Consistency > Intensity (Yes, Even in Therapy 😉)
We live in a world that loves big, dramatic transformations. New year, new routine. Monday motivation. All-or-nothing energy.
But here’s the truth: intensity is exciting… consistency is life-changing.
It’s not the one 5 a.m. workout.
It’s the 20-minute walks you actually keep taking.
It’s not the single, deeply emotional breakthrough.
It’s the small insights you apply every week.
It’s not the perfectly planned self-care day.
It’s drinking water, going to bed on time, and showing up — again and again.
In therapy (and in life), progress usually looks less like fireworks and more like steady footsteps. Small, repeated actions literally rewire the brain. Habits built gently and consistently tend to last. Habits built on bursts of motivation tend to burn out.
You don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight.
You need doable. Sustainable. Repeatable.
If you’ve been feeling stuck because you “can’t seem to stay consistent,” maybe the goal isn’t to try harder — it’s to start smaller.
Tiny steps. Taken regularly.
That’s where real change lives.
