I just interviewed a parenting author who talked a lot about breaking trust with children.
Obviously, ideally, we'd all keep trust not only with children but with everyone we deal with.
Kids call us on things (if we've said we'll do something with them - ice cream, trampolining etc. - they'll hold us to it).
Adults may hide their disappointment better but it will change things. As for ourselves, how many times have you cancelled on yourself ("me time", a lie in / early night or day off)?
How would keeping your word - with yourself as well as the people you deal with - impact on your life?
Notice the things you find hardest to stick to. Maybe it's time to let them go (cross them off your list for good) or adapt them?
