Accountability - Are Your Serving Your Self?

by Kathy Hampton

In my last blog post, we discussed the practice of self-awareness. I suggested that if you wanted to dive into the practice for deeper introspection, you should:

• Actively retreat for stimulation of the body, mind and spirit

• Spend time alone

• Meditate for reflective thought, do your innerwork

When truthfully fulfilling the practice of self-awareness, with no bypassing and avoidance, you may encounter the following or similar questions: 

“What the hell is going on?”

“Why do I keep on doing this to myself?”

“This is unbelievable, I feel so good!”

With time and deeper reflection, a wonderful self-discovery arises, answering those questions of your spirit. Oftentimes, the answers also reveal necessary changes and transitions. Even if you’re experiencing joy and want to sustain that feeling, I suggest being accountable to yourself.  

Accountability may look like scheduling time for fitness, mental or physical health therapy, tracking your nutrition, learning a new skill, or developing your career plan. It could also mean cultivating a new hobby in a group setting, individually with a coach or alone. Please do your research and align your actions with individuals or resources necessary to support your desired goals. Furthermore, assume responsibility for accomplishing these goals. 

Serve yourself well to sustain the wellness you already own.

Serve yourself well by holding yourself accountable.
