Making an effort does not have to be hard.
I used to think things that require effort to complete is hard. Being consistent requires effort. Getting into a habit requires effort. Making changes requires effort.
However recently, I found out that that is just not true. Efforts can be easy. Breathing requires effort if you look at it that way. Walking requires effort - you would stop if you do not start moving your legs. Heck, standing requires effort. Your muscles would have to loosen and tighten in a certain manner for you to be standing - and be alive!
Making an effort does not have to be hard. There just have to be an effort. No need for consistency too. You can argue that you can try to be smart about the way you make that effort, but a lot of the times, it is just easy. I have not appreciated that enough.
