How to learn to keep your word, what rules do you need to remember so as not to let people down and keep your promises? Experienced psychologists suggest studying a number of very easy and feasible rules, thanks to which you will never be known as a deceiver or a chatterbox.
We will not surprise our readers if we say that almost each of us has given the floor at least once in our lives. But due to certain circumstances I could not restrain him. Or, we became the victim of someone who promised to “three boxes”, but did not fulfill the promise, in popular parlance, “threw us completely.” In both the first and second cases we feel discomfort. Only if we were deceived do we feel offended. Having deceived others, a normal person feels remorse. After such a turn of events, he is ashamed to look into the eyes of the one to whom he made a promise.
The reason can be anything - laziness, the accumulation of various kinds of circumstances, an unreliable environment on which you rely when making a promise. Thus, the quality of life is disrupted, because in fact it is difficult to live with the fact that you have greatly let someone down, caused distrust, disappointment in yourself.
Is it worth doing this? Someone will object that not everything always depends on us. It happens that circumstances develop in such a way that you cannot do anything about it. To some extent, there is some truth in this. But even in this case, only those who have not thought through the possible risks in advance can fail to keep their promise even due to current circumstances. Let's talk about how to make sure you don't let people down and keep your word.
What does keeping promises give?
The basis of reputation and respect for a person is his personal qualities. If he knows how to keep his word, fulfill his promise, not let him down and always be there when help is needed, then he is treated with special reverence. For every person, a promise, a given word, is a powerful motivator, forcing one to act and not look for reasons to avoid obligations.
The sages say that angels hear thoughts, but demons hear words. Therefore, there is no point in chatting in vain. It is necessary that in our subconscious the desire to fulfill this word at any cost is clearly formed. As soon as we encounter some obstacle during implementation, we immediately understand that this is an excellent reason for refusing to implement it. We must understand that we often confuse concepts such as promise and interest. In the first case, no matter how the circumstances develop, we must go to the end. And interest lasts until circumstances arise that interfere with us.
Before “reaching into your pocket,” think about whether you should ask to be an assistant or make promises if fulfilling them will bring you problems and costs. Of course, if we are talking about people close and dear to our hearts, then we can spend money. But if the question concerns outsiders, then you should think carefully. You can lose comfort, risk your life and finances, and the winner will be a complete stranger.
Option 2
People quite often promise each other, give each other their “word of honor” that they will come, return or fulfill. Even more often, all this is not done. It happened in childhood, in a conversation with elders, they promise to fulfill your request or offer something themselves, you run joyfully in the hope of fulfilling your desire. You run to the meeting place and wait, but the adult either didn’t come at all or said he was very busy or didn’t promise anything. You stand there in bewilderment. They taught so much both at home and at school that you have to keep your word, but here. There is no end to indignation, and your parents explain to you that your adult uncle or aunt has no time for your childhood dreams. What about the “word”! Which everyone demands to keep?
This is where the thought comes: “If a respected person does this, then you can too”? What respect can there be for such a person who promises and does not fulfill? We can break our word to ourselves, no one will know about it, and only our conscience will be uneasy, but here many will know and discuss.
The ability to keep your word is necessary not out of fear of someone, but out of respect, first of all, for yourself. A person who knows how to fulfill his promises not later, but precisely when he promised, can be considered worthy and responsible. He doesn’t just promise, but thinks through his actions, plans his activities from day to day - this is colossal work.
It is impossible to take seriously a person who endlessly promises and does not deliver. Moreover, if he teaches others to do everything exactly. Such parents will not be able to teach their children to be punctual. Following the example of their parents, they will also promise and, citing heavy workload, not to fulfill or not consider it necessary, keep their word to those who are younger. For what? It’s small, it’s no big deal, what they promised will work out. Many people promise to leave them alone; this is also bad. After all, they have already reassured the person.
Before you promise anything, you need to calculate your capabilities. If there is no time, energy, money or desire, it is better to refuse immediately.
It is not always possible to fulfill our promises; unfortunately, we have no control over the circumstances, but we must strive for this. The one who fulfills his promise is always respected and is considered a man of his word.
How does the word power system work?
There is a method in which the power of these promises allows you to work and act in any situation, despite laziness, circumstances, and body resistance. Thus, many have learned not to put things off and implement their goals without any problems. This does not mean that the laziness and resistance of our body will completely evaporate. They will be in “the right place”, the main thing is to be able to overpower them and achieve promises.
