CHAPTER 1 OF 10

The Promise-and-Shame Cycle

Let's Talk About It

An oversized promise can produce excitement, overload, and then shame when ordinary life intervenes. The shame often fuels an even bigger promise. Break the cycle by making a commitment that matches your current capacity, including its least impressive days.

Guided Activity

Trace your last promise from announcement to abandonment.

What did you promise?What capacity did it assume?When did the plan strain?What did you say about yourself afterward?What smaller commitment would have been honest?

Affirmation for this resource
