ACCOUNTABILITY

What is accountability and how important is it to you?

The definition is the quality or state of being accountable, especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibity or to account for one’s actions.

For me accountability is very important. I know you can not tell as I have not been faithful in keeping up with my blog or Facebook posts. It is however very helpful for me to be held accountable.

Who do we hold our selves accountable to? Do you hold your self accountable for anything? How do you hold yourself accountable?

There is no right or wrong answer here. I am just sharing my thoughts on the subject and hopefully helping you do some thinking on the subject as well.

I hold myself accountable to many different people, God, spouse, employer, myself and my accountability groups. I have an accountability group I check in every Sunday. We talk about our successes and struggles in our fitness journey. It has also become a more personal group and we encourage each other in most aspects of our lives as well.

I talk to God on a daily basis and yes he talks back if I take the time to listen. I am learning to truly hold myself accountable by his standards and not the worlds. I am very thankful he loves me even when I stumble around.

I very much enjoyed when I had a personal trainer that I had to check in with on a weekly basis. It was all online but she held me to the the fire. She used tough love at time. I appreciated that she made me own my actions. I could not blame any one but myself for the outcome.

I am learning to do this in all areas of my life. If you are struggling in any area of your life, then please find a group or friend to hold you accountable.

When possible hire a coach or counselor when needed. If not join a free group or make one.

I am currently holding myself accountable to myself for reaching my goals. It will be the actions that I choose to take every day that determines if I reach my goals.

My main 2 goals this year have been to get my health and fitness on track and pay off as much debt as possible and begin to invest for my future. Yes I am a bit late to the party but I believe I can accomplish many things in the years to come. I realize that looks like 4 goals but I count them as 2.

I do have other goals for the year these are just my main 2. I would like to get more followers for Coffee with Miss D so I will need to held accountable.

That is an open invitation to any reader to hold me to it.

Have a great day. Thank you for reading
