Building Personal Integrity through Small Commitments

One of the first steps to being more focused is to build personal integrity by making small commitments to yourself and following through with them. For example, setting out your outfit for the next day before going to bed and wearing it as planned. This helps develop trust and confidence in yourself. By starting small and gradually increasing commitments, you can begin to make bigger promises and prioritize what matters to you.
