Integrity. Character. Faith. Trust. Commitment. All of these qualities stem out of holding ourselves accountable. Not only to others, but to ourselves. Oftentimes we get so committed to our obligations to others that we neglect ourselves- or become hyperaware of our thoughts that never turn into actions- keeping us from honoring our commitments to ourselves.
The cycling limbic loop of perseverating- the thinking about a commitment we made or task we need to accomplish and jumping into the mindset of worrying about getting it done is a perpetual disaster with no end in sight. Rather, we can take the action steps necessary to overcome these patterns and live in the now- accountable. Simple ways work best, one step at a time.
