Ep 22: Navigating the Holidays with The Four Agreements
Dec 27, 2022Today we are going to be using the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz to navigate our way through this holiday season!
As Ram Dass famously said, “if you think you are enlightened, go spend a week with your family.” Boy was he right! Our families can bring out the best and the worst in us. And for some of us, holidays mean spending more time with our families then we typically do. The first thing we have to remember is we can’t change or control anyone else no matter how much we want to and how hard we try. We can only control ourselves and how we show up.
So that’s where The Four Agreements come in!
These 4 life changing agreements are:
- Be impeccable with your word
- Don't take anything personally
- Don't make assumptions
- Always do your best
In this episode we will learn about each of the Four Agreements and tips to help you utilize them through the holiday season. I’ll share how I just navigated a stressful situation this past Thanksgiving with my mother in-law using The Four Agreements, and which agreement I’m struggling with currently.
