Do you trust yourself?
Do you trust that you will do what you say you will do; for yourself?
We are quick to make sure we follow through on things we say we will do for others, but when it comes to ourselves, we let things slip.
Here’s the truth that you may have not been told before, the fastest way for you to lose trust with yourself, and others, is to say one thing and do another.
I mean, if you had someone that constantly didn’t show up when they said they would or kept changing the dates, what would you think about that person?
Unreliable?
Flakey?
Would you start to lose trust in them?
It’s the same with ourselves, we often don’t see it that way.
It’s thoughts like:
I’ll do it tomorrow.
I’ll get to that eventually.
I’ll do it when things slow down.
I’m too tired.
I just want to relax.
Every time your words and actions don’t match, someone notices and that someone is you.
Your brain takes notice and you begin to lose integrity within yourself.
You stop listening to yourself.
You start believing the lie that you’re just a procrastinator and someone who starts something but doesn’t finish.
You’re not.
The 10-minute gardening goes beyond, “getting things done.” It’s about building trust with yourself, and teaching yourself to keep your word to yourself.
When you say "I'll do 10 minutes" and you actually do it, something magical happens, you BECOME. That person ALREADY in there (HINT: if she wasn’t in there, you wouldn’t be able to become).
Tasks didn’t get easier.
Time didn’t suddenly slow down.
There’s no big overhaul. It’s just 10 minutes.
10 minutes of keeping promises to yourself and building internal integrity, AND, you’re giving your brain proof that this is who you are.
So today, pick your 10 minutes. And then do the thing you said you'd do.
