I signed up for an Ayurvedic and Western Medicine masterclass this past week discussing how they can both work side by side. It's a class taught by Dr. Vasant Lad a trusted Ayurvedic doctors team. I have already learned so much from the first two sessions about the subtle body and how that plays a factor in reaching your goals. What does that mean? Our thoughts.. What thoughts are you playing on repeat. Example- I can never lose the weight. As others from class were sharing their own inner thoughts this quote really sunk in from a participant in the group.

I’m realizing I’m very inconsistent in doing things and realizing as years have gone by that inconsistencies is catching up with me. 

What profound insight to offer. What you do consistently matters. That's why missing a workout on vacation won't hurt you if you come back and pick up your exercise routine right away. The same goes for nutrition. If you have a weekend where you ate things you don't normally eat and don't feel great but you pick up with your regular habits on Monday it won't hurt.

But what does hurt is when you stick with an exercise habit for a month don't see progress and quit for a year. You try again a year later now it last 3 months and you stop for 4 months. These patterns are what hurts people from reaching their goals. Many people who are in great shape aren't doing anything special but are just consistent with eating foods that they can digest, moving their bodies, going for walks, taking time to rest when they feel rundown. It's when we think that we need to go 100 miles an hour because we've been "off" for 4 months that ends up hurting our results. Nobody can go from 0 to 100 without getting burnt out.
