Respect Promises Made to Yourself as if They Were Made to Someone Else

Its easy to break a promise to yourself because it only affects you.

When you break a promise to someone else, you let them down and hurt your credibility.

That knowledge keeps you from promising something you cant do, and it pushes you to actually follow through.

That lack of pursuit toward personal well-being can lead to serious burnout, and even depression.

Everyone knows the customer service principle underpromise and overdeliver.

Treat promises to yourself in the same way.

Keep your promises realistic and actively plan out a way to follow through.

If you dont think you could do something, dont promise yourself that you could.

That self-reliance can increase your confidence and help you take on new habits.
