My daughter and I were talking about my going to biofeedback appointments. My daughter drove me to some of the appointments and attended them with me. I have decided to hold off on the appointments for awhile. So, I have put them on hold. (Biofeedback can help with migraine headaches.) My daughter confirmed a thought that I had. My biofeedback therapist was an accountability partner.

An accountability partner helps you achieve your goals and keeps you following your plan. Most of the time, we call them friends. A true friend can ask you all about your life and can help you stay with your goals. I love accountability partners!

I’ve noticed that sometimes, we don’t categorize goals as goals. It is a goal for a mother to have her children ready for school with homework done, lunches made and backpacks packed and ready to go. Did you ever think of getting ready for school each day as a goal? What about preparing meals, visiting with friends, play groups, etc.? You get the idea. We each accomplish goals every day. Keeping a list of those goals accomplished will help you understand and feel that you are successful. Hey! Then, you become your own accountability partner.

Professional businesses pay for accountability partners because someone to keep you on track is worth the financial compensation. Wait a minute, isn’t that what mothers do for their children all the time for free?
