The Importance of Commitment

Welcome to your November Monthly Insight. This month, we focus on commitment—a powerful word that touches every part of us: our mind, body, and energy. Commitment shapes our habits, relationships, and personal growth. Let's explore simple ways to connect with commitment across yourself.

In today's fast-moving world, sticking to commitments often gets overshadowed by the temptation of quick fixes and trendy fads. But commitment is more than just making promises; it's a key part of what keeps us grounded and happy. Whether it's in our personal relationships, careers, or self-improvement journeys, being committed gives us stability and purpose. It pushes us to put in the time and effort to reach our goals, which leads to more satisfaction and resilience. By understanding how commitment plays a role in our lives, we can build stronger connections, chase our dreams, and boost our mental and emotional health. In this blog, we'll dive into how commitment affects different areas of wellbeing and share tips on how to strengthen this important trait. In this blog post I share three easy ways to make a daily commitment part of your routine.

Mind

Commitment begins in the mind with clarity. Take a moment now to reflect: What is one small thing you want to commit to this month? It might be a daily breath pause, gentle movement, or showing kindness to yourself. Write this down to make your commitment clear. Each day, remind yourself gently of this intention, seeing it as a promise to your well-being.

Exercise: Every morning I invite you to connect with this affirmation,

“Today I commit to [your intention], and I do my best to accomplish my goal"

Pause for a moment and take a deep breath, letting these words sink into your mind and body. Repeat this process several times until it feels integrated.

Body

Our bodies remember commitment through consistent actions. This month, honour your body with intentional movement that feels good. Whether it’s a short walk, stretching, TRE® exercises, conscious breathing, or simply mindful sitting, these moments build physical commitment to self-care.

Exercise: Select a moment each day to mindfully move your body. Remove your shoes and focus solely on the sensation of your feet on the ground. Feel the stretch in your muscles and the flow of your breath as you move your feet. Observe how your body reacts to this simple yet impactful act of dedication, and be aware of how your feet consistently guide you to the next step in shaping your reality.

Energy

Commitment influences our energy flow. When we commit, our energy aligns with purpose, fueling motivation and calm. Practice grounding your energy by bringing awareness to the present moment and rooting yourself in your body’s sensations.

Exercise: Grounding visualisation.

Bring your awareness to your feet. With your next breath, begin to imagine soft, gentle roots extending from the soles of your feet. See these roots reaching down through the floor beneath you, growing longer and stronger with every breath.

Visualize the roots moving through soil and stone, reaching deep into the earth. Each breath grounds you more firmly, just like a steady, grounded tree.

Feel the support of the earth below you—solid, calm, and nurturing. Imagine the nourishing energy of the earth rising up through your roots, filling your legs and entire body with strength and calm.

As you exhale, let any stress or worries flow out through your roots, carried away into the earth. Breathe in stability and vitality. Breathe out tension and heaviness.

Allow your body and mind to rest a moment in this grounded, rooted state, supported by the earth’s energy. Notice the steadiness and reassurance spreading through you.

When you’re ready, slowly bring your attention back to your body. Gently wiggle your fingers and toes, feeling renewed and firmly grounded.

Softly open your eyes, carrying this rooted calm into your day.
