    In this episode of Wonder Boldly, I’m sharing a personal commitment I took on: going live on Instagram every day for 30 days. It was an experience that taught me profound lessons about commitment, self-discovery, and habit-building. I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and the surprising insights I gained; not just about social media, but about myself.

    Tune in as I discuss:

    • Why accountability, even self-imposed, is a powerful motivator
    • How habit stacking helped me stay consistent
    • The importance of building trust with yourself through commitment
    • The impact on my Instagram account
    • Why I’d do it all over again, despite some surprising results

    What You’ll Learn:

    1. The Power of Commitment: How the thought of “being watched” helped me stay consistent and what it revealed about my own fears of failure.
    2. Habit Stacking for Success: How pairing commitments, like daily exercise, and reading made me more consistent overall.
    3. Navigating Challenges: Why I showed up even during a tough emotional month and how focusing on others kept me motivated.
    4. Instagram Live Results: The unexpected ups and downs of going live every day for 30 days
    5. Reflections and Next Steps: Why I’d absolutely do this again and how it deepened my connections with my followers

    Key Takeaways:

    • Accountability Is Key: Even without external pressure, the feeling of being accountable to others can drive consistency.
    • Small Wins Matter: Commitments like reading one chapter a day might seem minor but can have a big impact.
    • Engagement vs. Metrics: While my account reach dipped, my connections with followers grew stronger, a trade-off I found valuable.
    • Consistency Builds Trust: Sticking with a commitment, even in tough times, strengthens your belief in yourself.

    What about You?
    What’s one thing you can commit to for the next 30 days? Whether it’s a personal or professional goal, or something completely new, I’d love to hear about it! Share your journey with me on Instagram, and let’s cheer each other on.
