I have to share a great insight by one of our students this past Wednesday night.
She was apologizing to us for her friends not showing up to take class as she had promised. She herself was
frustrated and confused because they were so excited to try the class after she had raved to them about it. And then, one by one they dropped out for one excuse or another.
And her insight? That her friends would drive anywhere in the city, anytime you asked if you invited them to have "a drink" with you... and would show up, but didn't give that same commitment if you invited them to " workout" with you. She was really disappointed in them for not wanting to do something good for themselves, for not sharing this experience with her and for not trusting her that this would be a great way to spend the evening together. Hmm... food for thought.
Do you see yourself in this scenario? Take a look.
And decide for yourself if you need to change your perceptions of what commitments you want and need to keep.
I am not sharing this to put my opinion on this situation. I am sharing this to invite you to see where it is you might be stopping
yourself from making and keeping commitments to take care of you.
