Doing What I Said I'd Do

Here’s the truth: I do what I say I’m going to do, 95% of the time.

But there’s still that 5% where I procrastinate or make excuses or just simply don’t do it.

It drives me wild. Because I know that last 5% is the difference between being good and being great.

I want to be the kind of person who follows through on what she says she is going to do, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the time.

I’m working on commitment intensely at the moment. It’s my number one thing with myself, and it’s my number one thing with my clients.

Doing the thing you said you’d do. No matter what.

Today, I saw a website tab open on my computer from two weeks ago.

I’ve been saying I wanted to buy this posture trainer device for ages to help heal my shoulder from my injury (you stick it to your back every day and it vibrates when you slump or sit badly to remind you to sit up straight!).

But I haven’t bought it. It’s just been on the backburner. “I’ll get around to it.”

So today I opened the tab and bought it. Not because I even want it that much.

But because I damn well said I would buy it, and I am stepping into the version of me that commits 100% of the time, even with the tiniest, smallest, seemingly unnecessary commitments.

I’m committing like no one else – to see results like no one else.