If you do this several times, the process will become a habit. We explain using a simple example, familiar to each of us. Let's remember how often we thought that “from tomorrow I will start running in the park.” It would seem that there is energy, desire. But the closer the moment of going to the park is, the more reasons we have to postpone the sporting moment. And when it’s time to run, the following flashes through our heads:
- I'm so tired today;
- they say it’s better not to run in the evenings;
- I had something stabbing in my side today;
- the child asked to spend time with him, etc.
In short, we again postpone the promise we made to ourselves.
But if we add during our renunciations that we promise ourselves that at 5 pm we will run around the park for at least 1 hour, then we are in a hurry to fulfill our promise. It becomes, in a way, a matter of honor. We were taught this way from childhood, a lot of stories have been written about this by famous Russian authors, in which, when giving a word, a person was responsible for it with his honor. Nothing can break a promise, except bad weather or serious circumstances.
Well, in this case, we promise ourselves that we will go for a run the next day, but we will definitely do it. That is, a definite and strong promise is a special moment that does not allow a person to find “excuses”, reasons not to keep his words. And if you apply certain rules, then you can turn all this into a useful habit.
Why develop this skill?
What does it really mean to “keep your word”? If you say you will do something, that action must be carried out, and small obstacles cannot be an excuse. Thus, you are responsible for your statements, showing a desire to match promises with actions. I gave my word - keep it! This is what all moral standards say.
What can this useful skill give you? Once you start practicing it, you will be able to notice that your life is noticeably changing for the better. If you previously ranted and constantly talked about the need to take certain actions, but nothing followed, now such problems will be a thing of the past.
“Keep your word,” you say to yourself, and if before you spent a lot of energy on ranting, now it will be used in a good way and will improve your life.
It often happens that people talk a lot, but do little. Having trained yourself to keep your word, you will no longer just talk about how you would like to earn more and look better. All these global plans will begin to come true thanks to your consistent steps
Pay attention to yourself and your friends. Surely you often have similar conversations when getting together in the evenings, but after you leave, nothing changes
To stop dreaming and start acting, follow one simple rule: if you say your word, keep it.
We get used to keeping our word
Our vocabulary contains words that simply make us “sick”. “Should” is especially irritating. That is, already at the subconscious level we understand that this is an obligation. And commitments make few people happy and delighted. Therefore, realizing that we need to wash the dishes, tidy up the closet, go to the pool, let’s replace this word with “I promise.” And as we know, a promise already stimulates people to fulfill their word, that is, to preserve their honor. Now let’s move on to specific actions that help a person strengthen his plans and fulfill everything that he openly, publicly declared and said to himself.
So, if you continue to read this article, it means you have a problem - you often promise something, but don’t always deliver, thereby letting down your loved ones, friends, colleagues, and superiors at work. First you need to understand what you promise. Believe me, this is an important point.

We understand our promise
Before you promise anything, think about whether you are able to fulfill it. Here we are talking not only about matters that you simply cannot handle due to financial, material, and physical insolvency. Or maybe, having promised to wash your father’s car on Saturday, you will not keep your word due to the fact that you cannot arrive from the other end of the city at the right time. Or, you don’t have the physical ability to help him drag the furniture to the dacha.
Therefore, think a hundred times before giving a person hope for your participation. Otherwise, you will simply let him down and thwart his plans.
Secondly, how carefully did you listen to the person’s request? Maybe while he was talking, you were catching flies and missed an important point. Before you promise to appear at such and such a time, on such and such a day, or make other promises, ask again what your help should consist of? Maybe they are asking you to do the impossible. For example, complete an annual report in a few hours or take a person out of town in his car, but you simply don’t have a license. So be careful.
We often promise to help someone, but at the same time, due to our absent-mindedness, we forget that we are already busy that day or have other plans. Therefore, before you say “Okay, I’ll be happy to come and help!” think about whether there are any other things to do that day. Or maybe you have already given your word to someone and they are already relying on you in a serious matter.
Look, you will be imprudent, you will let people down, you will have to work overtime to fulfill your obligations. In any case, you will create problems for yourself first. If you can’t help, the person will stop believing and trusting you, and your reputation will be damaged. Put aside your business and do what you promised - you will have to make up for it or you will lose time and money.
Are you able to deliver what you promised? Think about whether you have enough knowledge and skills to help a person keep his word? How possible is it to do this or that work, service, do you have all the means for this in your hands? All this also needs to be carefully analyzed and understood - whether you will let the person down.
Important: if you often let people down because you are forgetful, write a to-do list. You can use a mobile device with an alarm clock and reminder. It doesn’t hurt, of course, to take care of your memory. To do this, you need to memorize poetry, play chess, and eat foods containing iodine.
