Of course I love this movie, but I’d never really considered how it ties into consistency!! Brilliant. And now it’s on our must see tv for today I’ll weave in your lessons for the others within my domicile. πŸ˜‰

Consistency. Future self. Groundhogs driving. This movie has everything.

Also, I look forward to seeing your photos of the GHD cupcakes you create in the domicile :-)

Excellent reminder to keep on keeping on … I hadn't thought much about how my actions might affect, or even benefit, others. And, of course, that's not the reason for behaving with consistency. It's definitely a perk though!

From my dad :-)

I used Groundhog Day in my doctoral seminar to illustrate that people can use experience to improve their knowledge and make better decisions when they beginβ€”as we usually doβ€”with incomplete understanding of what we should do.

You captured the internals and I focused on the externals.

Different audiences.

β€œ art of Mastering the Mundane through radical consistency” …. Quotable. I saw 11 clients last week and in every single session there was a β€œhuh” pause/moment where each person realized that what they were setting out to do was achievable through what seemed like the smallest repeatable actions. It’s radical in this age of grand, black-and-white actions! Thanks for another wonderful piece, Carla.

YAY! to this and YAY to our zoom soon (because that's happening right??)

And YAY to my being the Heather Cox Richardson of CONSISTENCY because whatever your political beliefs it's a strange GHD like time and we all need the small manageable steps.
