, however there is a lot that’s going on within this first step that people miss out on. For example, when we think of achieving a simple goal — like say working out more often — it often entails a series of habits that we don’t consider at all.

Most people think “Oh I only need to get to the gym and workout and I’m good.”
