I’ve been thinking about commitment lately. Not the kind we make to people – but the kind we make to ourselves.
I can show up for others. When I tell someone I will do something, I show up, on time, and do it. I wouldn’t dream of disappointing others. But when I tell myself I will do something for myself…that is another story. I have become aware that I do not value the commitments I make to myself the same as the ones I make to others. It is so easy to put things off. I have made putting things off a habit. Yes, a habit. A bad habit. And this habit is hurting me. Every time I put off doing something for myself I am telling myself that I am not important. I am reinforcing an old belief that I am not worthy.
Thankfully, I woke up today and decided to make a commitment to retrain my brain. I am doing that by keeping promises to myself. Staying in integrity with myself. I know it works because I’ve done it before and I can do it again. This blog post is me showing up for myself. I am setting out on an adventure to reclaim my sense of self worth and learn to trust myself again…one small promise at a time.
And for tonight…I am complete.
Much love,
Suzi
