Happy New Year: Intention is the Foundation of Consistency!

Happy New Year! We made it to the year of 2024!

I started this journey of blogging a few months ago. It was something I always wanted to do and excited to get started. However, I didn’t follow through with my weekly blogging as I expected. While my excitement was great, it was not enough to sustain my blog.  Unfortunately, I lacked consistency.

For about five years, I have successfully chosen a word on January 1st to set the tone for the following 364 days.  This year, I wrestled between the words intentional and consistency.  I was afraid of choosing consistency, because I knew I would have to be present and do the work. I would have to show up for myself, show up in a way I have never done before. Consistency has been what has kept me from losing the weight I want, going all in with the businesses I have started and stopped, the book I set out writing and stopped.  Consistency has been my excuse of seeing anything through in fear of failure.  What do I mean? If I’m not consistent, then this is why this or that didn’t work out.  So, after I sat there and went several rounds with this word consistency, I decide to throw in the white towel. I surrendered and knew it will take intentionality for this consistency to work.

I am determined to remain consistent in who I am and what I desire.  I will do this by applying intention because intention is the foundation of consistency!

Have you set your intentions for 2024? Have you chosen a word to set the tone for the rest of the year? What is your word for 2024? Please share in the comments.
