Get Nekkid!
I'm not especially comfortable, standing in front of TSA's full body scan, 'back-scatter' X-ray scanners. I'm less comfortable with a physical search, and always recall the frustrated gentleman's comment to a TSA screener, "Don't touch my junk!" ("junk?" or is it capitalized... "Junk?") Whatever.
Yet, every day, as we plan our activities, we should emulate TSA's full body scan.
Here's the deal... we all need someone to hold us accountable. Hopefully, we can teach ourselves to be our own Accountability "Czars."
We all know that we must establish long-term goals to be successful. Long-range goals are supported by several (many?) short, and/or medium-term goals. These MUST have time frames attached... or, how else do we measure our progress?
So, every morning, after your shower, stand in front of the mirror... naked, of course. Just pretend that you are a TSA screener. Check yourself out. Maybe there are a few extra pounds there. If so, they will be painfully obvious. Another long-term goal?
The main point. though, is to look yourself straight into you own eyes, and ask yourself, "What will I do today, to help reach my goals?" Make yourself a promise to do those things.
The next morning, do the same, but first, ask yourself, "What did I do yesterday? Did I do everything I promised myself to do?"
If you did not do the things you promised yourself, you will feel a bit guilty... because you broke a promise to yourself.
Instead of guilt though, a better reaction is to admit to a "small" failure; that you "slipped," and then make a commitment to yourself to do those things today.
You will find that it is very difficult to lie to yourself consistently, while looking straight into your own eyes.
Don't depend on your spouse, or a co-worker, to hold you accountable.
WE MUST HOLD YOURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE!
