400 Day Streak. What did I learn?

Hey, PH community!
I finally hit a 400-day streak! It feels like a huge milestone, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. In fact, my streak was erased several times last year due to technical glitches, and I had to fight hard to get it reinstated. That journey taught me a lot about consistency, persistence and the value of showing up every day. Here are my key takeaways:
1️⃣ Persistence Pays Off
Even when things feel unfair (like losing your streak due to no fault of your own), advocating for yourself and sticking to your goals can make a huge difference. Never underestimate the power of determination.
2️⃣ Consistency Builds Momentum
Whether you're starting over or continuing, the act of showing up daily is where the magic happens. Consistency isn’t just a habit, it’s a mindset.
3️⃣ Advocate for Your Wins
Losing my streak temporarily made me realise how important it is to value your efforts and fight for what you’ve earned. It's not just about the number—it’s about the journey.
4️⃣ Celebrate the Community
What keeps me coming back every day is the sense of purpose in this community. Discovering innovation and supporting product launches is what makes this streak meaningful and keeps me motivated to show up, no matter what.
Here's to 400 more days of discovery, building and shipping! 💪
What streaks have you fought to maintain, and what did they teach you? I’d love to hear your stories!

@emmawright haha, no. It's not a chore really, at this stage it's just something that I naturaly do without thinking. Like brushing my teeth lol
"Persistence Pays Off" resonates with me. Thanks for sharing.

@roslyn_brooks Welcome to the community! 😊 It’s just something you have to get into habit of doing daily. Set the time in your calendar everyday to log in and either engage with products or the community