When making a promise to a person, show that you are writing everything down in your journal. This way he will know that you will have no chance to make excuses, forget about what you promised, and you will keep your word.
Option 2
The proverb characterizes the quality of a person. To be a responsible person, you must keep all your promises and try to fulfill them on time. Then this type of person will be trusted. A person who keeps promises, an honest and responsible person.
Fulfillment and observance of spoken words is an opportunity to enjoy authority among peers, the basis of friendly relationships. Keeping a promise leads to respect for the individual. The positive result of words guarantees an increase in authority in the eyes of comrades. Many people do not want to communicate with people who lie and are not practical in business. You must treat your friend with respect. During a conversation, if you promised to come, then you must definitely do it. Otherwise, offended people will stop asking for anything, much less trusting the words spoken.
A leader (manager) can lead people only by using trusting, beneficial and appropriate actions towards the team. Even minor promises and specified actions are important here. Growing children should also learn, starting from simple actions, to maintain a daily routine. Promising to her parents, she learns to do everything to justify the trust of her father and mother. Small actions lead to the formation of a mature, purposeful personality. Such students study well and excel, delight loved ones and grow into respected individuals.
There is another proverb: “The word is not a sparrow; if it flies out, you won’t catch it!” Partially complements the above information. In it you can understand that you need to watch your speech and not offend people. If necessary, be responsible for your words and actions, and achieve goals using the right methods. Take thoughtful, balanced actions and get high-quality results. Various events can happen in life. Loss of loved ones, loss of health, various troubles, but we must be accountable for our promises and “not throw words to the wind.” Today you deceived a person and did not fulfill your promises. Other people may have suffered from this as well. And tomorrow you will be deceived, and you worry and think: “How bad!” You can’t change all people, start with yourself and prove that it’s better to be good. And you will have friends just like you. They will not give up in difficult times and will not let you down! We must wish everyone well and share our kindness, help with good advice, and show them the right thing to do.
How to deliver what you promise
First of all, having given your word, draw up a diagram, a plan for translating your given word into reality. First of all, you need time dedicated to the task. Give up travel and other worries, because you gave your word, and it must be kept. Make step-by-step instructions, an execution plan, and prepare all the necessary resources for this.
Example: when completing an annual report, you will need at least 2-3 hours a day, because everything needs to be studied in detail, prepare numbers, read quarterly reports, etc. That is, it is necessary to take a serious matter with full responsibility so that there are no mistakes.
Don’t forget to set aside a couple of hours to double-check the work, give it to the customer for review, and only then can you submit the final version. This will make the person happy that you know how to keep your promises and take the quality of the task seriously.
Many of us are familiar with the expression “procrastination,” in which we are ready to think of anything to avoid getting started. It is important to make a choice towards fulfilling obligations. It will only take 2-3 weeks before the desire to procrastinate and put things off will become a thing of the past. Decisiveness, courage and the desire to resolve your commitment will become a habit, and you no longer need to force yourself to take action.
Laziness - yes, it drives our evolution. Because of laziness, people created remote controls, washing machines, microwave ovens, etc. But in our case it is ballast pulling down. And the “21 day” rule will also work great here. That is, for 2-3 weeks, overcome your laziness and take action. How to overcome it? First of all, drive away thoughts and discussions with yourself, where you are either a supporter or an opponent of laziness. This is already a step towards the fact that very soon you will raise your “paws” in front of her incredible power of persuasion. No hesitation - we got up and did it.

How not to let someone down
Anything can happen in life, and even if you really want to fulfill your obligations, something can get in the way. Not everything depends on us - this is true. Therefore, as soon as any obstacles or circumstances arise, contact the one to whom you gave the word.
But remember - the reason for the delay or non-fulfillment must be strictly valid, a kind of “force majeure”.
This way, you will agree with the other party on deadlines, receive help, participation and confidence that you are doing everything to deliver the work. Otherwise, you risk setting the person up. Perhaps the service you promised is very important and failure to deliver could have serious consequences.
If you want to keep your word, look for any reason to do so. For example, you were asked to make an annual report for an absent, sick employee. Of course, you don’t want to do someone else’s work, but if you made a promise, please keep it. Think about how much your reputation will grow with your superiors. This will be an excellent incentive for career growth. It’s also a good idea to gain new knowledge.
A promise to lose weight and stop eating after 6 pm. This can also be stimulated by the following reason - go to the mirror and think how pleasant it will be for you to look at your reflection in 2-3 weeks, when the result of the promise you made will be “obvious”.

