Glad you're thinking about promises, Garagon. Some time ago, I came up with a promise to myself. I haven't always kept it, but am doing a pretty good job these days:
I will never look at porn again.
I will not eat junk food in an attempt to feel good.
I will take care of myself with good food, exercise, meditation, and a good night's sleep.
I will reject the things that are negative, trivial, grotesque, and a waste of my time.
Instead, I will concentrate on what is positive, productive, creative, and a good use of my time.
I will remember that the past doesn't exist any more. Any unpleasant memories or people who have hurt and disappointed me simply do not exist any more.
I will explore my emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them.
The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Every day I stay true to this promise is a step in the right direction.
