Key Takeaways:

There is no great secret to consistency. It comes down to small, boring habits repeated often.

Weaving healthy habits into your lifestyle can be tricky because you need the energy, time, motivation, and the incentive.

Consistency comes down to frequency and repetition.

Understanding your non-negotiables is the key to maintaining consistency in your health and wellness.

Don’t over complicate your non-negotiables - aim for four max to keep it manageable.

The secret is in keeping it simple. Don’t get caught up in biohacking and testing. It’s the small things that lead to great impact.

Intersections, such as merging listening to an educational podcast while exercising, can help you stay consistent and also keep healthy habits fun.

Small repetitions add up. Take the moments you have when you can to work towards your goal, whether that’s just before bed or while the kettle is boiling.

Action Steps:

If you want to increase your consistency:

1. Create non-negotiables. Aim for four health non-negotiables and stick to them daily.

2. Keep it simple. Don’t over complicate things. Keep your non-negotiables straightforward and easy to execute.

3. Intersections. Try merging important aspects of your health together to increase effective use of your time and keep it fun.

4. Stacking. Don’t feel like you have to do it all at once. Meet your goals in small steps throughout the day, if needed.

5. Have a strong motivating factor. Whether it’s a drive for greater longevity or a recent health scare, get anchored to what will keep you going when consistency feels difficult.

Leanne said:

“I’d summarize the next ten minutes with one thing: it’s small, boring stuff done often. That is essentially what consistency is all about.”

“Little changes, when combined with time, that’s what creates impact. That’s what creates consistency. So, keep it simple. Keep the non-negotiables simple. Keep all the other stuff simple.”
