Show Notes

Dr. L says: Keeping yourself accountable is a skill that many people often have to practice and refine over time. There are a few steps that you can take to ensure that you hold yourself accountable. Remember first and foremost to set realistic goals for yourself. Yes, they can be lofty and seemingly difficult but let's not make impossible goals. Setting reminders for yourself can be a useful and simple way to ensure that are consistently checking in with yourself. Also, asking yourself why your goal is there in the first place can help reveal why accountability may not come so easily. We are less likely to hold ourselves accountable if the goal is not intrinsically motivating. And finally, rope in some support. Accountability doesn't mean doing it all on your own. Calling up your friends to be your army of support can be incredibly useful.

LESSONS: Holding yourself accountable is a skill that needs practice and refinement. Do these four things to aid in building this muscle: Set realistic goals. Set reminders to check in with yourself. Ensure that the goal is coming from YOU - not an external factor. Rope in your support team for help.
