Shhhhhh 🤫 today we're talking about a dirty little "A" word that often gets unnecessary blame!

Are you lacking motivation or are you missing accountability? Both are important, but often times the two get confused.

ACCOUNTABILITY is defined as the condition of being accountable or responsible.

MOTIVATION is defined as the desire of someone to do something.

You NEED motivation to get started and accountability is what KEEPS YOU GOING 💯

True accountability is keeping promises with yourself long after the motivation of the original goal is gone.

Setting goals like losing 20 pounds, doing a transformation challenge for new years or getting leaner for a wedding are things that fuel motivation...

But the strategies like scheduling your grocery shopping, meal prepping and fitting workouts into your daily routine build accountability.

Needing someone to call you every morning or constantly check in on you is not accountability, it's babysitting...

But having a partner that's equally committed as you, sets goals together, shares tips and things that are motivating to them is what builds a true accountability partnership 💪💚

Want 2021 to start and end different than 2020???

1. MOTIVATION - what gets you started, but often fades fast after real life kicks in

2. STRUCTURE - what most people avoid, yet desperately crave and need

3. MEASURABLE GOALS - thinking and feeling good is one thing, but if you cannot measure it you are only trusting your memory to compare pre and post results...

Let's face it we all suck at remembering things so let's not rely all of our success on this!

4. MINI DEADLINES - this is how you combine #2 and #3 without losing motivation. Think of mini deadlines as a vacation, you never miss vacations 🤔😉

5. ACCOUNTABILITY - what we all say we want, but are afraid to actually get because sometimes the truth hurts

In the end your discipline and consistency is what's going to keep you on track, focused during turbulence and resilient during tough times.

Discipline and consistency cannot be created by talking about it, it is a muscle and like anything else it needs to be 💪 FLEXED on a daily basis.

Don't wait for motivation to save you ❌

Motivation gets you started, structure keeps you going, progress keeps you motivated, deadlines keep you focused and accountability is the glue that holds everything together!
