If your boss put a critical meeting on your calendar, you wouldn't blow it off because you were tired. You'd show up.
But when we schedule a workout, meal prep, or grocery shopping for ourselves, we cancel without a second thought.
I almost did that today. I was exhausted, anxious, and too late to meet the running group. My brain told me to stay in bed. I went anyway. I got three miles in at my own pace, alone, and got it done.
Stop treating commitments to yourself as optional. Put them on the calendar, treat them like a high-priority meeting, and show up. You are the most important client you have.
