The First Two Agreements- Part 1 Of The Four Agreements

Welcome to a Pieces to Wellness book discussion! It's not quite a club (yet), but from time to time, we'll be talking on the podcast about articles, books, artwork that we've found inspirational or helpful on our own journey. One of the books Tim and Karen both take tremendous inspiration from is Don Miguel Ruiz's book: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom. In this book, Ruiz talks about the various self-limiting beliefs that steal our joy and increase our suffering. Based in ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements offers practical behaviors that once put into practice, can transform your life completely. We love that this book is rooted in practice, in taking actionable, consistent steps to live a life aligned with your values. With its basis in the Toltec tradition, it also brings some refreshing spiritual insights into our awareness.The first Agreement is: Be Impeccable With Your Word. We talk about what the word impeccable means to each of us, and how this one agreement can completely transform how you experience life. This impeccability includes the words you say out loud, and the words you say internally to/about yourself. What if all the words you thought, said, wrote, and drew were completely, radically, compassionately honest? How would that make your life different? We share some of the ways each of us have stumbled along the way with this Agreement.The second Agreement is : Don't Take Anything Personally. Yowza, this one packs a punch! We agree that for us, this is the hardest Agreement to live out consistently. Definitely worth considering when and where there are opportunities in your life to take things less personally.As always, we recommend starting small. It's not reasonable to expect yourself to align with these Agreements 100% of the time from the start. These are aspirational agreements, things to work toward with diligent self-compassion and time. Let us know what you think. Tell us how the first 2 agreements land for you! Tune in next week for part 2, where we discuss the last 2 agreements!We are very grateful to all our listeners.We'd love to hear your feedback or ideas for future episode topics.Reach out on IG @piecestowellness or shoot us an email at [email protected].
