How can we learn not to take things personally? Whether good or bad, there's an agreement to be learned around how we exchange with others when it comes to our words and what we take on when someone has something to say about us. Today Kara is diving into a small yet powerful book – The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz – which truly offers life-changing freedom when you apply the author's insights. If you missed last week's episode, please do yourself a favor and go back and listen to 'Being Impeccable With Your Word' (The First Agreement) which speaks to the power of being more intentional with our word.Learning not to take things personally: easier said than done! Often we get caught in an emotional tug-of-war when someone says something to us that we don't like. So how do we begin to not let that affect us negatively?It starts with an appreciation that someone else's opinion of you is colored by their world perspective. And so if someone does say something that hurts you, then there is a part of you that believes that to be true. And if you take something someone else says personally, you're making it about yourself. Open yourself to a whole new level of self-love with the perfect antidote to any year-end angst you might be feeling with an episode of Soul Inspiring Business that gently soothes as it enlightens. Live in a state of more bliss – without the approval of someone else! Please join us.

How can we be more intentional with our words? The word ‘impeccable' actually means ‘without sin' and this is in fact The First Agreement in the book: be impeccable with your word. For the next four episodes, Kara will be unpacking the book, The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. Our words carry great power: they have the power to heal, transform, and create. Understanding how we can be impeccable with our word is a journey.Is a voice of negativity dictating the direction of your life? What does your internal dialogue look like? Learning to name the negative voice in your head is the start you can make to identify your negative thoughts and nip them in the bud.Additionally, Kara also unpacks the impact that our words have on others whether they are present or not. How can we become more intentional in every conversation with our word choice? If you knew that you could heal people with your words, how does that allow you to show up differently in every conversation? Please enjoy a breath of fresh air and positivity as we wind down 2024 with a philosophical and spiritual message that will resonate with all. We all have the power to heal with our words. “How can we make a conscious choice to say: ‘I am being impeccable with my word'? Not only with other people but also with the words that I speak to myself.” ~ Kara Chaffin DonofrioIn This Episode:How do we speak to ourselves?Understanding our own self-doubt (and how we can transcend that)Naming the negative personHow can we show up differently (by preparing differently) with our loved ones?Making the agreement impeccable with our wordResources:The Four Agreements (book) - The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)Jordan Peterson - Jordan PetersonBrad Lea - Brad LeaConnect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/ Email - kara@kdcrealestate.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin
