It’s Not Just For Workouts…
Strength in accountability
Through my own experience, research and running challenge groups… I am constantly reminded of how needed accountability is. It gives more “oomph” when you start and keeps you going when you want to quit. Accountability does not necessarily make a task easier but it absolutely makes it more doable. This is true for workouts, accomplishing business goals, personal goals, going through trials, and any other endeavor you put before yourself.
Some tips…
Write everything down: Personal accountability counts too! Having a journal about your daily actions puts things in perspective. It shows you where those calories come from or where your time has been running off to. Keep the truth in front of you and it keeps you in check.
Share your journey: Invite others who have mentioned the same goal or time frame to reach their own goal to join you. Sharing your goals can A: get you moving because you are answering to others B: be a huge blessing to someone who has been wanting to take that step.
Be Public: Tell friends who care about your success and ask them to check in with you. The more people you have to encourage you… the more doable the task is.
Join or start a group: I am constantly making sure I am plugged in to some sort of accountability group in order to keep me focused. The most recent being a 30 day hustle that included over 300 people! It was amazing to see how we all supported each other. I also start groups for others who are looking to take ownership of their health and fitness which have had fantastic results for those involved.
