You will be more successful if you invite others to hold you accountable for your action
plan. Consistent reinforcement of new behaviors is needed to improve, but there might
be many innocent reasons why things slip. These might include lack of comfort with new
behaviors, simple lack of awareness of all the ways that old behaviors kick in,
procrastination, or declaring victory before the game is won.
A good way to invite others to hold you accountable is to give permission to ask simple
questions every week that will cause you to reflect on your actions and (re)commit to
your vision.
