Secret Strategies For Staying Consistent This Year Ep 73
About this episode
We often begin the new year with motivation, clarity, and big intentions — and then somewhere along the way, momentum fades.
Procrastination creeps in.
We apply more pressure.
And instead of moving forward, we find ourselves stuck.
In this episode, I’m sharing secret strategies for staying consistent - and it has far less to do with discipline or willpower than you’ve been led to believe.
We explore why consistency breaks down at the nervous system level, how pressure and self-criticism can push us into freeze mode, and what actually helps us follow through on the changes we care about.
You’ll learn:
- Why motivation alone doesn’t create consistency
- How your nervous system influences procrastination and follow-through
- The role of self-compassion in sustainable change
- Why “low and slow” creates momentum that lasts
- How to approach goals in a way that feels supportive rather than heavy
This episode is for anyone who wants to move forward this year - without burning out, forcing themselves, or giving up when things get hard.
