Nowadays, more and more yoga and other self-help mentors are popping up,
just about everywhere you turn. Mostly, they promise you peace and
better health. And many of them try to give you a completely new
philosophical perspective on the entire universe and your place in it,
usually echoing some Oriental viewpoint about this life and life after
death. They do some good and help some people in general ways, but
rarely do they try to help you solve your personal problems about your
everyday life. In this book, The Accountability Code, author Marci
Barker shares her professionally and personally developed six-point
system called - you guessed it - the Accountability Code, to not only
help you with your sense of well-being and your physical fitness, but
also to help you solve your very own personal problems. Marci has a
university degree in Life and Fitness (how many other mentors or
trainers do you know that have a bona fide collegiate degree related
directly to their work?) and her several years of successful teaching
experiences as a personal trainer (see the many very positive
testimonials of highly satisfied clients on her website) to authenticate
her and her expertise. Marci has set up a fun, personable website at
funandsustainable.com that is filled with free, short videos featuring
Marci herself talking with you to help you set up your own treatment
program of mindset orientation, movement exercises, and nutrition
advice. You can also engage in live online chats with Marci there, as
well as set up a personal, over-the-phone consulting appointment with
her for personal help geared to your specific situation or pressing
problem. The following list of the six principles of her Accountability
Code in this book shows what she trains you to focus on to go even
beyond all her online help in mindset, movement, and nutrition:
Reflection -- meditate on your feelings about your values, goals,
problems Humility -- modestly review your importance, related to who you
can be Planning -- make a written, detailed proposal for achieving
success Implementing -- put into use your plan and your desired skills
or values Commitment -- dedicate yourself to a person or a cause
Feedback -- evaluate information from others, as a basis for improving
To train you in how to use the six principles, Marci conscientiously,
thoroughly walks you through numerous examples of the Accountability
Code as it has been successfully used in the past to refine values,
achieve goals, and solve problems. If you have questions about applying
the six principles in your own life, you can always contact Marci
through her website. She loves helping people improve their lives.
