Hello Miss , I'm inspired

There are two things that help me: One is to connect a new habit with an old one. If I e.g. listen to music every day because I love it, I can connect this with a chore I do not love too much and distract me. The second one is I am very patient and loving with my "I don't wanna do thiiiis!" voice. I do not tell it to shut up, but I explain why it is so much better to do it, why it will feel better and that there is always time for the voice to whine later. It takes a minute longer, but the voice actually often turns into more motivation because I figured out what the real issue was and solved it.

Success doesn’t come from something you do occasionally, it comes from what you do consistently. - golden advice

Summarizing and adding a little bit: Steps to be consistent 1) List all things you want to do. Find why you love the thing, you want to be consistent at, and then stick to it. 2) Progressively gain skills by focusing on only one at a time. 3) Schedule all of your life around the damn thing (Keep it at the top of your priority list) 4) Ignore voices in your head. 5) Don't worry and leave the practice if you miss one day or two. After sometime, that consistency will become a habit and then you can move on to next skill.

The "ignore your feelings" totally hits home for me! Not because i need to work on it, but because it is something I teach! As a musician and piano teacher, my students think that music is an emotional endeavour, but really, as you are learning the skills, it is the slow, monotonous and focused work that gets you ahead. Once the skills are mastered, THEN you can tap into the emotions and communicate the story you want through the music! Thanks for your videos, Marie! They are always encouraging and inspiring me. ❤

I'm a music education major currently working on jeux d'eau by ravel. had I not begged my teacher to let me keep this song, my senior recital would have fallen apart. this song inspires and motivates me to keep going. do you have any tips to correct bad back posture? I've mostly corrected my hand technique, but after hours of practice my back hurts and I can't go on even though I would like to.

+Betty-Alexandria Pride A couple of tricks I use are visualisations. 1. Imagine your head is a pool ball and your back is a pool cue, imagine your head (pool ball) is balancing perfectly on your neck (pool cue). this is a horseback riding technique to keep relaxed in the neck. 2. Imagine your ears are suspended by 2 threads from the ceiling. this lifts the head and helps to realign the spine. 3. A simple yoga trick -- sitting in the position you would normally sit at the piano, but without anything in front of you. Part your knees and drop your back and head between your knees. While taking slow deep breaths, roll your spine up as if you are rebuilding your spine, vertebrae by vertebrae. 4. lastly, as you are playing--are you hunching down over the keyboard? Try practicing while keeping your back upright and relaxed. Train your eyes to look down without bringing the neck down. Hope that helps!

Wow, this brings some understanding to the point. I struggled because I am also trying to learn to listen to myself more. I see what you mean when you are talking about developing the skills. Of course it isn't going to move us the same way until after we know how to make the music happen.

My five steps to be consistently consistent 1. Think positive 2. Write a to do list 3. Focus on small things because it all adds up 4. Make it a habit, the more I do it the more it becomes consistent in my life. 5. Lastly I try my hardest not to beat myself up when I fall short but to keep trying each day for better

The old adage "21 days to make a habit" is slightly inaccurate. Most humans need 25-30 days of daily reinforcement - and if you miss a day, you've got to start over. Staying focused on the end result (and taking the focus off of YOU), helps keep the momentum and ditch the fear. Also, a colleague once told me "if it's not scheduled, it's stressful." And so putting things in my calendar - and creating boundaries to reinforce those calendared events makes a big difference. But the BIGGEST thing that helps me stay consistent - or should I say person - is my accountability partner. There's no judgement, but she helps me stay on track... and we've been working together for several years now. Having someone else who has your back and wants to see you succeed - without judgement - makes a HUGE difference.

Lisa Robbin Young SO TRUE! When I was in high school and I had so many inspiring classmates, they inspired me to do more and better! Now that I'm in college, is a lot more chaotic and everyone follows their path.. it's a little less inspiring to be in an environment where everyone is very independent..

humanyoda It can shorten the process, and painful emotions are generally the most effective, because our amygdala is wired to protect us from pain, but most people don't want to re-wire their brain using painful methods (shock therapy, anyone?). Studies have also shown that it takes longer for painful emotions to subside than happy, joyful emotions, which means, more positive reinforcement is needed to counteract even one negative/disempowering emotion connected to the new neural path. That's why 25-30 days is recommended.

Stefania That's why you need to look at the "how" and not the "what" - look to how they are doing the things that inspire you, rather than the specifics. There's often crossover from one discipline to another, and you can "borrow" those lessons and apply them to whatever is important to YOU. For example, if you're a dancer, and your best friend is an econ major, who's looking to go into high finance, that may not mean much to you, but watching HOW he goes after that dream can show you some things you can transfer to your path (networking, building his circle of influence, asking powerful questions of leaders in his niche).

this has been my biggest draw back...consistency! I find I get bored easily! I'll be all in on a task or project, gain some traction and then find myself bored and uninspired! This was perfect and I needed to hear this. Thanks for another great video!

