In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.
In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.
Adaptability is the way of consistency.
Great quote around cognitive dissonance from @JamesClear... also reading in the replies how ideas about ourselves create blindspots in our thinking, particularly around how we approach knowing what we don't know #adamgrant, and thus how we approach personal growth/change.

Is learning a paradox?
Our attention is drawn to what we feel is important and is relatable in the moment. If we're yet to take on new knowledge how can we identify it as important or relevant to us?
Great news! Looking forward to seeing Tom take his learnings from his time at @SEGRacing and furthering his development with Home Solutions-Soenens in 2022.
We are happy to confirm that @tom1_day will continue his development within the structure of Belgium's Home Solution-Soenens! Great step, Tom! 👏

If a football team qualifies for the Olympics they play with 11 players plus subs, if a Team Pursuit Team qualifies for the Olympics they send four rider plus subs. So why is it in road racing do nations qualify with some allowed to send a full team, & other fractions of a team?
When sporting greats fade, you question whether the standards have increased, whether that athlete would have won in the modern era, even at their peak.
Mark Cavendish has now beaten three generations of the best sprinters, on the biggest stage. No more questions needed.
