168: Being Hard On Yourself Is Not How To Stay Accountable

Accountability is really important for motivating yourself and holding yourself to things, but if you're using shame, guilt, negative self-talk or self-criticism as a motivator, that isn't the right way to keep yourself accountable. In this episode, we're talking about how easy it is to to fall into a habit of berating ourselves if we've let some of our good habits slip or we're not where we want to be with a goal or a project, but self-criticism isn't going to make us (or you!) feel any more motivated to keep going. Holding yourself accountable, especially when life gets busy, means being compassionate and gentle accountability. p.s. for the first time ever on the podcast, we have the same recommendation this week!
