It’s a great time of year to make changes. There are changes happening all around us. The grass is beginning to go from dead and yellow to green and living. Soon the trees will start to bud and the tulips will come up from the ground.
I am ready to make some changes in my life and I know there are other people like me. So I put it out there to see if anyone else wants to make some personal changes in hopes that we could encourage each other in the process.
This is not a fancy program, just a girl who wants to do life with other people. It’s much more fun for me to go for a walk when I have someone to walk with. It’s much harder for me to break a commitment to something if I know there is one or two or ten people rooting for me to succeed.
There is power in accountability when it’s used properly. It’s not meant to be a guilt driven system that makes us feel bad about our failings. It’s meant to be a support for the times we need it and a “high five” for the times we succeed.
There is no amount of accountability that can make you the person you don’t want to become. So this is totally up to you. It’s your choice how much you want to share about your successes and failures, it’s your choice to share what you want to talk about what you want and keep private what you want, it’s your choice how much you utilize this accountability to help you grow. No one will judge you for what you do or do not do and no one will question you. You give as much as you are able to and use the women who say yes, as a support system to see you be all you can be.
In turn you will do the same for other women. Be an encouragement to others who want to make changes like you. Let them know that you are thinking about them, let them know that when you said no to that piece of cheesecake you thought of them, let them know that when you went for that jog that you were inspired by them.
If you can do it, I can do it and if I can do it, you can do it. We can do it together.
How Can I Make Changes?
So what you have to do is decide where you want to make changes and set some goals for yourself. These goals could be incremental – for example, you may want to cut out sugar and bread. Start by cutting out sugar one week and then adding bread then next week.
I have broken up my changes in these categories
SPIRITUAL
EATING
EXERCISE
PERSONAL GROWTH
TIME MANAGEMENT
PROFESSIONAL
You may have other categories to add to this list.
You can make changes any way you want to. The only thing I would recommend is not trying to make too many changes at once. Take it slowly and make one major change at a time. I am going to take each of these areas and focus on them one week at a time. One week I will focus on eating and the next week I will continue with my eating goals and add in exercise. Then the third week I will continue with the eating and exercise and add in my Spiritual goals ECT. I will keep in mind my eating, exercise and spiritual goals right from the beginning but my success will only be based on my focus for that week.
We can communicate with each other through facebook since almost everyone replied through facebook. I will send a message to everyone and then we will all get each other’s replies and can respond with encouragement. I will let you all know a couple of times a week how I am doing on my goals.
But the first thing we need to do is decide where we need to make changes. You might only have one area you need to make changes, or maybe you have 10 areas. It’s doesn’t matter, there is no formula or rules to this.
I will send you my goals for the week and give you updates on how I am doing with those goals and I encourage you to do the same. I am hoping that this will make it a little more fun, as we will have each other to share our stories with.
Even though you may not know everyone in the group we all share something in common. We all want to grow, so that brings us together. You never know where an unlikely friendship could begin so open yourself up to be a help and support and allow yourself to receive some help and support from others who want to grow like you.
Feel free to invite anyone you know to join us and lets see what we can accomplish together.
So are you in?
K … see you on Facebook then!! Awesome idea!!!

I am really looking forward to this!!
I have been wondering what I can do to help with the ‘accountability’ part of some life changes that I want to start. Perfect timing. Facebook is a great way for people to talk as there is usually someone on the computer throughout the day to listen and give support when it is needed most. Thanks for starting this up!! It is a needed lifeline for those who are not in a lifegroup or just need that extra boost in the middle of the day when others may be working or unavailable. 
This is totally awsome. I am in.
An excellent book I am reading from 1977, “Lord Change Me!” from Evelyn Christenson. Very basic but very challenging.
