How Your Core Values Keep You Accountable {and a giveaway!}

Posted on by

It’s so exciting to see how great everyone is doing on accountability this month. I love hearing from you. Thank you for all your emails. Your motivation keeps me motivated!

On a recent blog post I wrote, “Accountability oozes from our core values”. For example one of my core values is honesty. Because honesty is a core value of mine, when I tell someone I will do something, that means I will do it. That is why accountability works when it’s connected to my core values.

There are hundreds of core values. I would love to hear what your core values are in the comments below. Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. Winner announced Feb. 28.

Here’s a list of core values to select from (but not limited to): Love, Obedience, Patience, Quality, Security, Inspiring Others, Family, Accomplishment, Trust, Recognition, Peace, Mentoring, Wellness, Loyalty, Service, Honesty, Humor, Integrity, Faith, Fun, Respect, Persistence, Community, Creativity, Encouragement, Order, Nurturing, Excellence, Courage, Honor, Joy, Authenticity, Elegance.

Journal with God: Write in your journal all of your core values. Reflect on the many ways God has used these values throughout your life as a gift to you and to serve others.

7 Simple Truths to Accountability {that will hit you in the gut}

Posted on by

Almost five years ago I learned one of the most valuable lesson of my life.

Every time I think about it I almost have to catch my breath. This lesson lives within the central core of my beliefs, deep in my heart, permanently etched on my mind.

Just five months fresh off of life support and three months out of radiation I joined Team In Training with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to run my very first half marathon. It was thrilling to think about getting my body back into shape after the hell it had been through the previous year with chemotherapy, antibiotics, steroids, paralytics, and many more drugs.

I had no idea how in the world I was going to achieve such an enormous goal, 13.1 miles. But looking back I now see the unique thread that brought this dream of mine to fruition.

I did not understand then what I am fully aware of now.

Accountability works!

Anytime I set out to achieve a goal or even the slightest lifestyle change, the guaranteed formula for a successful result is staying accountable!

Here are 7 Simple Truths to Accountability that will give you a little gut check on why we must invest in accountability.

1) If we want to grow and make a lasting difference in our life we must maintain accountability. It is vital.

2) Accountability means showing up for yourself ­– living your best possible life right now, today!

3) Accountability shows respect towards others, and you are honoring yourself with self-respect when exercising accountability.

4) Accountability oozes from your core values, your character. Integrity. Honesty. Beliefs. Truths. Standards.

5) Accountability means you are stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for yourself. There’s no more room for excuses, for blame or for a lack of better words laziness.

6) We are accountable for how we spend our time. We all get 24 hours a day, no one gets more, and no one gets less. It’s our choice how we choose to spend it.

7) And finally accountability and procrastination do not occupy the same space. Which one do you choose to partner with?

Starting February 1st I am offering a FREE 28 Day Accountability Group. This group will be a small community to support and encourage one another. We will grow and learn from each other while moving towards our individual goals. It’s an opportunity to invest in ourselves. If you would like to join us, click here to sign up.

Who Are You?

Posted on by

What defines who you are?

For me, it’s always been my relational and/or career status. Either I’m a wife, mother, friend, Christian, Life Coach, writer or speaker. For as long as I can remember, I’ve never felt comfortable sitting with just being me, Linda. I’ve always felt like I needed something or someone to define me.

Lately my soul has been stirring three simple words…authenticity, truth, and realness.

A few weeks ago I was taking a walk through the woods with a very special friend. It was a beautiful day so we decided to stop and sit in the middle of the trail and continue our conversation. The next thing I knew we were literally laying on our backs just staring up at the sky laughing and chatting. In that moment I couldn’t help myself but take a quick picture, it was a little glimpse of heaven. (photo below)

Lying there, sharing my soul while laughing and crying, I felt authentic; truth and realness wash over me. I thought to myself, this is me, no pretense, no performance, simply me.

This might sound a little crazy, but over the past few months I’ve been in conflict with myself and couldn’t figure out why. And then as I was working through some of my coaching material it hit me right between the eyes. I’ve not been living out of my core values.

Everyone has unique values that are highly important to him or her. For me, my #1 value is authenticity. And if I live any other way, I end up lacking peace and joy in my life. Because it was so easy for me to get out of balance with my life values, I want to encourage you today to take a moment and write an inventory of what you value most. Ask yourself if you’ve been living out of your values and if not what will you do to get back on track.

I invite you to share with me in the comments your top 3 life values. I would love to hear from you!
