CONSISTENCY OVER TIME

"Good habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them. 
And you don't have to keep them. They keep you." 
~Frank Crane ~

Consistency is the answer to so much that we struggle with in life. We tend to be flippant and sporadic in our pursuit of wellness. We do something good for ourselves, feel better, and promptly stop. We go back to our old habits like a bowling ball tracked for the gutter. But we needn't!
     We can engage self-discipline to keep us going with positive action for long enough to form a new habit, which is a matter of months, or less if we're lucky, but then we have to steady on and steady forth. We give up on ourselves so easily. Let's not! Let's do the next right thing for more than just a day or a week or a month. Let's make it a lifestyle, and if we do that, we will reap benefits beyond our wildest dreams.

I am accountable to myself.
