Writing down our commitments has been shown to have more longevity and greater results than just saying we will do something. \u00a0The idea behind “promise cards”<\/a> is quite simple. \u00a0Have a card that you write your commitment on and give it to someone you want to either keep you accountable, help you along, or that you want to know that you will keep your word. \u00a0When you have fulfilled your promise, you will get that card back to hold onto as a reminded of the accomplishment and the commitment you have kept.<\/p>\n

This is an ongoing project that you can jump start at anytime but it is great to use one of the traits of the week that relate to have this project begin.<\/p>\n

Here’s what to do:<\/em><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. You’ll need to get some “promise cards”<\/strong>
    \nI have put together     a simple and fun craft activity for the family <\/a>if you want to make some cards to get you started. \u00a0If you don’t have time or you could order some cards at becauseisaidiwould.com (the first 10 are free).<\/li>\n
  2. Introduce the cards to the family<\/strong>
    \nThe cards are a simple way or communicating a commitment or a promise that anyone is making to another person or even to themselves.<\/p>\n
