Being Consistent
Consistency is so important when it comes to exercise. If you’ve made a goal to exercise 5 days/week – how do you maintain that habit? Here are 3 tips to help you be more consistent.
Plan, Plan, Plan.
Effective planning is the key to making that 5 min walk of 5 mile hike actually happen. People who have a habit of setting aside time for being active are far more likely to remain active down the road.
Be Flexible.
You probably already know this, but your day doesn’t always run as smoothly as you’d like. If you happen to miss a day of planned activity, make sure you find time for it the next day. Maybe make it the first thing you do when you get up. That way, you know it will get done. If there’s a bigger problem at hand, give it the priority it deserves and resolve to get back to your activity plan as soon as you can.
Think Positive.
“Can’t� is not a word. At least in my book. “I will try� sounds much better. Negative thinking or all-or-nothing thinking can be very discouraging and counterproductive when it comes to you reaching your goals. Having a positive attitude and hearing encouraging words in you head can go a long way when trying to stick with a commitment.