One thing that has really helped me stay consistent & push through 'the feelings' of not wanting to do anything is turning on music that motivates me (Yonce never fails me) What this does is triggers a can do / energizing attitude that gets me in a flow, reminds me of my why and empowers me me accomplish things.

Omg i can relate. I hope things are working out for you right now.

The most important steps I've taken so far to being consistent are: 1) to not write myself off as hopeless every time I stumble, and 2) to celebrate little victories. Even two weeks is worth aknowledgement, and sometimes, just sitting with a small sense of success is the most incredible motivation to get up and move towards more of the same. Lots of little successes add up to overall success, or at least, progress!

I feel lazy.. i'm not feeling good today..maybe some other time.. (the consistent voice in my head.)

I only workout if I do it sometime before lunch. After noon I feel like my body just slows down too much for it. So I've been lifting weights/doing squats, crunches and planks while my kids play after breakfast for about a year now! I've NEVER been able to be this consistent about exercising.

“The world needs that special gift that only you have.” 🙏🏻thank you Marie❤️❤️❤️I love that quote.

I use to have this morning routine that I felt I had to follow in order to get things done. Although I was "sticking" to the routine I wasn't being consistent with what I really needed to accomplish throughout my day. I am more consistent now that I adjust my morning routine by listening to segments these right after I wake up. The advice stays with me all day.

I looove your channel. I came to this when I searched on KZread for a way to deal with feeling overwhelmed with all of the things going on in my life and all of the responsibilities as a parent. I feel a million times better just from watching TWO of your videos. It feels like the power to take back my life has been given back to me. Thank you times a million! You have a new subscriber today :)

Make the thing you want to be consistent with the first thing to do on your list and do it. I find this really helps! Thanks Marie, love, love, love your vids!

This makes so much sense. I was smiling around two three points which actually happens with me. Thank you so much Marie!

for me i realized those feelings are samskaras or habituated patterns they will change after u keep repeating a behaviour. basically dont listen to ur feelings theyre just there to keep you safe but you know better. u know truly who u are and u are a winner believe that and u stay consistent. and no matter what happens u stick to your goal. you never get tired and u can always sleep. you're more powerful than you think believe this and you're unstoppable quit rationalizing bad behaviour believe in urself

You are amazing!!! The one idea I am working out daily and help me schedule all things effortlessly by being a mom of two is - you take time if you want it bad enough- and the action is figureoutable from your audio book I am listening to every day - yes , everything is Figureoutable in my life now and I could manage time well and got two courses signed up and completed and currently applied for the third one and I never imagined I could take time out during this early post pregnancy period of 14 weeks. Thanks a ton Marie. I love you for the fact of being multi passionate girl. I heard it for the first time and it feels good and give the freedom to be passionate and work for more than one thing we love. Thank you so much #everythingisfigureoutablemarieforleo

Thanks a LOT for "Bye Felicia" visualization. A LOT.

Wow!!! Well done on another great episode Marie! Thanks for reminding us that's it's not always easy for you and that you don't feel like it at times... I got scared for a minute when you said that as I wake up every Wednesday morning (watching from Australia) and watch your 'Q&A tuesday' episodes religiously for inspiration and focus. Even when you took a 2-week break, I went back to watch some oldies :) Addicted to MarieTV... Thank you for sharing your gift with the world! Consistency is paramount to my success and happiness and something I need to work on so i will re watch it daily until I take action!

I appreciate you and the message. I've been suffering on actually being consistent in the real sense of it. I' m certain with the guidelines you've just listed, my time is now to put on the true consistent coat once and for all.

The "WHY" is really important to me and is how I am able to stay motivated. I also really liked the build your life around your priority because that helps me stay pumped and my priority becomes my #1 mission and errands get done as I am able but stop getting in the way of my #1 goal! Loved getting this video today! The timing was perfect (wagon falling). Thank you for making it available!

This is my #1 issue! I heard recently "how you do anything, you do everything" by T. Harv Eker and inconsistent and not completely a task to the end keep showing up. Love these 5 pointers! My number #1 Battle will be to implement this daily! Thanks Marie - again and again and again!

Consistency is KEY! This is a great video and is spot on. One of the things that has helped me stay consistent is my top 5 priority list on my wall with my top goals/priorities. This list is a constant reminder to stay consistent and focused on my vision and keeps clarity in my "why" and what I want! It brings me huge success!

Best timing for me to watch this video. Thank you so mucho Marie ❤️

Ugh such good suggestions! The power of consistency 🙌- even when that inner voice is trying to wine and get you to stop! Love your tips Marie 💕 just what I needed to hear today 😊

Consistent is my word for 2019 and this video is just what I need to kick off the new year with the right mindset and action steps.

