Do it for yourself.. your future self will thank you

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Show up for yourself today and share your weekly win and/or NSV! I want to hear from everyone today! Happy Friday, friends! Today is the perfect opportunity for you to show up and allow for some easy accountability! Today, the accountability I’m asking of you offers positive emotion along with it—because you get to share your weekly wins and/or non-scale victories! 🎉 Traditional forms of accountability can often feel negative. (They’re not, but I think you can understand what I mean.) When you allow me to hold you accountable for your nutrition and exercise habits, it doesn’t always feel good or positive. Sharing your weekly wins is a distinct form of accountability compared to many traditional or more common types—and a big part of what makes it different (and often more effective) is exactly that it emphasizes positive emotion and reinforcement rather than focusing primarily on gaps, failures, or consequences. I don’t know about you, but this feels like a big YES to me! If you want to work on leveling up your accountability, start here. Start with something that offers you some positive emotion. 🎉

TAKING ACTION: ✅ What source of accountability have you found that works best for you? Or do you feel like you need a more effective and reliable accountability source? Last week, we talked about accountability. I didn’t plan on extending that conversation into this week, but after yesterday’s post, I felt compelled to address the accountability subject again. But today, I want to talk about myself. I know, I don’t normally do that in this space because the truth is that this space is for you. However, if part of my story can help you relate, I’m willing to share it. I’ll just say it—being a health and wellness coach is hard some days. 💯 But here’s one benefit of being a health coach that was really unexpected when I began coaching: It holds me ACCOUNTABLE. I am suggesting that you up the ante when it comes to your own accountability. Consider this today. What way can you up the ante on your own accountability?

✅ Do you consider yourself to be disciplined or not (generally speaking)? Now that you know it’s mostly a learned skill, do you feel more hopeful about becoming more disciplined? Share with us below! Good morning, friends! It’s been a big week. Not only because we’ve been learning, but we’ve been learning about a word that seems scary for some—discipline. I often find that many people don’t consider themselves disciplined. They don’t identify with it, and with that kind of thinking, they won’t ever be able to! You see, discipline isn’t something people are born with. It’s learned. Research shows that while there may be some innate predispositions influenced by genetics, the evidence overwhelmingly shows that discipline is developed, strengthened, and improved through practice, habits, and environmental factors. This is good news, friends! This means you aren’t hopeless when it comes to being disciplined—even if it feels like a foreign concept to you right now. Obviously, you must put in the work, but that goes with anything in life, and especially those things worth having. 💯 Check out this optional and very brief article regarding learning the skill of discipline! ⬇️ Discipline Is a Skill—And You Can Develop It

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Read today’s post and check in the comments today! How are you doing overall? Today, I want you to take the time to check in here. How are you feeling? How’s your motivation? Better yet, how’s your discipline? Let me know how you’re doing—you know, for the sake of accountability. 😉 The next three-week period is YOUR time, friend. How you navigate the next three weeks will set you up for the rest of the year because you’re going to be practicing your discipline skills. Want to make the most of the next few weeks? Lean into both DISCIPLINE and ACCOUNTABILITY. This is your chance…
