Commitment about Yourself
The one thing we never want to be compromised is our word or an obligation we make. Why is a person’s word or promise so important to be fulfilled? If someone fails to uphold his or her commitment to us, we are devastated and feel betrayed. We never consider the obstacles, which could have hindered them or prevented their completing that promise. We just automatically brand them as a liar and loss all faith and trust in them.
Commitment it is not only of great value to others but it should also be as important when I make it to me. I esteem it as the very basis for the integrity within me. I believe if you can’t trust the truthfulness of my words then how can you possibly trust anything about me? I feel my word is as binding as my signature.
The thing that disappoints and angers me is my failure to be as committed to keeping my promises to myself, as I am to others. I make decisions to do and accomplish things in my heart and mind but those are the first ones to be unfulfilled. I put other people’s desires and other things first and then fail to achieve my own objectives. I justify it by telling myself I can do it later, but later never comes. I procrastinate and say I will accomplish it after the fact, but the time or resources may no longer be available. I always have an excuse but never take the required action.
We should be dedicated to being as truthful to ourselves as we are to others and remember those promises are as binding as well. Considering our needs to be as valuable as those we associate with, will release the anxiety we sometimes feel because we are ignoring ourselves.

8 Steps to Motivate Yourself Anytime and Anywhere
I don’t want to wasting your time with reading unuseful opening content. Here the 8 steps to motivate yourself:
1 step: Visualize the happy scenes. This is very important, when you feel happy, your mood is naturally lifted.
2 step: Break down the task into a series of smaller, doable bite size pieces. Then, you will not be overwhelmed by the task on hand and can focus on one small bite a time.
3 step: When you complete a task on hand, even a relatively small task, reward yourself with something you enjoy.
4 step: Keep a journal on your achievements. With every achievement, your confidence will soar and you will be motivated to achieve more.
5 step: Remember to incorporate fun factor in your day or even in your task. You can arrange a bowling game after work or make the party late for meeting tell a story.
6 step: Form healthy support network. They can be the colleagues whom you work closely with, parents of your child’s friends or your friends. When you need a pep up, they are a good source to turn to.
7 step: Read motivational articles and books. Listen to motivational tapes and CDs. Reach out and fill up your motivational reservoir.
8 step: Keep pictures of people or things that provide strong motivation around you. Have the picture of your dream car on your screen saver. Paste motivational stickers on your desk, your mirror or your fridge door.
Ok, now you have read it, what you need to do is apply it!
