Need for Commitment

Relationships are often the first things that come to mind when we notice our need for commitment isn't being met. Interestingly, however, we often fail to keep commitments to ourselves too. In this way making small attainable plans/commitments to ourselves can be a healthy way to tend to this need without references to others. During a meltdown I once committed to myself that I would flip my hand over on the count of three. In it's own tiny way I was able to prove to myself that I do have some control over myself and that I can predict the future even if it's just in this tiny way.
