Which promise is more important - the one to yourself or others?

Which one is more important? 🤷🏻‍♀️✨
.
The promises you keep to yourself or the promises you make to others?
.
How often have you said you'd do something (making a promise), being pretty motivated and intentional about it, but end up not doing it?
.
You'd do this for that person, go to bed early, you'd go to the gym/workout X times this week for real. You'd eat healthy and cut sugar/coffee, say no to zombie mode scrolling on social, meditate daily, plan out your day for focus, spend time on your creative project, etc etc etc..
.
Some of you might be saying that the promises you make to others are more important, because you don't want to let anyone down. So is it better to let yourself down? No, it isn't beautiful human.

What kind of excuses have you made for yourself? 'Hm, it's too late now...' Or 'Because of X I can't do it...' Or procrastinating ('there's always tomorrow') and feeling guilty? How often have you felt disappointed?
.
Ofcourse, there are times things might change and you end up not being able to do things you promised because hello humanity 💖

Make a promise to yourself to listen to that voice and feeling that comes up whenever you're about to break a promise. Because that's where you start to shift this.
