Beyond resolutions - an agreement

The thing with resolutions is that we can rarely seem to hang on to them. So we suggest you choose 'themes' by which you can create more fulfilling lives. These positive choices give you the freedom of growth without boxing you in, and yet offer the opportunity to live every moment with the flavour of your theme. We share with you author Don Miguel Ruiz’s guidelines from his book the "Four Agreements", or you can be inspired and create your own. This wisdom can truly transform your life!

'Four Agreements' by Don Miguel Ruiz:
1. Be Impeccable with your word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't take anything personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.


3. Don’t make assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always do your best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
