Consistency

Consistency is a quality of being unchanging and dependable.

It has definitely helped me in my life. I like to know what I am doing and where I am going. Change seems to be consistently scary to me (see what I did there?!). Don't get me wrong, I will deal with change if and when I need to, but I wont invite it to solve a problem, especially if I have already decided on how I should fix the problem.

If you feel overwhelmed, as we all get from time to time or if you are unsure what to do then make a decision and stick to it. Be consistent. Be diligent. 

Too many people are give up too early without giving it a good shot. They aren't confident in the decision they have made so they decide to swap without giving it a good old fashioned go.

So I ask you to be consistent. In the way you decide to parent. Or the way you decide to sleep train (or not sleep train) your baby. How you decide to fix a problem you might be having. 

Be true to yourself and stay the course. Of course, if things don't improve eventually then you need to change your approach. But make sure you give it your best before you change.
