Setbacks are normal - be realistic - Remain Consistent

Setbacks Are Normal
Everyone experiences obstacles and ups and downs along the way. No one achieves success without a few and often times many stumbles. So don’t get discouraged, this is normal! Setbacks may include people, places, things, thoughts, or emotions. Sometimes identifying and finding a solution to them before they arise is useful. But always remember, ups and downs are normal. The key is to be consistent. 

Be Realistic
Your desire to live a healthy lifestyle will fade overnight if you are not realistic with yourself. Remember your focus is to become the healthiest you, so don’t compare yourself to others. Additionally, if you have neglected your body for years, it will not magically change overnight. Many people give up on their goals because they don’t see immediate, drastic changes. Recognize that change is hard and will probably take time. Those who are consistent will eventually win this life-long health race. 

Consistency Is The Key To Long-Term Success
Everyone makes goals, but only consistent people follow through with their goals. This is the true key to success. Remember that ups and downs are normal but those that succeed pick themselves up and keep going. Choose to be consistent and follow through with your goals and you will be successful. Make this part of your identity. Because at the end of the day, consistency really is king!
