2) YOUR PARTNER, A CLOSE FRIEND, OR A FAMILY MEMBER Having an accountability partner - I call it an “accountabil-a-buddy,” can sometimes be the missing link between knowing what you want to accomplish and then taking action to actually get things done. When you rely on your own willpower, you may often fall short because it’s so easy to talk yourself out of doing things, especially if your brain deems something as undesirable. But knowing that someone is holding you accountable can make a HUGE difference and can often be the small change that leads to big results. A great example is setting a goal to go for a walk every morning and then sending a video to your friend as proof that you actually went! 3) A MASTERMIND GROUP OR AN ONLINE COMMUNITY Being a part of a group with like-minded individuals can inspire and motivate you. Sharing your struggles with your group can help you to gain valuable insight and the support you need to push through challenging obstacles. The structure of these groups can also lead to positive results as the frequent scheduled check-in sessions can allow you to measure and monitor your progress. 4) A MENTOR OR A COACH Learning from someone who has already done what you would like to do can be a game changer for some. Often tasks can seem daunting because we tend to focus on the overall result and can have a hard time determining where to begin. A mentor or a coach can help you to break down your goals into smaller, actionable tasks which can make it much easier for you to take the steps needed to reach the outcome you desire. 5) A PROFESSIONAL Working with a therapist can be extremely beneficial, especially if you feel that you are experiencing emotional or mental health concerns. A therapist can help you with many things, including how to better understand why you are struggling, and strategies to cope with life’s many challenges. 14 WRITERS UNBLOCKED • VOL. 1 / NO. 1
From this point forward, try to be open to seeking and receiving the help that you need, whenever you may need it on your journey to becoming the best version of you. AS A LEARNING STRATEGIST I often tell this to the students I work with - at the end of the day, your report card or transcript is not going to say how many times you seeked help, it is only going to say your grades… So, don’t hesitate to seek the support you need to be successful. I feel that this same principle can be applied to anyone, regardless of their stage in life. There is no “life report card”. No one is keeping track of how many times you ask for help. Oftentimes there are many people who actually want to help you, so, find your go-to people, seek out new resources, and believe that others genuinely want to see you shine.
