How to create consistenly
Ed 88: Daily In-Pulse TL;DR Any creative outlet needs to be consistently published. With consistency, you can create habits that help you build momentum towards achieving a great result.
Hey #fellowhighbrator, I’ve always had busy days on Wednesdays. Everyone demands a lot of things from you on a Wednesday. For some reason, it’s people catching up with you to meet their timelines, and in some other instances, you get to catch people to meet your timelines. My day has started pretty well, I woke up listening to the birds (kept my windows open) and some Sunshine. I took a walk down the park and also sipped on some coffee (I felt I needed this today). After looking at my calendar and planning my day out, I straight away set my day to write this for you. I now plan to spend the rest of the day completing other tasks, attending a million calls that are scheduled, and hopefully hopping on to a newly opened high-vibe cafe nearby. However, I feel today is going to be a pretty dope day. I pray your day is spent with some high vibes too!
I thank the stars to connect with Kandice, our latest #fellowhighbrator. Kandice runs self-care programs and was great to catch up with her over a zoom call last evening! We welcome you with an open heart to the high-vibe community Kandice.
Wait! Are you seeing me less often? I might be hanging out every day in your Promotions folder. Darn it! You can add inpulsenewsletter@substack.com as your primary contact or move my emails from Promotions to Inbox.
☄️ What’s Vibing Today
The biggest reason you have not been able to move from point A (where you are) to point B (where you want to be) is the lack of consistent action. Consistency is something I have personally struggled with - especially creating valuable content for Highbrate. One of the biggest reasons why I have struggled with being consistent is the lack of immediate results.
Have you heard of this before - 6 months of focus will shift you 5 years ahead in life? That's usually what it takes. I have seen stories of people starting with no results to slowly piling exponentially on results with consistency.
I have been inconsistent with my work for the 4 years, and I know it sucks and is frustrating. But when I looked deep within, the reason was me. My lack of consistent work. That's when I reflected a lot, during my last week in Dec 2020 and came up with a framework of my own. It has helped me do so much in January 2021 already.
Here is how to build a consistent schedule:
1. Understand the purpose: Start with why. Why is it that you want to create something valuable? Whatever is the reason that draws you to work on a dream fuel it constantly. Make posters of your dreams and your why. Has it imprinted in your subconscious? The reason I have been working
2. Ask why you're not consistent: Usually, the biggest reason you are not consistent is creating a self-limiting belief. This has nothing to do with your capabilities, but what we think the results might be. Becoming frustrated by expecting results too soon is my challenge. I am looking to do away with the outcome and enjoy the process. I know it’s not easy.
Some of the beliefs I have overcome to become consistent with my work:
It’s not about the number of people that are validating your work
You begin to learn patience rather than expecting results
Look to help just one person with your daily creation
Understand that great things take time
Don’t give up
3. Make a commitment: This is extremely important. Once you have your purpose and your reason for not being aligned, make a commitment. Establish a time period and frequency of work to deliver. This can be at your convenience and whatever works for you. Daily/ twice a week/ Weekly/ Bi-Weekly/ Monthly/ Once in three months, whatever it is. Just commit and deliver. My newsletter is now delivered weekly on Friday. I was not well the last week, yet just got up and put this out as I had made a commitment. Now, there you go, there’s your inspiration to act.
4. Reverse Engineer: What is it that you want to achieve with your work? Have an end goal in mind and break it down into time periods. The best way it works for me is a 12-month goal and review every 3 months. Then understand what needs to be done each week in the 3 month period. There you have it - you know what to do now with a clear, focused direction. Personally, I am shifting to having 6 monthly goals, and reviewing them every month. This is because my plans get too dynamic. Again, whatever works for you.
5. Start small: The easiest way to become consistent is to start small. I had literally baby steps written down as my daily targets. There came a point where I thought I could do much more daily. The best part is this realization came in when I had already started to become consistent. Now, I get much more done on a daily basis. Small steps lead to great mountains. And the most difficult step to take is the first one.
6. List your daily 3 and write your weekly goals: This is really helping me stay accountable with my goals. To know what you need to accomplish during the week, and set the three most important tasks for the day, you will slowly begin to become consistent. This has helped me immensely. Once you tick items every day, it’s a snowball effect with huge momentum on your side!
7. Organize your work in a planner and schedule: Last year, my biggest focus for 2021 was to become organized and stay consistent. I was all over the place, doing multiple things and achieving nothing. That’s when my friend suggested a life planner to me for 2021. This is by far the best New Year gift I have received. It helped me organize all my thoughts and keeps a track of my daily activities, tasks, habits, weekly goals, gratitude list, and monthly review. I am looking forward to seeing how much I achieve by the end of 2021. It’s never late, start life planning in a planner today.
Building consistency helps you to build momentum. At the end of the day, it’s all about creating something good for you and the world. You can achieve greatness with consistency.

🎴 The Big Picture
Q) Spirit, what messages do you have for #fellowhighbrators for their careers or businesses today?
The High Priestess
The high priestess is a powerful, major arcana card, and is giving me vibes of a very strong magnetic manifestation. The message that I am receiving from the spirit is to work towards alignment in your life with all aspects. You are aware of the shortcomings that are bringing you down. You are in a state of deep, reflective understanding, and in the zone to powerfully create and receive abundance for yourself and the world.
You understand that you are a channel through which you can generate positivity to the world and the people around you. When you do the work, you can expect lots of success, power, abundance, and a sense of knowing that you are strong and you deserve this. Your intuition, represented by the third eye, and inner knowing feel right, that the path that you are on is correct and right.
The high priestess represents dreams, powerful visions, psychic insights, meditation, introspection, intuition, and spiritual experience. You are sitting on the edge of the realm from the other world and you are bringing down meanings from beyond the veil. Sacred insights and wisdom are flowing to you now and you must tune into your intuition to access your subconscious. Pay attention to synchronicity and gut feelings that move you in a new direction. You have the answers you seek and by following the truth you will find them.
🌈 High-Vibe Bites
💯 Raising your vibrations is all about working on your holistic life. When you are busy with tonnes of tasks, are you still able to find time for yourself? For your loved one? That’s the real challenge. My focus for the next 100 days with my 100 Days Life Project is to work on my health, relationships, work/ career, and hobbies. I have designed a whole plan to make easy, small, actionable, and incremental steps to grow in each aspect of my life, together. When you grow in one aspect, you will automatically rise in many other aspects. However, when you consciously grow in each aspect together, that’s when you make huge shifts. Today is one such day for me. I have an extremely busy schedule. Yet, I do plan to keep some off for my loved ones, and my health, and my well-being. Work from home sometimes makes it difficult. It’s all about realizing priorities in life.
☀️ My body demands rest with my workout today. I do feel like staying indoors. And so I have been reading for some time on my balcony with the morning sunshine. During this morning hour, the Sun falls at a perfect angle on my face and body allowing me to fully take my vitamins and high-vibe energy codes. With a bottle of water and my Long Walk to Freedom book from Nelson Mandela, I spend my #Day42of100DaysofJoy, sitting on the balcony, feeling lost with the clouds, birdwatching, reading, reflecting, and sipping on water. By the way, I am spending at least 10 minutes in Nature and the Sun for the next 100 days as it gives me immense joy. What can you do for the next 100 days that will give you joy?
