Be Impeccable With Your Word: A Review (First Agreement of the Four Agreements)

Have you ever heard the saying "life and death are in the tongue"? This blog post dives into the power of our words and how they can shape our reality, according to the Toltec wisdom book "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.

The book outlines four agreements that can supposedly transform your life, and the very first one is the toughest but also the most important: Be impeccable with your word.

Why is this so important?

• Words have creative power: The author refers to the Bible verse "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" to highlight that our words hold the power to create.

• They shape how we manifest things: According to the book, our words embody our intentions and play a role in manifesting our dreams and desires.

• Our words impact how we see ourselves: This includes both self-talk and spoken words. By being mindful of what we say, we can cultivate a more positive self-image.

How to be impeccable with your word?

• Align your words with your actions: Don't say you'll do something if you don't truly intend to follow through. This builds trust and strengthens your own resolve.

• Choose your words carefully: Especially when referring to yourself! Avoid negative self-talk and instead speak kind and encouraging words about yourself.

• Be honest and upfront: If you can't commit to something, say so! It's better to be honest than to make promises you can't keep.

This agreement is a work in progress!

The author acknowledges that being impeccable with your word is a journey. We all make mistakes, but by being mindful of our communication, we can cultivate a more positive and empowered way of speaking.

So, what do you think? Will you try to be more impeccable with your word? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

3 Effective TRX Exercises You Can Do Anywhere

The TRX suspension trainer is a versatile piece of equipment that allows you to work your entire body using just your own bodyweight. In this blog post, we'll go over three beginner-friendly exercises you can do with the TRX to target your legs, back, and triceps.

1. Squats:

• Start with the handles close together and your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Squat down as if you're sitting in a chair, keeping your knees over your toes.

• Use your arms for assistance as needed, but gradually try to rely less on them.

• Aim for 10-20 repetitions and 2-3 sets.

2. Rows:

• Move your feet closer together and extend your arms straight out in front of you.

• Lean back slowly, keeping your core engaged and hips stable.

• Pull the handles towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

• Experiment with different foot positions to adjust the difficulty.

• Do 10-20 repetitions for 2-3 sets.

3. Tricep Extensions (aka "Wings"):

• Face away from the TRX and grab both handles with your hands near your shoulders.

• Walk out as far as you can while maintaining control.

• Step back slightly and raise your hands overhead.

• Bend your elbows, bringing your wrists behind your head, and then push back up to extend your arms.

• Keep your core engaged and hips stable throughout the movement.

• Perform 10-20 repetitions for 2-3 sets.

Bonus Tip:

• Remember to warm up before your workout and cool down afterwards.

• Start with lighter weights or shorter sets if you're new to TRX training.

• Listen to your body and take breaks when needed.

With these exercises and a little dedication, you can use the TRX to build strength, improve your fitness, and achieve your workout goals!
