These agreements might seem obvious, but during difficult times, it provides simple clarity. One of my tools is “ The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz.
I am on a mission to internalize love and compassion, and stop elevating my own self doubt. There are so many things that can happen in life that can make someone feel unworthy. (Wait, did I just describe the plot from “Fight Club”?)įast forward, new city, new life, but I still find myself letting my mind drift to the negative space (I am not enough). “The antagonist” was making me feel how I thought I deserved to feel. It wasn’t she who made me feel inferior, I was doing it to myself. I was using her as an actor, an antagonist, a character for the negative dialogue I had streaming 24/7 in my head. And constantly wondering if I was falling short. In my mind, I was constantly competing with her to dress better, look better, succeed more.
Have you ever had a rival? In my 20’s I had one.
