Accountability
We are surrounded by people every day. Family, friends, coworkers, and many more.
This does not mean that everyone you speak to has to hold you accountable to your goals or make sure you’ re doing what you said you would be doing …
But, it would be best to ask for help, support, and / or understanding from those who you have regular contact with. This is Step 4 of Setting Clear AND Specific Goals.
You’ ll benefit a few ways when you share your goals: �
By stating it publicly, you are making yourself accountable for your actions. Even if no one ever tells you anything, YOU know that you said you were going to do something and you will not want to see yourself as a liar.
�
Some people may be able to give you helpful advice. Of course there will be some people who like to poke their nose where it doesn’ t belong. So I encourage you to find consult from only those you trust and can contribute to your growth.
�
And finally, by you stepping out and sharing your goals, you may find someone that wants to join you on your journey. This would be amazing because now you have someone to encourage and you’ ll also receive encouragement. It will no longer be you doing it alone.
At the very least share your goals with those you eat with regularly because your eating habits will change for the better. And you may find yourself not going out as much as you once did.
Think of it this way … If you were an alcoholic and trying to get clean, would you continue to go to bars and hang out with those you used to drink with?
Of course not!... As an alcoholic you wouldn’ t want to be placed in situation where you’ ll be tempted to fall back into bad habits.
And eating is no different!... Both eating and drinking can result in shame and a damaged life when it becomes an addiction.
