Breaking promises to yourself? How to stop (Episode 318)


Listen Later

Breaking promises to yourself? Let’s talk about how to trust yourself more so you can stop abandoning yourself! 

In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m digging into why breaking promises to yourself can feel so defeating… and why it’s usually not because of laziness or a lack of willpower. If you keep letting yourself down, especially when you’re stressed, burnt out, or stuck in your own head, this episode will help you understand what’s really driving the pattern and how to stop letting yourself down so that you can stop punishing yourself and improve your self worth. 

I’ll walk you through practical mental health tips you can actually use: how to keep promises to yourself in small and realistic steps, how to develop self trust when your confidence is low, and how to trust yourself again after you’ve slipped. We’ll also talk people pleasing, boundaries, building self-esteem, and how rebuilding self trust helps you protect your peace, reduce stress and anxiety, and feel more solid in yourself.


👉 Ready to stop abandoning yourself and rebuild self-trust? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: Breaking promises to yourself? Tired of letting yourself down? In this episode I’ll show you why it keeps happening, and how to rebuild self-trust with practical mental health tips that help you protect your peace.
