In episode 15, Dr. discusses the well-acclaimed book "The Four Agreements: A Personal Guide to Personal Freedom

The The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom is a self-help book written by bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz with Janet Mills.

The book offers a code of conduct claiming to be based on ancient Toltec wisdom that advocates freedom from self-limiting beliefs that may cause suffering and limitation in a person's life. Many self-limiting beliefs are created in our childhood. Devastatingly, they become part of our identity. This is a profound book full of ancient wisdom about how to live a life of peace and come into an awareness of our conditioned belief systems…our conditioned self-limiting beliefs that we did not come up with authentically ourselves.

The good news is we can embrace a new narrative.

We can challenge our beliefs and re-program our thoughts.

“By knowing what you are not, you come to know thyself.” 

Agree to these four contracts with yourself. They will help you guide yourself to a more-fulfilled life. which are simply: 

Agreement 1: Be Impeccable With Your Word

Agreement 2: Don’t Take Anything Personally

Agreement 3: Don’t Make Assumptions

Agreement 4: Always Do Your Best
