Be Consistent With Your Promises

Your word is really, really important. So are your actions.

And if your words and actions ARE aligned, then love feels really safe.

But if they’re OUT of alignment… you say it but DON’T do it, then that’s really scary in love.

And the small things really count here.

Sure, it may not seem like a big deal if you’re running late and forget to call. Or, if you say you’re going to take care of something and decide to put it off ‘til later. But sadly those small things stack up.

Let me be clear... it’s not the end of the world if you communicate a change in plans. Life happens and it’s always ok to communicate a need to adjust an expectation.

But if you…

Make promises to each other, you gotta stick to them.

Plain and simple.

Take the time to be intentional in your communication so that you can stand behind the promises you make. And, if you need to change or go back on something you agreed to… Communicate It!!

Consistency between your words and actions is essential to building and maintaining trust in your relationship.

Work this week to up the consistency and your relationship will be better because of it.


Until next week,

-A
