    Putting these tips for consistency into action can get you the results you've been looking for in whatever your goal might be. The difference between those who live in regret and those who live the lives of their dreams lies in consistent, daily actions. Today’s motivational Podcast Episode #24  from Confidence on the Go gives you five tips to take your commitment to consistency to the next level. Without consistency, you will never achieve your goal. Consistency is a choice, a practice. The process matters as much as the result, be consistent in the process.   Episode #24 Notes: KEYS TO CONSISTENCY The Laws of Success: (1). Ownership (2). Effort (3). Consistency (4). Self-Efficacy   Most people who want a goal but don’t quite reach it struggle with a lack of consistency.  We get so close, but because of lack of consistency we end up self-sabotaging and regressing. CONSISTENCY: conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness. “In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.” ― Anthony Robbins “I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.” “Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character...” – Steven R. Covey’’ 5 Tips For Consistency Create a Morning Routine People who get things done first thing in the morning are more likely to stick with it. Use the lift app, set your alarm earlier, get to bed earlier, stop the excuses.   Do Things Even If You Don’t Feel Like It Do one thing every day that you don’t want to do. Putting something off only makes it become more of a monster. Take Responsibility for the Process and Stop Obsessing Over the Result Take ownership and stop hoping for results to happen if you aren’t willing to put in the time Put Reminders in Your Environment You hear me say it all the time: saturate your mind with truth. Post-its, alarms on your phone, there are so many possibilities!   Care about the Result You have to care, and I don’t just mean care, I mean REALLY CARE. You also have to believe enough that the care is made real.     I've got a GIVEAWAY for you!: I am giving away one of my own running plan for anyone wanting to run a 5k, 10K, or marathon.  I even have another option for my non-runners out there: a WALKING half marathon plan.   Each plan typically sells for $50, so this is a steal of a deal! All you have to do is write a review in Amazon for one of my books or in iTunes for my show or app.  You can select one program per review that you write for the following options: (1). Review The Skinny, Sexy Mind: The Ultimate French Secret on Amazon.com (2). Review my ebook Building a Better Body Image: 50 Days to Loving Yourself from the Inside Out on Amazon.com  (3).

  Make today matter. Today’s motivational podcast episode from Confidence on the Go challenges you with five questions to get you to take Carpe Diem from a state of common knowledge to actual, lived out common practice. You become what you think about. Life is fragile, you aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Refuse to let yourself keep wasting your own life, start living like you are meant to First, we make our attitudes, then our attitudes make us. -Dennis Waitley     Episode #23 Notes:   The tragic shooting in DC brought to light the unpredictability of life.   Living 55 miles from DC and in a community of commuters, DC hits close to the heart. Tragedy ignites awareness of the human condition.  It inspires me to take a fresh look at life and my own frame of reference.    Today matters.  Tomorrow is not guaranteed.   There is a difference between common knowledge and common practice.  I used to live with this as common knowledge but did not put it into common practice and that is exactly what I want to challenge you to do today.    A native American boy was talking with his grandfather. “What do you think about the world situation? He asked. The grandfather replied, “ I feel like wolves are fighting in my heart. One is full of anger and hatred; the other is full of love, forgiveness, and peace.” “Which one will win?” asked the boy. To which the grandfather replied, “The one I feed.” (Origin Unknown)   YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT.   How long will you continue to sabotage yourself and the real you in order to play the blame game for your unhappiness?   How long will you keep making excuses when you aren’t guaranteed tomorrow?     How many more hours of your day will you waste comparing yourself to others or self-conscious of their judgment?   What are you putting off because you are stuck in the past, in your own self-imposed limitations or because of self-doubt and fear?   Quite simply, what are you putting off that you really want to accomplish?   No more tomorrows, today is the day.   Dennis Waitley: “First we make our attitudes. Then our attitudes make us.”      THE GIVEAWAY MENTIONED ON THE SHOW: I am giving away one of my own running plan for anyone wanting to run a 5k, 10K, or marathon.  I even have another option for my non-runners out there: a WALKING half marathon plan.   Each plan typically sells for $50, so this is a steal of a deal! All you have to do is write a review on Amazon for one of my books or in iTunes for my show or app.  You can select one program per review that you write for the following options: (1). Review The Skinny, Sexy Mind: The Ultimate French Secret on Amazon.com (2). Review my ebook Building a Better Body Image: 50 Days to Loving Yourself from the Inside Out on Amazon.com  (3). Review my podcast show Confidence on the Go in iTunes under podcasts (4). Review one of my iOS apps in iTunes So, just write a review (and this is on the honor system) and then let me know which running training program you'd like in return.  If you'd like more than one program (which I recommend since they're not always going to be free!), then simply pick another product to review!

