Rise & Grind 👑 🙌🏾

It’s going to be a pivotal moment in my country today. Half be very upset/disappointed with outcome of today’s election. So to help myself practice the agreements I’ve made, I want to look at the connections a little more. Don’t Make Assumptions connects seamlessly with Be Impeccable with Your Word and Don’t Take Anything Personally. All 3 can make a huge difference in our daily lives. Let’s see how this looks I’m real world situations:

1. Social Media Drama

Assumption: We see a vague post and assume it’s about us. Cue overthinking or a snarky comment.

Agreements: Don’t Take Anything Personally reminds us that most posts aren’t about us. Be Impeccable with Your Word suggests we respond (if at all) with kindness. Don’t Make Assumptions tells us to pause before jumping to conclusions.

Result: We save ourselves the unnecessary drama

2. Group Projects/Work

Assumption: A coworker hasn’t responded quickly or seems distant; we assume they don’t care.

Agreements: Don’t Take It Personally helps us avoid thinking it’s directed at us. Don’t Make Assumptions tells us to check in instead of stewing in resentment. Being Impeccable with Our Word lets us communicate constructively.

Result: Less stress, better teamwork, and fewer misunderstandings.

3. Friendships and Relationships

Assumptions: A friend seems distant, and we assume they’re upset with us.

Agreements: Don’t Take It Personally reminds us it’s likely not about us. Don’t Make Assumptions helps us wait for clarity rather than jumping to conclusions. Impeccable Words mean we can ask gently if we’re concerned.

Result: Instead of misunderstandings, we get clarity and build stronger connections.

4. Negative Feedback/Criticism

Assumption: When someone critiques our work, we assume they don’t respect us or think we’re not good enough.

Agreements: Don’t Take Anything Personally reminds us that feedback isn’t a reflection of our worth. Not Making Assumptions helps us focus on growth rather than reacting defensively. Being Impeccable with Our Word allows us to respond with maturity.

Result: We grow without taking criticism as a personal attack, building confidence.

5. Miscommunication Over Text

Assumption: Someone replies with “okay” or “sure,” and we assume they’re annoyed.

Agreements: The 3rd Agreement asks us not to assume—maybe they’re busy. Don’t Take It Personally frees us from attaching meaning. Impeccable Words mean we can just ask if needed.

Result: We dodge hours of overthinking and keep the peace.

Be safe out there everyone, and don’t lose site that we are all one. Together, these agreements help us stay calm and grounded. The 1st Agreement keeps us honest, the 2nd frees us from emotional tangles, and the 3rd stops us from creating narratives out of thin air. With practice, these agreements break cycles of stress and conflict totally worth it.
