When someone called me names, my mum would say to me: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Not true.

✨ New on the blog:
Book Club Magic, Self-Talk Spells & The Power of Being Witnessed 💫

We read & we talked. And something shifted.

In our very first Worthy & Rising book club, we explored The Four Agreements - and what unfolded was so much deeper than I expected.

We talked about how children are fluid, how adults become rigid, how we internalise shame and perfectionism… and how powerful it is to hear someone else say, “me too.”

We reflected on how our words are spells, and how often we cast dark ones without even realising it. Especially toward ourselves.

💭 “You abuse yourself the most in your life. And the level of abuse you're giving yourself is the level of abuse you'll be willing to accept from others.”

That one hit deep.

But you know what...? Talking about it changed everything.
When we’re witnessed in our healing, we don’t just understand - we embody.

📚 I wrote a blog post (and recorded a podcast episode!) about our gathering, what we explored, and how these kinds of soul-expanding conversations can help us grow in the most grounded, magical ways.

And if you want to join our next book circle, come inside the community! You don’t have to heal alone. You don’t have to read alone.

And you definitely don’t have to dim your magic.

Our system is broken.

Our system was broken before Trump. He and his cronies are just stepping on the shattered pieces, crunching them into dust. For all their flaws, Democrats at least try to make things better. The Republican's latest epithet, DEI, is an example. Ask any Republican voter what those letters stand for, and they likely won't be able to tell you.

I always try to remember these things everyday #thefouragreements #selfhelp

The image is divided into four colored quadrants, each depicting a different principle for personal growth. The top left quadrant, in orange, reads 'Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.' The top right quadrant, in purple, reads 'Don't Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.' The bottom left quadrant, in red, reads 'Don't Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.' The bottom right quadrant, in green, reads 'Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret

#thefouragreements #DailyReminder

Whatever people do, feel, think, or say, don’t take it personally. Others are going to have their own opinion according to their belief system, so whatever they think about you is not about *you,* but it is about *them.*

I’m learning to accept others judgments as something THEY own.
This can sting, especially when you care deeply about the person.
Deep breath.
Life goes on and blooms.

You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. You were born with the right to be happy, to love, and to share your love. Just to be-to take a risk and enjoy your life-is all that matters.

I am an aspiring follower of the four agreements. The hardest for me is probably #3: Don't make assumptions. This comes into play a lot on Mastodon, where, in my case, I am limited to 500 words. It is difficult to coalesce a complex, nuanced thought into that space. Because of that, I try to ask someone what they mean before pre-emptively blocking them. #DonMiguelRuiz #TheFourAgreements #Blocking #MastodonEtiquette #AskDontAssume
