COUNTING DOWN THE COMMITMENTS
Decision: Food or Hydration?
Only you know for sure
2. Eat when I’m hungry, don’t eat when I’m not. Have tea or water — or wait it out instead.
Last month’s Crowdsourcing Accountability was the launch and January installment of a 12-part series: healthier eating goals for 2020.
Crowdsourcing accountability works three ways:
(1) I’m sharing my commitments with the world whether or not anyone reads about it. I have gone public with my intention and therefore I answer to more than just myself — I answer to the higher power, to the collective of which I’m a contributing part. This is an approach I’ve had success with all my life, but never before have the stakes or participation level been so high. There is no limit to the number of people who could be rooting for me. There is no limit to the number of people I can root for. I am accountable to everyone who reads for support, my learned knowledge, and my work.
(2) The steady, laddered approach works; instead of trying to reframe or replace 12 habits at at once (multitasking being impossible for most people) — focusing on a new one each month while hopefully not forgetting the previous ones — is far more likely to succeed.