  Today’s motivational podcast episode from Confidence on the Go shares my five-step action plan for taking LASER ACTION in your life.  Be the best you possible by letting your belief speak louder than your self-doubt. Action starts with a decision. Complete what you start. Trust your calling and your ability to learn as you take more and more action         Episode #22 Notes:   You cannot move forward in life until you stop blaming.  Stop making excuses, stop being a victim to your circumstances and GO DO SOMETHING.  Most people don’t live the level of lives that they want not because they are not capable but because they don’t believe in what they are doing enough for it to drive them to ACTION  My greatest fear is to waste any more of my life than I already have.  I wasted 10 years self-absorbed in an eating disorder and an additional 2 years in a toxic relationship believing that I wasn’t good enough and spending most of my time trying to be someone that I wasn’t.  Two near-death experiences woke me to the fragility of life. ACTON STEPS:   Pick one thing Stop second guessing every detail of it and just make a decision: schedule in time chunks to execute and GIVE YOURSELF DEADLINES. Take action.  No excuses. Just start. Push through barriers with executed decisions, don’t let indecisiveness or feeling overwhelmed let your insecurity or doubt creep in.  TRUST YOUR CALLING. Complete what you start.   Don’t be the person who starts something and doesn’t finish it.  So many people have great ideas, dreams of how they’d life to really be and a vision for their ideal life/attitude/body/etc, yet 95% of people don’t do anything about it.     A more concise list is even better, WRITE THIS LIST DOWN AND PUT SOMEWHERE YOU SEE OFTEN:    Minimize. Deadlines. Action. Trust.

  Today’s motivational podcast episode from Confidence on the Go shares my five step action plan for living past perfectionism in your life. Be the best you possible by letting go of the invisible finish line that keeps moving and instead by focusing your energies on being who you are meant to be. Perfectionism only leads to pain. Type-A-itis can stunt your ability to actually live life to the fullest Action plan to ignite change in the way you think and live     Episode #21 Notes: Quotes to ponder: “90 percent perfect and shared with the world always changes more lives than 100 percent perfect and stuck in your head.” ― Jon Acuff, Quitter: Closing the Gap Between Your Day Job and Your Dream Job  “Perfectionism is not a prerequisite for anything but pain.” ― Danna Faulds “Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.” ― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are  “Perfectionism is a shield that we carry with a thought process that says this, 'If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect, and do it all perfectly, I can avoid or minimize feeling shame, blame, and judgment.” ― Brené Brown “You know, the whole thing about perfectionism. The perfectionism is very dangerous. Because of course if your fidelity to perfectionism is too high, you never do anything. Because doing anything results in...it's actually kind of tragic because you sacrifice how gorgeous and perfect it is in your head for what it really is. And there were a couple of years where I really struggled with that.” ― David Foster Wallace Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.” ― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life   Questions for you: Do you want to help people or impress people? If the person who loves you tells you that your body is beautiful, why do you reject their truth and strive for some crafted idea of "perfection" that you have decided you must achieve? What are you really trying to prove anyways and to whom? What would happen if you gave yourself permission to just be?  To not "earn" love, admiration, or respect through your achievement of "having it all together"?   Action Steps: 1. Admit you're a perfectionist / type-A and that is sometimes good and sometimes bad 2. Acknowledge which areas of your life being type-A helps you and is a good thing 3. Identify the areas which your perfectionism stunts or inhibits your life / becomes your own worse enemy 4. Ask yourself what you really care most about in your heart of hearts. Write that thing down and use it to realign everything you do when you fall into type-a-itis patterns. 5. Grant yourself permission to make mistakes and to be loved simply for being you.  References: Information on Diana Nyad's epic swim from Cuba to Florida, click here for the article.

Thank you to everyone who voted, rallied and supported the promotion of our community of confidence!  (If you haven't already heard of Ali, she's the real deal, listed as one of Forbes' "Women to Watch", appearing on Fox Business Network, taking her company to the Inc. 500 list, and more.)     Episode #18 Notes: Bruce Springsteen “A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be.” James Allen of As a Man Thinketh: “People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they, therefore, remain bound.” John Maxwell: “If you want to improve your life, you must first improve yourself.  You must make that a tangible target.”  / “If you want to grow, you need to get over any fear you may have of making mistakes.” Eleanor Roosevelt said, “One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”   No one improves by accident.  Personal growth just doesn’t happen on its own, you must be intentional about it. Accidental Growth: Plans to start tomorrow Waits for growth or change to come Learns only from mistakes Depends upon good luck Quits early and often Falls into bad habits Talks big with no follow through Plays it safe Thinks like a victim Relies on talent Stops learning Thinks knows everything Intentional Growth: Insists on starting today Takes complete responsibility to grow Often learns before mistakes Often modifies path Relies on hard work Perseveres long and hard Fights for good habits Follows through Takes risks Thinks like a learner Relies on character Never stops growing   Success Equation: (Growth) + Attitude + Opportunity + Action = Luck   The Law of Diminishing Intent says, “The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.” My challenge for you today is to identify something that you need to do, be intentional about doing it and start.  Maxwell says it best: “Life is now in session.  Are you present?" Now, go be INTENTIONAL and do today what you are meant to do to be the best YOU!
