Say this out loud: “I am a commitment to my well being”. Then say this out loud: “I am committed to my well being”. What do you observe as you feel below your neck, how you say that? Which one is harder, asking more of you?
Whatever our commitments, those of us trained by the Strozzi Institute know this phrasing, and how it invites us to become the embodiment of the commitment we want to live into.
Embodied commitments move us beyond the mental constructs of plans, vital as they are.
A commitment to being the commitment you make invites you to consider how you need to change your very structure. The commitments we make are often a call to courage.
Competence gets built from the inside, leading to deeper authenticity and alignment emanating from your core.
Furthermore, living and embodying a commitment provides a much needed anchor when the sea is rough, the stars are hidden and the night is dark.
I invite you to try it out this frame choosing something that matters to you just a little out of reach. Notice whether it produces a little fizz of energy, maybe it’s a little scary. If so, that’s OK, you are in the right place.
Are you yet the embodiment of your commitment?
