Day 5: Keep your Promises

I have a problem - many know it. I get too busy doing things and forget the promises that I keep. I don't mean to break them, I just do. And I have .. cue the guilt train.

My brother knows of some....Splashtown...other things...and these are promises that I fully intend to keep - this year. So I may be late, but at least I will complete the promises.

How about you? Is that guilt train pushing you along because you haven't spend enough time with your family, completed the things you promised for your friends, or haven't really committed to completing things that you've started.

don't give up hope. you can still keep those. late is better than never.

Ok, I promise this is speaking MAINLY to me. But in order to really improve you - you have to authentic...you have to be genuine...and you have to keep your promises.

Like I said, this post is dedicated to me - the over committed, over whelmed person who thinks she can do it all. But I can't - sometimes.

Nonetheless, I try - and I know you do to! So my first matter of business is to genuinely try to improve this. I have in the past couple of months err...maybe weeks have been working on this.

Here are a couple of tips:
  1. Think about what you are promising
  2. Keep the promise in front of you
  3. Set a deadline ... or if it has a deadline write it down to complete ahead of time (crazy, I know)
  4. Acknowledge your promise problem & accept it (guilt won't do anything...)
  5. Ask the person you promised to remind you of your promise! (again, ahead of time
As an almost former promise breaker, I really believe that if you truly know what you are promising, become dedicated to prove that you are trustworthy...and do it...you'll feel so amazing!

Fear & guilt only come from broken promises.

So hop off that guilt train & join the promise wagon - I promise it's soooo worth it.

Promise you'll see me tomorrow!
Love always,
Lida
