Commitment to Self

Sometimes we just need to make a commitment to ourselves. We can't always rely on others to give us what we need.


Today is about being honest about what that looks like. Recognizing that it's not selfish to take care of our wants and needs first, and learning to not feel guilty about it. Sometimes we need to just give in and live for the moment, even with the understanding that our choices might hurt us or others in the future. It helps to know that others do the same. It's about where you're at in life and trying to fill your needs- not a personal attack.


Recognizing this, and allowing room for yourself and others to be the messy humans that we all are, can help a lot towards releasing the emotional burden of being in that state - or being on the receiving end of it from someone else. Especially when we are low, and so desperate that we are willing to sacrifice for that quick hit - the last thing we need is to add guilt to it.


Without the added guilt - it's much easier to be able to break the cycle by actually getting that reward from those choices and putting it to use to shift us forward instead of getting stuck in the loop of seeking those quick fixes.


Today's intention is to reflect on any past transgressions - to allow yourself to release any guilt around them. And allow yourself to release any guilt over the times when you allowed yourself to be used as part of someone else's transgressions.

Take a moment to see if there is any way to see those choices and actions as the cry for help that they are - and to honour the underlying need that led to those choices.
