Especially: Be impeccable with my word
I read something about this in The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz… but it has taken on a life of its own in my head. What I mean is never to be anything less than truthful and authentic. To speak with integrity, honoring the people I am speaking with and myself. But also to see my words as powerful and avoid affirming negative outcomes (like I did yesterday: I said, “my room just keeps getting messier and messier!” Eek!). It follows that I would never give voice to judgement or criticism of other people or myself. Or speak of myself as a victim of circumstances beyond my control.
Maybe I should learn more about Neuro-Linguistic Programming; isn’t this what that’s all about?
