The Importance of Consistency in Skill Development

Consistency is crucial when developing new skills or emotional resilience. The speaker emphasizes that achieving results, much like weight loss or fitness gains, requires a sustained effort rather than sporadic attempts. For instance, attempting meditation a few times without seeing immediate benefits may lead to frustration, similar to going to the gym only once and expecting significant weight loss. Understanding that gradual progress builds over time encourages a more patient and committed approach to self-improvement, whether through meditation, breath work, or fitness routines.
