Give a gift of accountability
By Dorte | March 6, 2009
Most of us know by first hand experience what often happens with New Year resolutions: They tend to be forgotten or given less and less priority in our busy daily lives, as we move into the new year.
Usually, New Year resolutions are made with the best of intentions. They often center around something that you would really like to achieve. Maybe it is even a resolution you have made some years in a row and never quite succeeded with? We have a lot of explanations for ourselves why we don’t stick to what we have decided upon. And the fact is that many find it difficult to stick to a New Years resolution.
What could make a difference for you? Well, a simple, but powerfull decision could be to admit that you need help. And in return you will help somebody else. Ask a friend to hold you accountable for what you have decided on. And in return you will hold them accountable on any resolution or decision they are strugling with carrying through.
So make that phonecall now. It could be valuable.
