ACCOUNTABILITY. making plans, dreaming big and creating goals are great, but how do we make them happen? staying accountable. I find myself giving up on things sooner when I don’t keep myself accountable for the new challenge I decided to embark on or the new goal I want to reach. often I caught my mind coming up with reasons to give up, finding excuses to say how its not possible (especially on those rough days) and I then saw myself drift away from my challenge or goal.... through the years I came across different tips that helped me stay accountable in various types of goals I was setting. some helped for personal goals and others helped for client-centered goals. swipe to learn some tips that helped us stay accountable for what we decided to embark on. these tips can be applied to many different goals! what are some tips you use to stay accountable? @hrim.wellness

Invest in yourself. We often get side tracked as we go through the course of life. We want the biggest the house, the fastest car and a stress-free lifestyle. All of that is great, but what if that can be an added BONUS to our life. With a nourished body, relaxed mind and positive outlook, achieving those goals become easier and enjoyable for us. First steps: 1. Add Something New. For example, every month I try adding a new nutritional change into my diet. In the long run I w...ould have experienced so many new changes and it will soon become a lifestyle. 2. Be Flexible. Our mind doesn’t like change. Be realistic on how and when it is okay to not follow this new change. For example, if I have a really long day, I won’t stress about not being able to get a workout in. 3. Slow & Steady. Over the years we have been conditioned to accept instant gratification from the world. With small changes everyday, throughout time you will begin to see the new changes in you, and that will be priceless. For those of you who needed this reminder, I hope it helps! share now, save later. @hrim.wellness
