  • Dr. Li shares how her clients requested help with consistency, acknowledging its universal challenge, and sets up the exploration of what blocks consistency.

00:03:18 – 00:05:28

  • First major blocker: Giving your time away to others (people pleasing) rather than prioritizing your own needs.
  • Brief exploration of perfectionism and rigid thinking as additional obstacles.

00:05:28 – 00:07:27

  • The power of writing things down: Prevents forgetfulness, improves specificity and reliability in staying consistent.

00:07:27 – 00:08:47

  • The risk of lack of clarity and fuzzy goals. The laser-beam focus approach to habits for energy and time savings.

00:08:47 – 00:11:08

  • Emotional obstacles: Guilt, negative self-talk, and the importance of self-compassion in building consistency.

00:11:08 – 00:16:06

  • Five practical remedies:
    1. Get clear on what you want and put it on your schedule.
    2. Commitment: The foundational mindset for reaching goals.
    3. Write things down as commitments, not just as ideas.
    4. Evaluate and troubleshoot moments of inconsistency.
    5. Don’t give up—explore new strategies and forgive past difficulties.
