How do you feel about having an accountability partner? I'm not 100% game, but I do have people in my life that keep me accountable. What I DO like, is when someone sees me and questions my motives, or thinks I may be going astray, that they talk to me about it. It's those crucial conversations that can really improve our relationships and our personal lives. I have a few friends that do this for me, but my main accountability "partner" would be my husband, affectionatly known on my social as The Rev.
I was having a particularly hard season in my life and Ken said, "I think you may be developing an anxiety disorder." We talked about it and I immediately took action. And that's the second part of accountability that matters: taking action. If you find a weakness and don't address it, you're in denial and denying yourself of something better.
I was at a conference a number of years ago... okay, I think it was 2012 hahahaha! They gave us a worksheet that is quite thought provoking. This one is faith based but it would be simple to modify.
CAUTION!
