There are people who give up their promises as easily as they give their word to do something. If you sometimes break the promise, it's time to start working on yourself.
Instruction manual
one
Understand that each fulfilled promise raises your self-esteem and has a beneficial effect on self-confidence and self-reliance. This in turn has a positive effect on your ability to achieve your goals. It turns out that learning to keep a given word is beneficial by many criteria. You have an incentive to work on yourself.
2
The unfulfilled promise that you made to another person or yourself depresses and inspires real anguish. In order not to be sad because of the broken word and not to suffer the pangs of conscience, it is worth learning to keep vows. Think about the fact that otherwise the glory of a frivolous, unreliable, windy, optional person can be entrenched to you. Let your words do not differ from deeds, then your reputation will not be high.
3
Think carefully before you make a promise. Some people so easily give the floor to do something impossible, or set themselves too short a time. Sometimes this happens due to frivolity or under the control of emotions. Be wary of such conditions. Calm down first, and then make a promise. Consider your capabilities. Make a reserve in case of force majeure. It is better to have a margin of time and make a surprise than to be late in fulfilling your promise.
4
Do not give promises that you are not going to fulfill. Some people do not know how to refuse and believe that it is better to agree with another person than to explain something. Be honest with others and learn to say no. Tell me directly why you are not comfortable with the request or use some excuse, but do not give the person knowingly false hope, this is ugly.
5
Write down what you promised to do. This will help you keep your word. Surely it’s unpleasant for you to hear reproaches or endless reminders from another person. Prove yourself a responsible person you can rely on, and not a forgetful messy person you don't want to deal with.
6
Pay particular attention to the frivolous promises you make to others. They can quickly be erased from memory. After all, sometimes it is necessary to focus on something global, and the little things themselves fly out of my head. Therefore, try as soon as possible to do what is expected of you.
7
Boost your mindfulness. Some people are constantly absorbed in their thoughts and walk like in a dream. Such people may forget about the big promise. Live here now. Turn on when you are talking about something with a person, and try to learn everything that you are talking about. Be sure to remember everything that you borrow from others and promise to return by a certain date. This applies to both things and money. It happens that good relations are destroyed due to the manifestation of optionality.
