Commitment is a binding pledge that obligates you to assume a position or carry out a course of action. Making a commitment to what you do—whether in your personal life or in your professional life — is one of the most fundamental principles of success. Commitments such as the quit smoking oath are powerful because they influence the way you think and your subsequent coping mechanisms. Unlike a half-hearted hope or ‘best shot’, signing up to a pledge or commitment means that you will try harder to materialise your commitment in the face of obstacles. In addition, it gives a sense of direction, a reminder to what is that you are doing and why, as well as taking away the option of looking back.
A key element to being committed is being reminded of what it is that you are committing to. That is why follow ups are essential to keep the motivation going as healthcare professionals are able to assess, evaluate and remind you of your quit smoking oath and how far you have come in your quitting journey. Words of encouragement from the people that support you are a form of reward that help to emotionally incentivise you to keep on adhering to your pledge and stay committed to your goal. While making a pledge may not seem like a solid and robust action in achieving things, when it comes to the psychologically vulnerable, it can be a powerful tool to enhance a person’s motivation and will to change. That is why it is incorporated in almost all quit smoking programs and other rehabilitation course to instills powerful psychological cues.
