Roz Shares – The Biggest Commitment in Life is “Between ME with ME,” and “Between YOU with YOU!”

How are you on commitments? Do you put yourself first?

Are  you more dedicated to keeping commitments with others than with yourself? 

There is something wrong with this picture IF you continually put others before yourself.  YOU are the MOST IMPORTANT person TO YOU! (Or you should be!)

If we do not take care of ourselves there will be very little to share with others?

If we do not keep our commitments to ourselves eventually it will take its toll on who we are. 

After 911 I experienced the darkest time of my life.  Sure we all had sadness, some more than others.  As a New Yorker and one who was caught in the Manhattan lockdown and had to walk miles to get home, I still cannot talk about 911 without getting choked up, but it was more than that.

Right before 911 I had lost a nice amount of weight.  I can’t remember now… maybe 20 or 25 pounds or so.  AFTER 911 I gained it all back.  Now I had to lose it again as everything was tight and I was not comfortable – in fact I was miserable. I did not want to buy bigger clothes.  The only problem was…

Anything I promised myself I did not follow through.  IF I went on a diet it would last a week or two, if I said I was going to exercise, that too did not last for long.

I always considered myself a survivor, someone who was strong, but…   because of my own lack of commitment to myself during this period… Eventually I felt like such a disappointment to myself that my self esteem and confidence was in the toilet.

When I did my first Tony Robbins program I turned that all around.  I began to walk at least five days a week.  I remember marking off the calendar on the fridge.  I began to watch what I ate and lost the weight (I  need to do that once again), I began to feel good about me BECAUSE this was “all about me!” You know how people say:  “IT IS ‘NOT’ ALL ABOUT YOU!”  Well that was and I was PROUD OF IT!

My point, WE “ALL” need to put “ourselves on top of our TO DO Lists!”

I am sitting here now, almost 3:00 am writing three blog posts because of a commitment I made to write 5 blog posts a week for 30 days. 

While I made the commitment to write the blog posts to Faith Barnard’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge Group on Facebook, the biggest commitment was the one I made to myself!

I had wanted to work on three blogs at the same time, but I think this one, where I can express myself and perhaps inspire and encourage others is the most important one to start with.
