1. Be impeccable with your word
The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. This means speaking with integrity and avoiding using your words to harm others or yourself. To practice this agreement, try to be mindful of the words you use when talking to others and yourself. Speak honestly and kindly, and avoid gossip and negativity.
2. Don't take anything personally
The second agreement is to not take anything personally. This means not allowing others' opinions and actions to affect your self-worth or happiness. To practice this agreement, try to detach yourself from other people's opinions and actions. Remember that what others say and do is a reflection of their own beliefs and experiences, not yours.
3. Don't make assumptions
The third agreement is to not make assumptions. This means avoiding jumping to conclusions and assuming that we know what others are thinking or feeling. To practice this agreement, try to ask questions and clarify things when you're unsure. Don't assume that you know what others are thinking or feeling without checking with them first.
4. Always do your best The fourth agreement is to always do your best.
This means putting in your best effort in everything you do, whether it's work, relationships, or personal growth. To practice this agreement, try to give your best effort in everything you do, even if the outcome isn't what you hoped for. Focus on progress and improvement rather than perfection.
Incorporating these four agreements into your life can take time and effort, but the benefits are worth it. By practicing these agreements, you can improve your relationships, boost your self-confidence, and live a more fulfilling life. Start small, and gradually incorporate these practices into your daily routine. Over time, you'll notice positive changes in yourself and those around you."
