Most people think consistency is what proves your strength.But here’s the con, consistency measured by streaks doesn’t free you, it chains you.

I know because I worshipped the chain.Community streaks. Writing streaks. Podcast streaks.I thought the chain made me holy.Until it broke. And I crumbled with it.

Thirteen days of silence after my last Daily Power Boost?Old me would’ve turned that into a tombstone.But here’s the hard truth:

Streaks are fragile. Identity is not.

In this episode, we’re burning down the altar of perfect attendance and getting honest about what actually sustains you.

In This Episode:

* Why streaks feed shame instead of strength

* How broken chains whisper the oldest lie: “You failed”

* Why identity-driven consistency outlasts any calendar

* The Reset Boost practice that helps you embody being over performing

✦ Reflection Prompts

* Where have you been living as if a number defined your worth?

* What story do you whisper when the chain breaks?

* Who would you be if you stopped performing and started being?

✦ Reset Boost (Action Step)

* Write down one streak that owns you—or one that broke and still haunts you.

* Reframe it: “The streak broke, but I am still ___________.”

* Choose one aligned action today. Not to fix the streak. To embody the identity.
