Promise #50: Shrink your but instantly



I need a little time for myself, but…

I want to start exercising, but…

I deserve more, but…

I want to travel, but…

I’m going to change, but…

I can do better, but…

I need to get out of this relationship, but…

I want a better job, but…

I wish I had more time, but…

I need to walk away, but…

If you really want to make your but smaller, just get it out of your vocabulary. Big buts get in the way of everything you know you’re capable of achieving. In just one syllable they slam doors, squash dreams, twist minds and give voice to the dreaded, inner critic. So much so that you spend too much time feeding your but and not enough time feeding your soul.

  • I love this promise! Thank you so much for featuring my print here — I made it because I’m always plaguing myself; I had to do something! xo

    • Aimee-My thanks to you. Your artwork is so fun and motivating! I’m always getting in my own way, so I can completely relate to your print. :-))). Why do we do that to ourselves, anyway?????
