Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|Productivity Why Can't I Stay Consistent?
Today we are talking about how to Turn a Lack of Self-Discipline and Willpower into Success and Fulfillment by being more Consistent.
“I'll start tomorrow.” “Just this one time won't hurt.” “I'm too tired.” We've all uttered these phrases at some point, battling the inner tug-of-war between our aspirations and actions. The struggle for self-discipline and willpower is universal, often leaving us wondering, “Why can't I stay consistent?”
The good news is, this isn't a life sentence. Understanding the issue's root and implementing practical strategies can and will transform this struggle into a catalyst for personal growth and lasting fulfillment for you.
Self-discipline and willpower are like muscles – they can be strengthened with training; however, they also get tired.

What makes some people seemingly more “disciplined” than others? It's not just about innate willpower. It's about understanding your triggers, setting realistic goals (with a bit of a stretch), and having strategies to overcome obstacles.
Our path to self-discipline is often littered with hidden roadblocks that trip us up before we even realize it. Let's unveil five of the most common culprits right now.
Remember, progress – no matter how small – is still progress. Celebrate your wins, learn from your setbacks, and never lose sight of the incredible potential that lies within you.
