Funny how last edition was about Consistency and then I proceeded to miss last week’s update. 😅
Today I wanted to talk about its counterpart … inconsistency 🤓
Bdina ?
Markets Overview
Allowing yourself to F-up …
When starting a new hobby or skill you usually want to be as consistent as can be.
Consistency will build discipline and it will make you better at whatever you are trying to master.
For example if you want to start running, you will probably run every week, 3 times a week.
But what happens when you suddenly get sick ? Should you keep running ?
Or maybe you want to start saving money each month, you’ll probably put X Dhs every first Monday of the month.
But then what will you do when you drop your phone and it costs you X Dhs to repair/replace it ? Do you stop saving ? Do you borrow money ?
Being consistent and progressing is not linear.
No human being wakes up everyday feeling STRICTLY better than last day.
This is true in Money. This is true in Relationships. This is true in Health.
This is true in every aspect of life.
So don’t be hard on yourself, you’re allowed to F-up …
… and bounce back.
This is a recurrent thing among quitters and I’m sure you know lots of stories like this :
You have a friend … That friend starts learning a new skill, sport or hobby.
Something happens … That person quits … forever.
Let me share with you a story that happens to me every week :
Most Tuesdays I go back home using apps like InDrive because I already did my steps for the day in the gym.
And drivers always like to strike a conversation about fitness when they see me in fitness gear.
I get the usual “aah sport walaaaabudda” “fach knt sghir knt sportif” and it is always followed by “walakine (Insert Excuse)”.
But then why after all these years you never got back to this thing you knew was good for you and that you loved doing ?
Being consistent IS allowing yourself to mess up from time to time but bounce back as soon as everything is healed or gets back to normal.
A bit of a short one, but this week (I won’t promise) you guys will get an update on what has been going on lately. I’m very excited to share with you new things I’ve been working on.
That’s it for this Monday.
