I have not mentioned sharing your goals with anyone because many times in the goal setting process others may have a negative reaction and weaken your resolve. If you stumble along the way they will point out your behavior and again it may cause you to abandon the goal. At this stage the opposite is true. You have already achieved much in the process and sharing your process with someone who cares about you can be a reinforcer as well as personally rewarding. It is not that you are seeking praise but rather another way to strenghten the habits that you have already developed.

Work Task:
Share with someone you respect what you have experienced and where you are in the goal setting process.
