Consistency

Consistency – such a funny word.  It is said to be successful or proficient at anything you need to be consistent.  The Cambridge English Dictionary defines it as follows:

Noun – The state or condition of always happening or behaving in the same way. (Found at https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/consistency)

I am consistent at drinking wine.  I am consistent with snuggling my puppers.

That is Sage beside me and Gracie at my feet.  I am also really, really consistent at being absent minded and forgetful, like forgetting the names of my children and their birthdays…

I want to be consistent with posting to my blog or Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.  I want to be consistent with reading and housework.  I want to be consistent with many more things but I simply forget.  There have been many loads of laundry rewashed, dirty dishes mixed with clean in the dishwasher, steeping tea forgotten only to become bitter and cold.  I am not very good at adulting most days but I try.

I decided I would try to take a supplement that helps support cognitive function.  It is formulated to support heart and brain health.  It’s made with sacha inchi oil, pomegranate extract, rhododendron extract, turmeric root powder, coconut oil, lemon oil, peppermint oil, fennel oil, anise oil, and lime oil.  It is high in vegetarian omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D3, ALCAR, GPC, and bio-identical CoQ10 (Bio-identical means the molecular structure is identical to what your body makes on its own).  Clearly this will help me be more consistent.

There is only one teeny, tiny flaw in my wonderful idea.  Consistency.  In order to reap the benefits of any supplement you need to take it more than every once in a while.  I have half a box left of the 30 sachets I ordered in December… I am not very consistent with taking my MindWise.

The single serve sachets don’t need to be refrigerated like the 15 ounce bottle does after its been opened so I am hoping that by moving them onto my bathroom counter I will see them every morning and start remembering to take it.  I am also hoping that by seeing and taking my MindWise every day I may be able to remember some more important things, like picking my children up from the bus stop and feeding the dogs…
