Why is it important to keep commitments to yourself?
Develop faith in yourself,you do this simply by doing small things consistently .Don’t break your word to yourself so if you say ,for example ,you know what I need to cut back on sugar ,salt whatever you make that promise to yourself and you don't break it no matter how difficult because it's not about losing weight it is about making a commitment to yourself and keeping it and earning respect of yourself ,earning faith in your own word so that when you say to yourself you're not going to do that anymore do not lose your power to this you would have developed a respect for the power of your word and when you give your word to yourself you keep it and if you keep your word to yourself you learn to trust that word because what happens is you you you start developing a sense of self-respect and self-esteem that comes from this relationship you forged with yourself. Carolyn Myss
Keeping my word to myself is how I activate the power inside of me. I know that keeping my word to myself provides me with an armour, a level of confidence, a feeling of pride.
When I keep the promises I make to myself I know that I can not only trust me, also get further I can count on me. I can tune into my intuition and trust it earlier rather than later.
I started making small promises to myself- I will wake up earlier on a Tuesday to run, I would rest on a Wednesday. There are so many reasons, justifications and rationales for changing my mind, not doing what I said. Consistently keeping your word to yourself says I value you, I ho;d you in high esteem.
Keeping your word and commitments to yourself and others will become a habit. it becomes easier and easier with practice. Having rituals also lead to developing trust and commitment of Self. When we trust and respect ourselves, Self esteem - how we see and value ourselves change.
Do something small daily to keep the promises you make to yourself and see how much power you generate within your life.
