How High Performers Handle Hard Better
You start with big plans and a ton of motivation, but then life takes over, things come up, and consistency falls off. You make exceptions, and then never fully get back on course, or when you do, you feel like you are starting over.
The reason most people don’t achieve their goals is because they aren’t able to be consistent over time.
I was on the Peloton this week, and I couldn’t come close to beating my best session output. My negative self-talk started, and then I reminded myself, it was more important to be on the bike today than what my Peloton score said.
Discipline and routine are far more important than a one-hit wonder.
Extraordinary is built on consistency.
With consistency, long term goals are prioritized over one day’s achievement.
What you do every day is more important than what you do once a month or once a year.
Consistency is a dream maker.
Lack of consistency is a dream killer.
The compound effect of consistency will have you reaching your big plans sooner.
Open next week’s calendar and look for where consistency shows up.
Your actions dictate what's most important to you and your business.
When a business is struggling, how do you know if the problem is caused by a flawed strategy or execution?
Strategy is ineffective if it is not backed by deliberate execution. Consistency in execution allows strategy the opportunity to win.
Last week I shared some insight into my Possibility Team Workshop that is about making the impossible possible.
Think big, yes!
Get there with small actions every day.
Small, but mighty overtime.
High achievers look for ways to take big leaps for exponential growth. But it’s the tiny steps that set you up for exponential growth opportunity.
It’s proven that some of the most successful people have a daily morning routine. It’s that routine that is habitual where you barely even have to think about it so you can save your energy for the bigger stuff.
Consistency builds momentum, reduces friction, giving you more energy to take the next turn and create opportunity to create the flywheel effect.
And, motivation is not a requirement when you have discipline.
What if consistency was the easiest part of your big goals?
If you want easier, it is up to you to make it easier, because big hard goals broken down to smaller incremental actions have you handling hard better.
This thought was powerfully and authentically shared in this video by Kara Lawson, Duke University’s Women’s Basketball Coach. (Thank you, Paula Rauenbuehler for sharing with me).
Discipline makes it easier.
Don’t get me wrong, life never gets easier. Life is hard.
It never gets easy, but with discipline hard gets easier.
Be the person who handles hard better.
I have a 5-regime framework for consistency that I do every week in my business. A practice I rarely miss.
I believe in my goals to the degree I commit to being consistent.

"Christina did a great job helping me surface both the vision for my life/career and also what I am most passionate about. She did not approach the work with a set agenda or outcome, but instead listened and helped me clarify my own feelings and needs surrounding work. She also challenged me to be a better self-advocate."
