Inconsistency kills your fortitude, according to former marine and mental toughness coach Andrew Wittman.
“Doing well for a few weeks, then coasting … then feeling bad enough to start doing well again for a few weeks, then backsliding some more,” he stated, according to Yahoo News.
Wittman explained that this rule can apply in any area of your life, whether it be in the trenches, at the office desk or while just trying to be a better parent at home.
According to Wittman, inconsistency is the biggest challenge most of his clients face while trying to improve their lives. That cycle of motivation, coasting and sliding is an easy trap to fall into, and can make self-improvement feel impossible. In the end, it’s what leaves many people “in worse shape than at the beginning,” Wittman stated.
Wittman offered more advice in his upcoming book, Seven Secrets of Resilience for Parents.
