“I was consistent for a few weeks, but then I went on vacation and stopped.”

I hear this a lot.

It’s hard to stay consistent with your goals and habits when sometimes you:

• Forget

• Get too busy

• Are travelling/on vacation

So today, I’m sharing what I do to stay consistent (as someone who’s been traveling for the last 4.5 months).

Be okay with imperfection

These are my journal entries for the last few days.

• Point form

• Sometimes 1 sentence

• Mistakes (accidentally wrote 2025 instead of 2024)

Sometimes, I’ve even been 2+ weeks behind on my journaling and habit tracking.

But I just do what I can: write imperfect entries.

Later, I can go back and catch up if I want to.

(Usually I catch up while on the plane or train, when I have nothing else to do. The point form notes and my photos help jog my memory.)

But what if you want to take a real break?

Kind of like Duolingo with the streak freeze,

It’s okay if you miss a few days.

The most important thing is getting back in the habit after the break.

Just set a day in the future to be your “back to consistency” day.

That’s why today’s email is a few days later than usual…I got too busy hiking the most treacherous mountains of my life 😅

That’s all for today! Thanks for reading ❤️ 

Kindly,

Jennifer
