Let’s break a myth. Most people think consistency means discipline, perfection, and sticking to the plan no matter what. But real consistency? It’s not rigid. It’s adaptable.
Imagine this: You’ve committed to learning gymnastics as an adult. You start strong, practicing every day. But then life happens. You’re tired, busy, or overwhelmed. What do you do? Most people would quit. But here’s the key: you don’t need to do everything perfectly, you just need to do something.
If you’re too busy, spend five minutes stretching instead of skipping the day. If you’re exhausted, choose a gentle version of your routine. And if you don’t have space or equipment, get creative—use a wall or the floor.
Consistency isn’t doing it all—it’s doing what you can, over and over again.
This is what true consistency looks like. It’s not about pushing through at full speed every day. It’s about showing up, even if it’s small. Because those small efforts? They compound.
Over time, those 5-minute stretches, those scaled-down routines, and those creative solutions add up. And suddenly, you find yourself stronger, more flexible, and more confident—not because you were perfect, but because you were adaptable.
Consistency isn’t about doing it all. It’s about doing what you can, over and over again. And that’s how progress is made.
