Steph's Ripples

This is a term I have come across very often. The benefits of being consistent. The importance of being consistent. The reasons to be consistent. Well, for one, I have tried times and again to be consistent. I don't even think it has to do with routine. It's simply the ability to keep at doing something, through rough and tough, not only during the good days, but also during the less good ones. It's about doing the thing even if you don't feel like it. It is also a question of priorities. Distractions are daily occurrences that we cannot avoid (also excuses to procrastinate).

Let's take for example, I want to post daily but sometimes I get too tired, I can't bother to switch on my pc or mostly, I get caught up in other daily matters. One way to deal with consistency problem is planning. Plan the tasks into your schedule and stick to it. The problem is that I tend to be a flexible person. I always allow myself a buffer and don't like to put too much pressure on myself. I want life to run smoothly, organically and freely. I don't like imposing myself because I believe that we all have negative reactions to pressure, or applied force.  Now it sounds so paradoxical. I think the best way to deal with consistency is to...
