Why is it so easy to do things for others rather than ourselves?

Takeaways

• Accountability only works if you do the work.  
• What will it take to light your fire and get you moving in the direction of your dreams?
• Trick your mind into pursuing your dreams with a sense of urgency.  
• If you are deep into your own comfort zone, doing the things you aren’t used to in order to achieve your goals becomes difficult.
• If you don’t respect yourself, you won’t hold yourself accountable to yourself.
• Sometimes your work isn’t “doing” anything. It’s simply to become self-aware of your thoughts and beliefs that cause the resistance in you from doing the “other” work.
• Are you procrastinating because you’re really tired or because you don’t feel worthy or deserving of the thing?
• Get curious about why you have self-limiting beliefs or why you engage in negative self-talk. 
• Start creating affirmations or new beliefs and repeat them to yourself until you believe them.  (Pro tip: Commit to yourself right now that you want to reprogram those thoughts and stick with it. Repeat affirmations daily and often. Repetition is the key)
• Someone else’s formula for success may not work for you; just take the parts that do and create something of your own.
• Plan relaxation time in your schedule. Self-care is not selfish!
