236: The Only Promises That Matter Are the Ones You Keep to Yourself


Listen Later

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to keep promises to everyone else… but when it comes to yourself? Poof. Out the window.


You’ll drag yourself to that 8 a.m. meeting, show up for a friend’s late-night drama, and say yes to commitments you never wanted to take on. But when it comes to your workout, an early bedtime, or precious family time? Suddenly, you’re “too busy,” “too tired,” or convincing yourself it’s okay to say “just this once.” This is a slippery slope into self-neglect.


Here’s the hard truth: the toughest boundaries aren’t the ones you set with other people—they’re the ones you set with yourself. And every time you break them, you chip away at your own self-trust. Ouch.


But, hey, if you're ready to break this cycle, join me in Reconnection: The Inner Child Healing Workshop Every Woman Needs on October 11 to uncover the patterns you didn’t even realize were running your life.


This week on Project Loving Myself, we’re getting real about why the promises you make to yourself are the only ones that actually matter—and how to stop ghosting yourself like a bad Tinder date.


💡 In This Episode, You’ll Explore:

✨ Why “just this once” is secretly sabotaging your self-respect

✨ How success can trick you into sacrificing what matters most

✨ The difference between boundaries that protect and habits that betray

✨ A simple way to define your top 3 non-negotiables—and finally keep them


So… what’s one promise you’re ready to stop breaking to yourself?


📱 Tag me @sanaiyahgurnamal + @projectlovingmyselfpodcast and let me cheer you on. Because at the end of the day, self-love isn’t bubble baths—it’s keeping your own damn word. ✨
