We understand it can seem like your consistent efforts are not reaping rewards. Let us reassure you that is not so.
Just like you may decide change is required for your physical body if you have found yourself to be out of shape, the first step is the intention. The next step is the action of perhaps getting yourself a personal trainer, changing your diet, joining a gym, or getting more active on your own.
You will then enter a phase where it seems like you are putting in all the effort but not getting results. You may find it difficult and discouraging. But if you stay with it, slowly but surely you create new habits and start to feel something shifting internally. You might notice more energy and find your mood improving. But outwardly nothing shows.
Then you might start feeling very definite changes in your body. You might even feel muscles forming beneath the surface! You start to feel your internal structure starting to change and operate very differently. You move differently. You are stronger. You have more endurance. But this is still evident only to you.
But if you keep at it you will one day look in the mirror and see change in your body that is unmistakeable, and others will start to notice, too! That gives you even more encouragement to keep going because you finally have tangible proof that your efforts are really paying off.
