When you break promises to yourself, like waking up for a sunrise, you erode your own trust and make it harder for others to believe you. Keeping those commitments builds energy and accountability. It's about being impeccable with your word, starting with yourself.
When we make commitments to ourselves, so if you go to bed every night and go, "I really want to see the sunrise tomorrow," and then you sleep through it, you're actually breaking your word to yourself and you're teaching yourself that your word is not worthy. And if your word's not worthy to yourself, it can't be worthy to anybody else. No one else can actually believe you if you can't believe yourself. So not only have you created this practice that sets you up for the day and gives you more energy and gives you more gratitude, which is incredibly important, You've also done something that you may not have even been aware of, but you've been keeping your word to yourself. And that in and of itself creates so much more action and so much more accountability in your life. And it's one of the basic Four Agreements, be impeccable with your word. And, you know, they talk about being impeccable with your words about others, but also being impeccable with your words yourself.
