Note from Jackie

An Accountability Buddy! Sometimes that’s what it takes to fulfill a commitment. For many years I have been challenged by the priority of putting my work before taking care of myself. This translates into starting exercise and weight release programs, and not staying with them. I imagine some of you might identify with that. Then I would feel guilty, berate myself, and just feel worse. “I know better, but why can’t I stay with it?” These are not exactly high frequency thoughts and emotions. But then at the beginning of the year, I was ready to make the commitment, but the key to it was that I didn’t do it alone where I could just slip back into old habits. I committed to a workout trainer three days a week, where he also tracks my food on an online log, and on the days I don’t see him, I ride my exercise bike. Guess what? It’s now more six weeks and I’m staying on track. The reason? I have someone to whom I must be accountable. I can’t make excuses, I can’t not go or I pay for the sessions. I work to please both him and myself with my progress. Sure there are a lot of days I don’t feel like going, but I do and I feel better. Most of all, I can feel my self-respect and my self-love restoring. I’m releasing pounds slowly–more slowly than I’m used to when I’m focused on weight releasing—but I’m also not so manic and paniced. This is a process, and I have someone to support me and to whom I must report. So my message is, if you are having difficulty making a commitment to something in your life, try an accountability buddy…whether friend, mastermind partner or professional. It could very well get you over the hurdle and into a new way of life that indeed raises your frequency!
