Here's a little part of an consistency masterclass I'm building together with ChatGPT. It spit out fire so good it brought a little tear to my eye🥹
What do you call yourself when things slip again?
Do you say you are inconsistent?
Undisciplined?
Unreliable?
Bad at follow through?
Pay attention to that voice.
Because every skill you have worked on so far gets blocked if your identity is working against you.
For a long time, I did not just struggle with consistency.I believed I was an inconsistent person.
That belief quietly shaped every restart.
When I fell off, it was not just a setback.
It was proof.
Proof that the label was true.
So let me ask you this.
If you already believe the outcome, why would your brain invest energy in changing it?
Identity always wins over intention.
Most ADHD entrepreneurs do not fail because they lack strategies.They fail because they practice an identity that cancels those strategies out.
So here is the reframe.
You are not inconsistent.
You are untrained in a few specific skills.
That reframe matters.
Because when you frame something as a character flaw, you try to fix yourself.When you frame it as a skill gap, you train.
Training invites curiosity.
Fixing invites shame.
So ask yourself this.
When something goes wrong, do you evaluate the skill or attack the self?
Do you ask what broke in the system?
Or do you say here we go again?
That moment decides whether you learn or spiral.
Releasing the identity does not mean pretending everything is fine.It means changing the question you ask after failure.
Not what is wrong with me?
But what skill was missing here?
That keeps you in the game.
Now let us turn this into a practice.
Identity release practice.
The moment you catch yourself using an identity label, pause.
Inconsistent.
Lazy.
Undisciplined.
Bad at finishing.
Then translate it.
Ask yourself this.
If this were a skill problem, what skill would it be?
Re entry?
Minimum action?
State regulation?
Interest leverage?
Name the skill.Not the flaw.
Then say one sentence out loud or in your head.
This is a skill I am training.
That sentence interrupts the spiral.
One more question.
What would change if every setback became feedback instead of a verdict?
Because verdicts end effort.
Feedback invites adjustment.
Before closing this lesson, reflect on this.
Which identity label have you been rehearsing for years without questioning it?
And what happens if you drop that label and replace it with a skill you are actively training?
That is the final skill.
Identity release.
Consistency was never about who you are.
It was about what you were never taught to train.
