DAILY, SIMPLE WAYS TO PRACTICE INNER ACCOUNTABILITY:

- Taking solitary walks to clear and process thoughts.
- Recognizing our power to accept or reject the thoughts our brain generates.
- Asking reflective questions to gain perspective on our identity, desires, and capabilities.

BETTER DECISION-MAKING WITH INNER ACCOUNTABILITY:

1. Choose what thought has the last word. Understanding your own preferences helps you see others' opinions and your own doubts as suggestions, not rules.
2. Set intentional standards for yourself on how you want to live. Identify and replace unhelpful standards like people-pleasing and perfectionism with new standards based on your own core values and things you find most important. 
3. Foster self-compassion. Replace guilt and pressured decision-making with your new inner motivation for genuine growth, not just behavioral change.
