Accountability = Commitment.
An accountability partner is someone you make a commitment to. A commitment to complete a task or exercise that will take you one step closer to your achieving your goal. This is why having an exercise buddy or partner is so crucial to many people's fitness goals. You have someone to challenge you to higher heights. Having an accountability partner, helps you stay true to your word. Why is it we break commitments to ourselves before we break a commitment to others? Is it because they depend on you or you are afraid that you will hurt their feelings? We must realize that not only should we make commitments to ourselvess but we must also keep them. Your commitment to yourself is most important. When you value your commitments, people also know that you will value theirs.
Accountability partners are people who:
- you share and review your goals with. help you keep your commitments
- you share and celebrate your wins with
