Primos y Primas, Grab that cafecito☕⠀ New Season of the Dear God Podcast STREAMING NOW 🙌⠀{sound on to listen} 🎙 ⠀—⠀ Dear God, Why don't promises work? 〰️ 🌟 Primos Y Primas, our new normal is getting more real every day. We start our daily mantras with "I promise after COVID I will...."God, I promise if you get me out of this one I will..." and we've been taught to keep our commitments and to not break a promise. You probably go out of your way to make sure you don’t let someone down, but not if that someone is you. If you make promises, set goals or intentions for yourself, they are often the first to go when things get busy. Why is this? In this solo episode, I want to talk about why breaking promises to yourself is damaging, and how to actually keep them. More often than not, a promise you made to yourself has the purpose of bettering you in some way. Maybe it’s starting to run in the mornings, making time to read, having coffee on your porch in quiet once a week, or getting a massage because you never do anything for you. There’s a reason why you made the promise, whether it’s for health, sanity, or pure joy. However, do these promises create a pressure that dilutes who we are to appease the taste of others or the world? ...Grab that cafecito, Tune in! Don't forget to check out this week's episode!
