consistent doesn't mean every day
Honestly, I struggle with consistency so much. I have so many things I want to do. So many things I want to learn. Taking things one step at a time isn't really my forte. My ADHD drives me mad. I'm slowly learning how to manage it, but it's still very difficult.
A recent realization I made is that consistency does not strictly mean that you have to do that certain thing every single day.
Taking breaks is okay.
I'm not a complete failure for missing a day or two.
In the past, I've tried to make it a goal to write one entry in my diary everyday. Having that goal put too much pressure on me and eventually made me not want to do it at all. Whenever I would miss a day I'd end up feeling guilty and like a failure which got me nowhere. No progress.
Now I just write whenever I feel like it and try not to feel horrible about missing a couple days. I hope eventually that feeling is gone for good. Maybe one day I will defeat that demon inside me.
