Commitment is often seen as a promise we make to others—our partners, family, friends, or workplace. But what about the commitment we make to ourselves? How often do we prioritize that relationship?
Take the classic example of New Year’s resolutions. At the start of the year, we feel energized and ready to take on our goals. We commit to exercising, eating healthy, staying hydrated, sleeping well, and practicing mindfulness. The first day goes great—we wake up early, head to the gym, go for a run, or attend a yoga class. We feel uplifted, energized, and accomplished.
That feeling is incredible, isn’t it? The sense of achievement, the surge of positivity, the belief that we are finally on the right track. But then, something happens.
Maybe on the second day, we wake up five minutes late. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, and we still manage to go to the gym. By the third day, the same thing happens, but this time, we feel a little rushed. Still, we push through.
Then Friday comes—a late-night party with friends. The next morning, we’re tired, sluggish, and decide to skip the workout. Saturday follows, a day off, yet somehow, we don’t make it to the gym.
Slowly, the discipline we started with begins to fade. The commitment that once felt so strong starts slipping through our fingers. And before we know it, our goals take a backseat.
It’s about showing up even when things don’t go as planned. It’s about understanding that discipline isn’t built in a day, but through daily decisions.
So, whether it’s your fitness journey, your career, your relationships, or your personal growth, the key to staying committed is to prioritize that relationship—just as you would with a loved one.
When you make your commitment non-negotiable, when you nurture it, respect it, and give it the attention it deserves, you’ll find that staying committed isn’t a struggle—it becomes a way of life.
Commitment is a reflection of how much we value something. If you truly value your relationship with yourself, you’ll find a way to stay committed. Prioritize it, nurture it, and most importantly—keep showing up.
