Sup people, I have a very simple question.(For those with short attention spans just read this and last paragraph, most of this post is just some needed venting) What has worked best to make you accountable for your own efforts? i.e. blogging, tracking progress.

I ask because I feel that I am right on the edge of a major breakthrough in my game and in my life in general. I discovered pickup a few years ago, when I hit the low point of my life the freshman year of college, I almost had a mental breakdown from the stress, loneliness and depression.

After that i realized that nobody will like me if i don't like myself, so i set on a journey of self improvement and acceptance. It has been almost two years and I have improved my inner game and life in so many ways. I have finally started doing things I have always wanted to do ( like martial arts, dancing). I have my anxiety and depression under control, I'm off my medicine.

BUT, there is still one area of life i have trouble with and that is with women. I know there are tons of women attracted to me (I kinda hate acknowledging but i am very attractive, have been told so again and again, hell last night i heard a group of girls chilling with me talk about how cute I was when i left the room, i couldn't even hold a conversation with them though).

It seems like there is an invisible wall that keeps me from being the man i know i can be, but i just can't seem to break through it quite yet. (Whew that was very therapeutic, kinda needed to get these thoughts out my head)

Anyway im thinking of ways that i can hold myself accountable, force myself to expand my comfort zone so to speak, and i was just wondering if y'all could share what you have used to get your ass off the couch, reading self-improvement shit(swear its like a drug man), and out there learning and experiencing.

Accountability is the worst form of motivation, for countless reasons. It often does far more harm than good. If you want motivation focus on all the great things that will come from taking action and that should generate enthusiasm.

“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Word you are totally right.

However i am of the opinion that anything you can do to motivate yourself helps, and tracking your progress can reinforce your enthusiasm.

Honestly im just trying to figure out a way for self-accountability (a point i probly didn't make clear in my original post.
