What Writing Is Teaching Me About Keeping Promises to Myself?

Daily breaking of promises was hurting me till I took the last one firmly. The last words I gave to myself changed me completely. I am talking about the words which I gave to myself before expressing myself in blogs. It did not only help me to learn new things but also told me my value; the value of becoming someone who is productive, not the one who wastes time. Now I know if I will value my words, the words are going to help me in valuing all around. It is easy to break promises but a difficult task to fulfil them. And especially when it is with yourself, it becomes much heavier to fulfill.
One and a half months ago, I was living a very comfortable life. But I was facing problems: overthinking, nervousness while doing anything, hesitation while expressing, frustrating behaviour. These problems were creating trouble for me. I used to promise myself that I would work upon myself to be free from all these problems, but I never used to fulfill it. This was only because I was non-productive and wasting time instead of doing something valuable. But I was determined to do something to free myself from all these problems.
I promised myself that I was going to work on myself and become productive. I started writing days later. A few days remained the same as before. Things started to change after five or six days. Overthinking, nervousness, and hesitation were decreasing gradually. When I noticed the first signs of change, I promised myself to continue it. The promise that I gave to myself has taught me life-changing lessons; the lessons of discipline, consistency, value of time, starting instead of overthinking, and much more.
There were days when I was not motivated to write, but even then I wrote. The promise reminded me to write daily. Valuing my words has given me courage to do something productive and learn something positive. I told you in my early blogs that whatever is going to happen will happen, but I will only learn. That thought was the first result of my words to myself to change myself.
These things are evolving me to express myself with utmost honesty. The words I kept gave roots to self-trust, which I was lacking before. Confidence is increasing day by day by writing blogs continuously. Writing made me understand that if you have the willpower to keep your promise, you can do anything.
Now skipping writing feels difficult. Self-belief does not allow me to leave even a single day. That confidence is helping me to show up every day. Valuing our words does not only change us but defines our character too.
