Practice the Four Agreements on a Daily Basis: Be impeccable with my word/ Don't take anything personally/ Don't make assumptions/ Always do my best!

I am removing this goal and marking it complete because I have been practicing this consistently for a while now. If and when I need to refresh, I will add this back to my list.

I have not grown up in a cave or under a rock, but I didn’t realize how munipulative grown-assed people could be, or try to be. I would think that people would grow up and not play the same games that they did in high school and college. But nooooo…

But you know, people have vested interests in maintaining the status quo and getting what they need no matter how it affects others. They feign being team players, when they really want, or insist, that it should be their way.

I think I have finally realized that peoples’ actions, even if they are directed toward me, have absolutely nothing to do with me and everything to do with them, their past and their issues. Going forward, I am no longer going to take offense at perceived slights (particularly at the day job), ‘cuz thry have nothing to do with me. I know I am fabulous!

Keeping this in the back of my mind really kept me going yesterday…oh what a trying day it was.

I have to really keep this in mind today. I have some things to “deal” with at the day job and have to make sure that I keep my cool.

Too much coming at me at the day job. Boss was seriously working the nerves. Almost pulled out the shiv and shanked her. It all worked out in the end. Whew!

I worked really hard at this today. I have a lot on my plate at the day job and I was able to clear a bit of it. I did what I said I was going to do and then some; shrugged off a comment that I would normally take personally; made sure that my goals and directives from the higher ups were clear; and put in some serious effort.

I have always been in admiration of a certain staffer who seems to get a lot done all the time. She seems so smart and makes really good contributions to the “team.” I am trying to pattern my time at the day job after her and I a thinking that as long as keep trying to abide by the Agreements, I will be alright.

...this is nearly impossible. But I try.

This gets better as you develop and strive to be on purpose with something in your life. It’s still gonna stay up for some time longer.

Each day I have to truly focus on this. I have found that when I stray from this, I immediately feel the effects. The “taking things personally” is what gets me most of the time, but I am working on it.

I am really getting better at this and think that it shows in the good things that are happening in my life. I am still not perfect and will continue to keep on trying with this.

It’s difficult to not take anything perfectly because, well, I am human. Being impeccable with my word has helped me say no a lot more often. There have been too many times where I have answered yes to some request or another and then realized that I could not get the task done.

I am being a lot more true to myself, and that’s a good thing.
