I listened to a podcast yesterday about accountability partners. I’ve never had one, but the idea sounds very good. In short, an accountability partner is someone that you meet with regularly who makes sure you are taking action. The point is to have someone that keeps you honest about taking action, and perhaps even inspire anxiety or guilt to push you to do the things you committed to. But with the law of attraction, this isn’t how we try to be productive.
The most important part is that you feel good, so what an accountability partner would be for, in the law of attraction sense, would be to help you feel good about your particular goal.
I suppose, it’s almost like mutual coaching. What you need is someone who is supportive of your vision or someone who simply believes YOU can apply the LoA. For me, one of the hardest parts of working on any project or working towards any goal is simply staying focused on it. It’s not so hard to create the dream the first time, or just think about it, but to really put your emotional attention on it, and to feel good about it that takes some focus. Seriously, one of the biggest problems with getting into your new story is to keep up telling the new story. So what a visionary/inspiration partner would do is simply make sure that you are still in alignment with your goal, over the long term. Sounds funny, but they don’t have to listen to a word you say, only your feeling behind it. When you get to higher vibe things, they could encourage you to dwell on it. If you are both familiar with something like The Work or Releasing, they could guide you through some quick exercises if needed.
I know it happens to me all the time. It happened this morning, actually. Yesterday I spent some time playing with WordPress plugins (twitter integration, related posts, etc), and saw someone charging $500 as a package deal for doing WordPress updates. I said “Hey, I could do that!” But already this morning I started thinking about all the annoying parts of it, and it’s hardly as appealing as yesterday. But since it’s not my core focus – personal dev- I’m going to simply let it go for now.
Your job, as with any goal, is to continue telling your story to your partner the way you want it to be. Do this often enough – aligning with your goal – it must be getting closer.
If your partner doesn’t hear your alignment, they can ask you what’s really cool about that or what has gone amazing recently. I’m sure there are some really
I suppose here’s the accountability part of having a partner: you have a set time, either every day or every week, to make sure that you keep reentering into alignment!
I just made this all up, so if you have any experience with doing something like this, please share!

I do have an "accountability partner" that I work with, although we call each other "Creation Partners" which is probably a little more accurate description of what we do.
It's a pretty simple process. We meet over the phone for only about 30 minutes once a week on Monday mornings (we used to do it every morning, and it was really effective, but scheduling became a problem). We simply create an intention for the week together. We listen to see if the other person is really inspired by the intention they are creating and we help each other to get clear and to remove any blocks or resistance to the intention.
I find it to be a really effective practice. You just have to make sure that your partner is a "committed listener". In other words, they are committed to your committment. Does that make sense? So, if I am committed to being Love, or Peace, or Prosperity, they are committed to listening for anything that is not aligned with that vibe. (If there is any time that a non-aligned vibe will creep in for me, it's Monday mornings….)
Creation Partners, that's a great name. I can see how amazing daily would be, but kinda hard scheduling-wise. And surely – It's basically about them coaching you, so they have to be committed to your commitment!
Thanks for the actual experience. I think I need to find a creation partner!
