Today is November 10, 2015. I have been reading The Four Agreements and completely in awe of how it is landing on me at this time.

Law One – Be Impeccable With Your Word

This is not just the words that come out of your mouth to others, but more importantly the words you say to yourself. It is using your energy in the correct wy – the way you see it most effective. The way of truth and love for yourself. Funny the other day at practice before reading this I set the intention of self-love. Need to calm the storm in my head and in my life. Funny how there are times of peace and bliss when you look around and everything is going soooooo smoothly, and then times of “what else can possibly happen.” I just had this conversation with Carly last night how there are times we feel that everything is working against us. It’s not, it’s the way we perceive it. There is something to be learned from everything. You can either look at it and go into “story”, depression, beating yourself down even further – and really what good is that. OR, you choose to say ok what is the lesson here, be objective – see things for what they really are not what you make them to be – and find the nugget of the truth and how it leads you to your higher power.

We are the judge of our own character and who we are inside. We know that but allow ourselves to be infused by what others say to us, about us, what we see in social media, hear from our friends and others. This just poisons our minds and takes us away from our true center. Being impeccable with your word creates the space and the container to live a life of self-love first, that will then transcends to those around you. You need to have integrity with your word. Move from fear and jealousy, break the old agreements you had with yourself and transcend your level of existence to one of LOVE – Self-love first.

I am strong enough, smart enough, and brave enough to create anything I want. Being of service to my family is deepest in my core. Teaching is natural for me and I will take that gift that God gave me and use it in the way I am feeling called to do so. I will create the container to share and spread my passion for yoga and mindfulness to all I meet. The world needs it and I have it. Fear and self-doubt aside.

Be impeccable with your word.
