What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?
This question is inherently flawed. It’s already taking a dig, assuming that promises made to one’s self are not kept. Why do we need the word actually in this query? Isn’t it sufficient to ask the question without implying promises are not kept?
I’ll change it. “What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve kept?”
There. All better now.
A promise I have made to myself that I have kept? It’s between me and myself, WordPress. And that’s a promise I intend to keep.


Amy, you make an excellent point here!
I don’t know if the prompt is suggesting that we break all promises we make to ourselves. I think it’s pretty safe to say that as humans a lot of us “table“ or delay many promises we make to ourselves.
But yeah, I get it…

I think it is suggesting that, though. Just my opinion. Otherwise, take the word actually out of the question, right? Humans are flawed, for sure. I would put myself in the front of the line. But I don’t make promises to myself that I don’t keep. If I don’t think I can do it, I’m not promising myself that I can. That sets me up for disappointment, and disappointment I create for myself hits harder than disappointment coming from any other source.

I promised not to make any more promises to myself.

🤣 that’s probably the best way to answer this prompt and to not disappoint yourself!