For now i keep on listening motivation and listening for the advices from the people who i think more better than me. That keeps me consistent

Purpose and passion has kept me consistently consistent

Thank you for posting this. I feel the knowing my why and doing things consistently will help me succeed. Also ignoring my feelings is a big thing for me. Which I will ignore now because of your tip. You are awesome!

Just what I needed when I began my new "adventure" :) Thank you Marie! Love your videos!

Always have to come back to this! 💕 to remind myself to focus on one project at a time

A lot of this hit home for me I've always had a fear of failing and looking bad to others I have now subscribed to your videos.

Great message Marie. The power of consistency. When I do something I know I should e.g exercise I give myself a small reward. I walk several kilometres to my favourite coffee shop and have a cappuccino and walk back home. Always works for me.

Thank you as always Marie!

Being consistent has always been one of my weaknesses. I need to get past the "whiny voice" and just keep on going. Thanks for all you do, you've encouraged me while starting my own business this past year.

I'm in my second week of exercising 5 days a week first thing in the morning, and the reason I manage to to it is basically because I'm imagining myself as a 90-year old who has a healthy and functional body THANKS to the workout he did through out his life :-). Tomorrow I'll be out running at 5 AM and I'm looking forward to it!!

Ms Forleo thank you so much for this video. This relates to my life so much. I'll follow these rules and will give you an update about my consistency

In order to be consistent on something I often write it into my daily sheets to read. These sheets are little reminders of what is important, especially in treating myself well. Say if I want to do yoga, not only do I write down my entire yoga routine and stick it on my bulletin board but I also right messages that express health, strength and calm as some of my top priorities.

What helped me is actually only thinking about going to the gym or thinking about the start. I see what you mean by kind of getting it to stick to your mind as a priority, but you could also only think about putting it into your schedule. Instead of this big task you have to complete now you have made it a small task that is easier to accomplish. Then the rest will take care of itself.

It is prioritizing as you have explained but also, reducing the pressure that we can put on ourselves to get everything down now, rather than, looking around seeing what is important and is right in front of you. Example: Spending time with my son and looking after him is far more important than crafting which i am doing whilst listening and catching up on my youtube, but I know without putting on the pressure I will get this done too. It is not able completing my To do list all at once, but what I can accomplish in each day and hour of the day. Making sure I take time out for myself, and this crafting and watching KZread, aswell as exercising. Thank you for the vlog very inspiring, Carrie X

Marie you're simply the BEST! 💖

This is my greatest flaw! I'm so happy you did a video on it because I struggle with this often. I'm currently trying to manage a blog and KZread channel but one always falls to the way side. I definitely need help being more consistent in two very important areas of my life.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on ignoring your feelings. I get so confused because it does seem to be a choice between developing consistency and listening to myself. I wish I understood why this occurs.

I've began tracking my progress daily on multiple fronts for 8 months now with beautiful excel spreadsheet with all kinds of charts. It has helped me a lot, they say "What gets measured gets done".

Marieeee this is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you xo

Love these tips! Really working on consistently lately & this is a great video I can come back to when I need a refresher on why consistency is crucial

Wow this video could not have come at a better time for me. I just recently really started struggling at my job after 3-4 month run of doing really well. I finally gave into the "wahhhhhhhh but I don't wanna!" voice and have started falling off the wagon. I've been telling myself to just take this time to relax and feel better... and then I'll get back on the wagon. I should really be doing the opposite! I should ignore my feelings and catch the wagon instead of waiting for the next one. Thanks Marie!

Oh man she is so spot on with that last statement. That is so me, completely beating myself up for falling off the wagon.

God, this was so insightful. Very practical. I loved watching this. Thank you Marie ♥️

Thank You Marie, I love your videos! You are Amazing. Greetings from Brazil.

I needed this so badly. Thank you so much.😍😍

Loved these tips and I will be watching them again and again until I achieve consistency.

Love you! Thank you Marie!!

what helps me is setting my goals on a journal I have. I set them every once in a while, and I have a "wish list" as well as a specific one. at times I take some of thr wishes and turn it into a specific goal (as the SMART stands for). It really worked for me, at about 90% of the time.

Scheduling my priorities definitely helps me be consistent. If I know it HAS to be done, I will do it. If it is something that can be done at a later date, I tend to go with the later date.

I needed this so much. Some days I create a great consistent work session. But most days, I'm dragging my feet and not doing enough. What helps me to stay consistent: I threaten myself. I tell myself "IF YOU DONT DO (blank), (blank) won't happen!!

OMG - This person with this question has the exact issue I have. Awesome steps. Thanks for choosing this question. Smile!
