The Four Agreements: as it relates to your Health and Wellness…

Don Ruiz the author of “The Four Agreements”

Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements offer a code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love. 

I will be discussing these agreements as it relates to health and wellness..

  1. Be impeccable with your word, speak with integrity: Say what you mean and mean what it and be true to yourself. To be impeccable with others it starts with you being true to yourself. Do not make promises to yourself that you do not plan on keeping (especially as it relates to your health).
  2. Don’t take anything personally: Nothing others do is because of you. You have to become immune to the opinions of others. Even when others tell you negative information, about yourself, remember it is not about you.
  3. Don’t make assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really what to know. This step is essential when talking to your physician. Ensure you ask questions so you understand what is being said.
  4. Always do your best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment and will be different when you are sick versus healthy. Your body is your temple and letting go of judgement helps you make good decisions regarding your health and wellness so take action.
