What Is Worth More Than Your Word?
What Is Worth More than your Word?
We think of this statement way too often concerning what we tell others. But what about what we promise ourselves? Have you ever thought about that?
When you make a promise to yourself over and over again and break it, do you think it is any less damaging to yourself than if someone else breaks a promise to you?
I would say it is more damaging, actually. Because the broken promise not only effects your self esteem, but it teaches your subconscious that you are not a doer of your word and that your not important.
Did you know that the majority of morbid obesity is in people who are caregivers? They learn at an early age that self esteem is won by giving to others. They use up all their energy before there is ever enough for themselves. When it comes time to nourish themselves, the only energy that is left is for eating. So, the rewarding begins.
This can happen in your life with many different kinds of habits. But that doesn't mean that today isn't the day you can say to yourself, "I'm every bit as important as work, as my family, as my friends!" And take back the power you need to control the habits you have formed from not keeping your word to yourself.
Your word for today: "I take back my power I have given away to others and realize that if I don't take care of myself first, there will be no self left to take care of them. My life, my body, my happiness is important to me."
