Trust is partially born out of being true to our word or our promises. A broken promise to yourself, is a broken promise to your inner child. We are human and fallible. Remember to acknowledge when we haven’t lived up to who we promised to be or what we promised to do. Maybe you promised more than you can deliver, acknowledge that and modify your promise. I was reminded today of how much power there is in keeping a promise to yourself, especially when you have a history of breaking them. It’s never too late to try again, never too late to follow through with your promise. It’s beautiful to watch that inner child delight in the joy, comfort and safety of “their” adult being true to their word. If you’ve stopped making promises to yourself, or stopped believing them, start small. Start today. Make a small commitment that you know you can fulfill, acknowledge the significance of fulfilling it.