Both you and your loved ones win. Colleagues and friends will show you more respect
We all live in society, it is important who is around us and what kind of relationships we have with other people. You will be trusted with more responsible and prestigious work, which will open up more opportunities for you
If you want to choose the life that you like, you need to fight for it, and therefore, clearly move according to the plan, because no one will do this for you. Achieving what you want is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to move from promises to action, and then the result will not be long in coming. You need to start moving forward in small steps, giving yourself consistent tasks. The main condition is their mandatory and regular implementation.
Make long term promises
This is about what you promise yourself. There is no need to be too primitive and give only one, small word. For example, you decide to stop eating white bread. Great, but it would be nice to back up the promise by avoiding harmful and dangerous foods and playing sports. Well, at least start visiting a fitness room, swimming pool, yoga studio. If you can’t find time for this, study at home.
Or, you decide to give up alcohol, but plan to do it only this week. Are you really so weak in the gut that you are unable to give up alcohol for at least a year? Most likely you are a strong and strong-willed person. Why do you need it - it only ruins your health, destroys your liver, blood vessels, and kidneys.
Always be honest and open with those to whom you have given the floor. And if you can’t invest in the time frame, tell us in advance. Perhaps he will still have time to find someone who will actually cope with the task. This will show that you respect his time and don’t want to let him down. Honesty will preserve relationships and respect, even if you fail to keep your word.
Life story:
“Nikolai K. is a young guy, 26 years old. He has a wonderful family - his wife Marina, daughter Nastya - 1.9 months. A new addition is expected very soon; a boy is due in about a month. About 5 months ago, realizing that the earnings from construction were not enough for a large family, Kolya decided to go on a flight. There was every reason for this - he graduated from the seafaring profession, knew English, and was known as an excellent welder.
But in order to work as a welder on deck, you need to complete additional courses. As usually happens, there was a guy ready to help Nikolai with everything. Of course, he didn't do it for free. Kolya found out whether this person was really capable of honestly fulfilling this promise and preparing documents for departure on the flight. One of his acquaintances told him that this Kirill had already sent many guys, so he could believe it.
So, 5 months have already passed, the money has been given, and this “chatterbox” calls every day and promises. And only 2 weeks ago Kolya called through friends to the company where the documents are being prepared and found out that he was not even on the list. It turns out that this Kirill was simply lying. He spent money, set up a man, deprived him of peace, and all he did was lie. Now Nikolai understands that he got involved with a scammer.
Maybe he is preparing the documents, but judging by the conversations, he is waiting for at least a year, when he can hand them over 3 weeks after receiving the money. This scoundrel told Kolya that they were ready, they just needed to be picked up, and to do this they needed to contact someone else. The fact that he saw Nikolai next to his pregnant wife did not even stop him.
In short, he never tired of deceiving. Now Kolya has to get his money back. Whether it will work out or not is unknown. There is a fact of fraud - a person takes money, promises, promises, and as a result, cheats. Nikolai is now sure that he will go to the company with which the deceiver and swindler works and will tell everything that he thinks about him. By the way, he will not be the only one who will testify against the swindler. Several other guys have been waiting for documents from the scoundrel for almost a year, and now they are also demanding money.
Here is the story of a man who gradually got used to not keeping his word. Most likely, initially he really behaved honestly. But by procrastinating on work, spending other people’s money and constantly looking for excuses, he got used to the position of a scammer. Now his reputation is in the balance. There will be a trial, a recognition of those whom he deceived. And that’s it, he won’t be able to build a business preparing documents in this city.
Ask for help. There will be nothing wrong with turning to loved ones, friends, and relatives for help, so as not to let down the person to whom you gave your word. The moment will come when those around you will need your help to keep their promise. Everything can be done together, this indicates your responsible attitude to the matter.
How to learn to keep your word and use this skill to your advantage
In order to keep your word, you need to give it to someone. This means that you are declaring your promises out loud. Otherwise, your inner work will be planning and goal setting followed by time management. The promise has a number of advantages. When you publicly give your word and then keep it, others create an opinion of you as a responsible person who values promises. This approach to the matter is much more serious than an unadvertised desire, which is often not carried through to completion. Since it is not always possible to keep your word to yourself, it is better to involve other people who will indirectly control the fulfillment of the promise. Don't judge those who don't keep their word. It is much more effective to start working on yourself. Make a list of things you wanted to do in recent years but never got around to. Choose one of the items and promise someone out loud that you will do it this very week. In today's society, everyone wants to speak, but no one wants to listen. That's why it's rare to be heard. Many people are not aware of what they themselves are saying. What can we say about the fact that some people do not keep their promises?
