Don't Take Anything Personally

Thanksgiving is upon us, and the holidays, which means family is upon us.

This can be very difficult for some.

Don Miguel Ruiz wrote a powerful book called The Four Agreements. Let's explore these agreements together over the next few weeks.

The first one is: Don't Take Things Personally.

Ooh, that could be tough.

But remember, when somebody's upset, generally it's because something is going on with them. It has nothing to do with you.

Practice not taking things personally this week when you're hanging out with your friends and family.

When somebody says something you don't like. . . take a deep breath.

You can choose to not respond. Or you can respond with a kind heart, knowing that they are doing the best they can.

Good luck to all of us on this Thanksgiving holiday.

I hope you have an amazing day!
