Hello there , and welcome to another edition of the Sunday Slow Down.

This is the one-year mark of the beginning of the Slow Living Podcast and the start of this weekly newsletter.

I am so glad that you are here.

This week's newsletter is about being consistent -- even when you don't really want to.

Because we are not robots. It's wonderful to make grand resolutions and decide to take on a new task, hobby, or endeavor but it's something else to just Keep Going -- especially when you are tired, worn-out, defeated, and broken down.

So how do you do that?

How do you honor the commitments you've made to yourself?

(PS: I'm only talking about commitments you've made to yourself, here --- the commitments you've made to other people are much easier to keep)

How do you keep moving forward when you just don't feel like it?

First off, while grand gestures are AWESOME -- part of living a Slow Life is taking the time to decide what it is you really (really) want --

and then make a plan to get there -- one baby step at a time.

Trust in yourself and trust in your future that you will be more fulfilled and proud of yourself if you just keep doing whatever it is that you said you were going to do.

over and over again.

If you need help with this, reach out to me. I've been coaching for a few years now, and I'm really good at being another pair of "eyes" on your brain. Together we can uncover whatever the thing is that is holding you back --

Consider yourself loved and hugged. I think you are wonderful.

⚪ episode #52 of the Slow Living Podcast is all about "The Power of Consistency."

In honor of the 1-year birthday of the Slow Living Podcast, I recorded this episode for you --

In a nutshell, Being Consistent when you don't want to is an AWFUL LOT LIKE PARENTING WHEN YOU ARE TIRED.

You just do the thing you said you were going to do, even when you don't feel like it.

even when you're tired.

even if it isn't your "best work" ---

and trust that just by taking the teeny tiny baby steps forward, no matter what those steps look like, will get you where you want to go.

I promise you that I am no different and no better than you.

I get tired and I get cranky and I would much rather curl up on the couch and binge-watch Southern Charm and yell at Shep and Craig ---

but.

I promised myself and I promised YOU that I would keep showing up and recording these podcasts and I promised my coaching clients that I would keep listening and advising and helping and supporting.

So I keep doing the things I said I would do.

Consistency is my super power.

Listen in and learn how you, too, can make it yours.

;-)

If you need help, reach out. I am happy to hop on a call with you.