That's why it's important to control what you say. It will be very productive to start writing down promises, because in the hustle and bustle of everyday life we simply forget many of them. You can jot them down in a notepad and review the list daily. Also a very interesting and easy way to make and keep promises is to complete small simple tasks in a short period of time from one day to a week
For example, if you promise yourself to learn a foreign language, then the likelihood that you will abandon this venture is higher than if you decide to set aside a couple of hours this week to read an English book. As a result, you accumulate a huge number of fulfilled promises. In the business world, this approach is also appropriate. Improving the quality of service sounds too large-scale and vague. At the same time, promising customers that requests will be processed within two hours will create a great image for the company. Be sure to keep your promises. If you don't keep your word, it depresses and upsets you. It is worth making every effort to keep your word. Make any promises you make your top priority. It must be remembered that a kept word is another point in favor of self-esteem. In addition, such a positive experience stimulates the setting and implementation of new tasks. “You give your word, keep it” is an excellent life principle.
Have you ever thought that a promise to a business partner, given in the form of a contract, is very important to you? And at the same time, you do not keep your word to yourself. There is not much difference between these two concepts. Let every promise have the value of a business contract for you. If it’s difficult for you to practice this approach, it wouldn’t hurt to come up with a penalty for a day’s delay. Give your word only when you have the intention to fulfill it. Learn to say “no” if you are not sure that you can do something. If at the moment you don’t want to do something, then most likely the desire will not come when it comes to fruition. In such a situation, it makes sense to refuse immediately. It’s up to you to choose whether to learn to keep your word or take promises lightly. You are not required to follow the above principles. However, when you make your word count, you will be able to create your life as you see it in your best dreams. A promise starts the mechanism of those processes that have been postponed for a long time.
You need to keep your word, since this principle is the basis for building trusting relationships. When a person makes a promise, he does not always know how to implement this or that business. Often we do not have the necessary resources that clearly connect us to the end result. And the only foundation for building relationships in any area is this word. If you make the promise important enough, you can always bring the assigned tasks to their logical conclusion. At such moments, a person creates for himself the image of a reliable and responsible person. Understanding that you need to keep your word is the first step towards serious life transformations. By practicing this principle, you will soon notice how much more conscious and effective many of your actions have become.
In this article, we looked at how to keep your word and how to make this principle a serious tool for personal development. By following the tips presented, you can easily become a person who will be characterized as responsible and reliable.

What to do if it doesn’t work out
Well, it happens. The main thing is not to be angry either at yourself or at the person who asked for the favor. Never forget to keep a human face, and if you let a person down, apologize to him sincerely. Tell us why you failed to keep your promise. Even if he gets angry, attacks with reproaches and censure, you are guilty, so listen in silence and agree. This is a lesson you need to learn for life.
Ask him if there is time and a chance to correct the situation. If the answer is yes, then drop everything and keep your promise. It will be difficult to justify yourself further - they will no longer believe you and will consider you a scoundrel.
Having let a person down, we ask him for forgiveness. But what about the words you gave yourself? After all, if you didn’t restrain them, be kind. Any promise is a kind of contract. And if you made it with yourself, there is a punishment. And which one - decide for yourself. For example, you couldn’t resist and ate a slice of white bread, although you promised not to look in its direction. You will have to run 2 kilometers more on an exercise bike.
Positive changes
Your self-esteem will steadily increase as a result of this good habit. The benefit is obvious. The main pillars of moral well-being are trust in oneself and others, as well as respect. By keeping your own promises, you will gain respect for yourself and celebrate your own successes.
If you don’t fulfill your plans, you may begin to feel like a failure or look for those around you to blame. Such thinking destabilizes the personality. So, by being honest with yourself and those around you, you are not only doing everyone around you a favor, but you are also greatly improving your morale. To avoid being burdened by unfulfilled tasks, it is better to deal with them as soon as possible. As they say, once you’ve done your job, go for a walk!
What to do next
If the question concerns what to do after fulfilling what was promised to another person, just enjoy the degree of responsibility for the obligations taken. This means you are capable of a lot. The main thing is that you have something that helps you maintain respectful relationships with your environment.
And if you managed to keep your word to yourself, then be sure to add this moment to the treasury of your achievements. Yes, each of us deserves encouragement and praise for our work, and fulfilling what is promised is difficult and strong-willed work. Keep a diary, write down your commitment on a piece of paper, and put a tick next to it. And so, step by step, you will achieve more and more. Your success sheet will turn into a platform for the flight of many birds - heralds of your achievements.
