Consistency
Boring repetition is the secret. Show up small, often.
Why it matters
Consistency beats intensity every single time. A 20-minute walk daily for a year transforms you. A 2-hour workout once a month doesn't. The compound effect of small daily actions — protein, water, walking, sleep — is what separates people who change their lives from people who keep trying. Make the habit small enough that you can't fail.
