The Most Important Commitment We’ll Ever Make

Lately, as fall has been slowing us down, we’ve been feeling some questions come up. 

What areas of life are we staying true to ourself and our commitments?
In what areas are we challenged to commit to ourselves?
Where are there commitments that are no longer joyful or supportive? 
How can we honor our deepest commitments to ourselves, to our growth and healing, to releasing patterns and embracing our peace and wellbeing?

Commitment doesn’t have to mean perfection, it doesn’t mean we punish ourselves for an “off” day or have to get it right all the time, but it is a way to build trust with ourselves, with our subconscious minds.  

It’s a way to show up in our own lives, as our own friend, as a way to respect and love ourselves deeper.  

We seem to jam pack so many commitments in our lives, we are committed to our jobs, to our families, our friends, to netflix binging, to overthinking, and many more things whether supportive to our growth or not.  

But how often do we make the intentional decision to commit to ourselves? To our own growth? To our own healing and accountability? To the future versions of us?   

Commitment can feel difficult and even uncomfortable. Because it asks us to show up more fully, more intentionally than we’re used to.
 
It asks us to take more responsibility for the ways we treat ourselves, for the things we accept or don’t accept, for the choices we make, and for the way we spend our time and energy.
 
One thing I’ve learned is that how we show up for ourselves is often how we show up for others, especially subconsciously. 
 
If we are flakey with showing up for ourselves, we might also be flakey for others, instead showing up for distractions or not taking our time or others’ seriously, because maybe we are afraid to disappoint people including ourselves, so we keep the bar low in the first place.
 
If we show up for others too often instead of showing up for ourselves, it could be because subconsciously, we don’t believe we are worthy of being shown up for. So we also don’t allow others to show up for us.
 
Or we believe we are somehow inherently more “useful” or “lovable” when we give without asking for what we need in return.
 
Or maybe we feel downright guilty and selfish for putting ourselves first.
 
Committing to ourselves doesn’t have to be a grand thing that happens overnight.
 
It can look like implementing small changes that have a big impact over time, like gratitude journaling every morning, or going on a mental health walk every day, or eating cleaner, or hypnotherapy every few weeks.
 
Whatever it is we choose, we are committing to the greatest thing in our lifetime– ourselves.
 
It’s a worthwhile investment that always pays off long- term when we put in the work. It helps us grow, and helps us create a life we are deeply excited and happy about.
 
You are absolutely worth the commitment!
