Consistency isn’t hard because we’re incapable, it’s hard because instant gratification keeps winning. Today, Jay breaks down why distractions pull us off track and introduces a five-step framework, inspired by Wayne Dyer, to help you delay gratification, understand your triggers, and follow through on the meaningful actions that create long-term results.
If you’ve ever wondered why staying consistent feels so hard, or how to train your mind to delay gratification, this episode gives you the roadmap.
