Once you are committed, hold yourself accountable. Develop practices that prioritize these aspects of your life. While it’s hard to let others down, the hardest person to let down is ourselves. It’s when we experience the highest levels of disappointment and dissatisfaction. When we remain accountable to ourselves and take full responsibility for our actions, emotions, and way of being, we also remove relying on anything outside of ourselves to make us feel whole or happy. We ultimately come to the realization we hold the key to reaching our highest potential. It’s easy to have high expectations of others, but we must hold ourselves to those same standards first. We cannot expect from others what we are not willing to do ourselves. 

So if you commit to your physical wellbeing, for example, hold yourself accountable to those 20-30 minutes of movement 3-5 times per week, or whatever your practice consists of. The more we develop practices to tune into our mind, body, and spirit, we are able to assess how we are actually doing in order to course-correct along the way. This all requires self-accountability.
