“Accountability feels like an attack when you’re not ready to
acknowledge your toxic behavior.” Ask the people in your life to keep you accountable of your progress. We’re often scared of being completely truthful about the depths of what we feel because we’re subconsciously afraid of judgment. Be mindful of who you’re comfortable telling and the people you choose to confide in. I often joke that my best friend is my “human diary” as I have (thankfully) been able to be mostly transparent about what I feel when I confide in her, despite how ugly it may be. In some sense, accountability also works as ‘external pressure’ — an extra motivation to become better versions of us. This could be progress in the way we think of ourselves, being disciplined in our gym routine, or tracking our mental health.
