I think this is great advice in the short term. In the longer term it’s worth evaluating whether a commitment you made only/mostly to yourself is still serving you, or whether the “you” that came up with the commitment was missing some bit of information that you have now. Like, if the commitment is serving your past self rather than your future self, give it up. You don’t owe your past self anything. Hank Green did a really good talk on this a few years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lPtopvsxmZY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lPtopvsxmZY
