Self Promise
I haven't ever made news years resolutions. I don't bother because I'm terrible about keeping my word to myself. I'll walk miles to keep my word to anyone else. If I tell someone I will, I do. In the past, instead of personal resolutions, I only reflect upon what transpired in the past year and how the new year will be full of more surprises; some good, some bad. Yet, this year, during the first week of December, I can't stop thinking about how I will change my behavior toward myself. This year; I'm going to dedicate it fully to my happiness, not my obligations, not reletives that are scientifically related, by blood, but only to those, related or otherwise, connected to my heart. I am on the road to discovering what being loving and kind to myself is all about. Stay tuned to see if I do keep my word to myself, I know I will, you'll see! IF you have ways that you practice to show yourself loving kindness, please share them!

Hello Pam!

Hahaaha, I know the feeling! I too do anuthing to forill my promises to others, but to myself.....oh I am sooo neglective and week!LOL But it's already a step towards the goal when you allow yourself to THINK about it.

I think we all struggle with keeping promises to ourselves, no matter how big or small.
ReplyDeleteI had promised myself I would take off Bodhi Day, and then talked myself out of it. Look what happened...ended up with a raging cold, I guess so I could take the day off. It has been a wonderful day, and I feel better every hour. Thinking my body was sending me a message -- KEEP YOUR PROMISES TO YOURSELF OR ELSE!!! LOL
Anyway, still sorry that the my cold waylaid our plans. If it was warm out, I would probably try to go...really hope that the weather warms up soon. We definitely will get out to the labyrinth in the next couple of weeks, warm weather or not.
Hi Pam, thank you so much for visiting. Love reading this. The way I show kindness to myself is by honouring the part of me that needs to create and is an artist. If I don't see my days and needs to create and make work as important as any other tasks/days then I feel myself begin to wither and shrivel. Life has got so much better since I've honoured and embraced the artist in me fully!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on realising your 'heart' goals, what a lovely concept :)
