35. Four Simple Agreements

In this podcast, Arleen shares the great work from Dr. Don Miguel Ruiz’s book called The Four Agreements where he shares the four agreements based on ancient Toltec wisdom. Each of the agreements are a powerful code of conduct that can transform your life through experiencing freedom, true happiness and love. In the book, Don explains that 95% of our internal beliefs are simply not true. Unlearning beliefs and challenging your own thinking is essential to experiencing a strong-sense of joy, happiness and freedom.   Arleen shares readings from the book about the importance of learning how to master each agreement. We delve into: Agreement 1 - Be impeccable with your word Agreement 2 - Don’t take anything personally Agreement 3 - Don’t make assumptions Agreement 4 - Always do your best When you make a conscious choice and self-reflect on the ways you will embrace these four agreements and integrate them into your daily practices, you can experience healing. Arleen reminds us as healthcare workers, the work we do is meaningful and full of purpose. She challenges us to think about how we can use these four agreements in interacting with the patients we serve. You will realize, it is within your power to make change and to live the life you were destined to experience.
