You’ll benefit when you tell people your “give up” goals.
Tell your friends when you want to give up overeating, overspending, or overreacting.
Tell them when you want to give up gossip, impatience, or cynicism.
The more people who know, the harder it becomes to slip back quietly.
Accountability keeps you honest.
There is strength in vulnerability.
Declaring what you want to outgrow invites support, not shame. It reminds you that change is not meant to be done in isolation.
Progress begins the moment you stop pretending you’ve got it all under control.
Your “go up” goals, however, are different. That’s for another entry. ;-)
