Tip #3:  Have an Accountability Partner

August 18, 2016 by HeatherRobertson

22_Tip3_HaveAnAccountabilityPartnerThere is something I really push in the Half Size Me community, and that is accountability. Maybe you’ve been struggling; you’ve been off. You’ve given yourself that maintenance break we talked about in Tip #1, and you’ve been focusing on all the really good things you’re doing like we talked about in Tip #2, but you’re still finding, say, at 1:00 in the afternoon, you’re gravitating toward eating the chocolate bar or whatever it is that you feel is knocking you off track.

In the Half Size Me Community, I say try and find a buddy or somebody you will be personally accountable to. You can do this in your own life, right?

You could find either a friend or someone who has common goals, or you could even maybe go online and find somebody you can connect with. What you say is, “Hey, look, every afternoon, I found I’ve gotten into this rut of doing this behavior that’s not getting me to my goal.

Would it be OK if I emailed you, or would it be OK if you checked on me or called me, or I called you, during that time, just to help me get past this hump?”

Usually it takes a couple of days of doing that, or a week. I have my coaching clients email me for a week consistently with something we’re trying to work through. What happens is just the habit of doing it will help knock you back on track.

Find somebody to be accountable to, to help you work past whatever it is you feel is not helping you get to your goal. Comment below or on Facebook and let me know how you’re establishing accountability.
