I Blew my 14 Day Streak... so I'm Starting Over

For 14 days straight I was sweating, journaling, meditating, publishing and reading… every day.

My goal 30 days straight to practice my consistency because I kind of suck at consistency.

I’m not really a planner, a step by step-er or one to follow a routine. I flow forward, opting more often for persistency than consistency.

But I’ve realized there are some areas that consistency is a positive and I wanted to flex this muscle, so I committed to 30 days straight of five things, daily.

I was doing really well!

Then I went camping on Friday and I broke my streak.

Now, you might have some justifications for me.

“Zach, it’s ok to sometimes take some time off, especially when you’re without Wi-Fi on a river camping.”

I get it, I have a ton of personal justifications for why it’s ok that I stopped my daily routine for the weekend.

• No wi-fi

• Didn’t bring my computer

• No alone time to read

• “I’m off the grid”

• etc etc etc

The problem is that I can always justify my streak breaking, my in-consistency.

There’s always wiggle room to explain to myself why it’s ok.

And that’s exactly what I wanted to breakthrough.

I wanted to stick to a routine, to see something all the way through to the endpoint, consistently, without justifying why it’s ok to stop my streak.

It didn’t happen.

I chose to not stick to my routine over the weekend… and I kind of let myself down.

I totally could have done it. I brought paper for journaling. I even had an Instagram drone video from Nicaragua to check off my “publishing” box for the day. I could have broken away to meditate at so many points in the day.

But I didn’t…

However, I stilllllllll want to stick to my consistency so I’m starting over.

My goal of 30 days straight is still the goal, so today is day 1/30.

Hold me to it.
