More than anything, right, with when it comes to keeping our promises to ourselves. I just said it out loud to myself. I finally said it out loud and I was like, Yeah, no, like, yeah, Michelle, like you do you do want that. Now, moving forward, I think I know. Hey, what's up, you guys? Welcome or welcome back to Chats with Michelle, where we chat all things keeping your promises to yourself through navigating adulthood and pursuing purpose. And in today's chat, we are going to be navigating what it looks like to keep your promises to yourself when life is busy. In full transparency, that is exactly where I am in this season. Life is busy, there's a lot of moving pieces, a lot of new things. And I am also in the season of being consistent with keeping my promise to myself. And if you've been chatting with me for some time, then you would know that I am a very big component on splitting up your year into quarters. It makes it to where you don't necessarily prolong a thing forever and ever and ever. I say this a lot, but kicking a can down the road. So something that you can possibly do within three months or maybe even a month, if you tell yourself that you just have this one goal that you want to do this year, well, then it can be October and you never get it done. However, if you are to break up your year into quarters, then you have, I believe, anyways, you have a better chance of actually fulfilling those things, those goals, those desires. One of the things I'm working on here on Chats with Michelle is not just only saying or preaching the thing to you, but more rather sharing with you my process and where I am and what does it look like practically in my day-to-day life. I think more than anything, right, with when it comes to keeping our promises to ourselves, before the you know, the tips and the tricks and the the the three quarters and all the things, I think more than anything, being reminded or remembering that you're not always going to want to. And it comes to a point where you have to say to yourself, I'm choosing and I'm making the decision to do this thing. And sometimes, well, a lot of times, and and and I'm sure you've heard this before, you're not always gonna necessarily be motivated and feel like doing a thing, but it's not always about motivation, it's being reminded of what the end goal is, what the vision is, you know, the the the desire that the Lord put on your heart, the dream, right? Whatever that thing is, and it's just being reminded of those things. So sometimes or often it might be that you you don't you're not up to it, and you just have to make the time to do it. Transparently speaking, again, as well, that is me in the in this moment where I'm like, I am so tired. I'm tired from I I was working all day, and I'm like, I have to get this done now. Moving forward, I think I know that I have to create a better schedule, um, just a lot of moving pieces. However, I'm like, this needs to get done, and I can keep I can push it off to tomorrow. That's what I was telling myself. I was like, uh, Michelle, like, we'll just do it tomorrow. But I'm like, no, do it now, you know. So I want to encourage you as well. If there's something, if you're listening to me right now, watching me right now, and you're just like, there is something that I need to do, I would even encourage you to um pause. Well, right after you finish this, because I think it would be helpful. Well, if you feel like you need to pause this, pause this and get to what you need to do. However, I would also encourage because I think that there's going to be some valuable, invaluable things that I will be saying as well. And I would encourage you to listen to this and then do one thing that your future self will thank you for. And for me, this is it. This is the one thing that I know my future self will thank me for me to not continue to just um procrastinate and just push it down to the next day. So that's the very first point. And that's one thing that I teach and I and I try to live by myself as well is that what is one promise you can keep to yourself today? Like it forget like the overarching big goal, right? Of like, okay, well, I'm doing this big thing. Okay, yeah, fine, right? We have the quarterly goals, everything, etc. But what is one goal? What is no, what is one promise you can keep to yourself today? And I try to do that every single day. Like, what can you do for the that the future Michelle will thank you for? What is one promise you can keep today? Because ultimately, when it comes to you know these big goals and etc. that we have, you have to do one thing every single day in order to get there. And I just want to say this too. This is the last thing I'm gonna say. I was getting ready to wrap this up, and then I remembered, you know, on the journey of being vulnerable and all the things like that. Um, one of the things I wanted to say, because I I remember I was having this conversation not too long ago, is that you know, it's it's a weird thing when you're when you are um when you're you're pursuing a thing, whether you feel like you know the Lord told you to do it, or well, I I would hope that's the reason why you're pursuing a thing. And but sometimes things can really take off, and then sometimes they don't necessarily they don't, and it can have its like you know, its ways about it, etc. etc. And so you know there are people sometimes who support us, and there's some people who don't who who won't support you, and and it is what it is, and that's not what this is about, and what I want you to focus on. However, one thought that I had is that sometimes there are some people in our lives who don't know how to support us, right? And um, I was like I said, I was having this conversation with someone and they were like, no, no, like listen, if somebody's not supporting you, they're just being a hater. And on one hand, I think it can be people being a hater or they're just waiting for you to either fail or waiting to see if it takes off, and then they're gonna be like, Oh my gosh, I always knew you could do it. And then on the other hand, I think that people genuinely don't really just don't know how to how they can be the most impactful, like they want to support you and they do support you, but how they can be the most impactful. So, one thing that I am working on and being more vulnerable and just taking you through this process as well is how you can be more impactful. And I have really great people actually who are so incredibly um supportive, and I'm so thankful for all of you. So, one thing that this is transparent in me saying, I would like to monetize this this channel, and not even necessarily because I want it to be this huge big thing. I mean, I hope that it it becomes like I know it's been blessing, and I get different messages, whether it's like in comments or private messages and all the things like that. However, I would like to monetize the channel because I'm so close. So, one way that you can help, because I literally just have one threshold that I need to I need to make because I literally met every single thing else. One way you can help is by watching these long form videos, that'll be very helpful. I'm gonna link a playlist below so it'll be very helpful if you can watch those things. I am working on getting my watch time, my watch time hours up, and that is for the long the long form videos, not necessarily the vertical videos, like the ones that are like vertical, like this, like short form, not those videos, um, but the ones that are long form. You can watch those too, but the long form videos is where um I am really needing the uh support. So if you would be so kind and watch the videos and watch them all the way through, if you want to just have them playing, that would really help because I'm so so so so close to getting this channel monetized, and even if it's just a dollar a month, five, ten dollars, but I would like to get it monetized. And I think that I was sitting down recently and I and I I just said it out loud to myself. I finally said it out loud and I was like, yeah, no, like, yeah, Michelle, like you do, you do want that. And it's as this is like a little, not a little, this is a project that I feel like the Lord has given me, and I'm just being consistent and I show up and I allow it to happen however it's gonna happen. Um, and I think that I kind of like downplay the idea of me being like, like, no, it would be nice to get this this um channel monetized. So if you are listening on podcasts, because I do have a lot of people that listen on podcasts and who download, and thanks so much for downloading because so many of you guys uh download the different podcasts and it's like growing so much in downloads and stuff like that. So just thank you a lot. It's like in the hundreds, I forget what number, but it's it's a lot, it's a lot of downloads that I've been getting. So if you would be so kind, I'm gonna leave it in the description box below. I know you like if you you prefer to listen to me, but um, it would be very helpful. I'm so close to being monetized. So if you all would just watch the videos all the way through, um, I would say for the next like week, that'd be really great. So, with that being said, thanks so much for chatting with me.
