4 Agreements Book Review

I have not read this book and I do not intend to read it. I saw these four conventions on the wall in a yoga teacher`s house and laughed. These tenants are what Saniel Bonder, the founder of Waking Down In Mutality, would call hypermasculine ideas to improve ourselves. In fact, they could improve our lives for a while, but like all self-improvement projects, they imply that we need to be repaired and that we ultimately end up with more self-judgment. Although there is an important place for the action component in life (the masculine strength), it is necessary to reconcile it with the gentler maintenance and accept mother qualities of the deep woman. Truly loving ourselves for and with all our human weaknesses is the key to non-evaluation of ourselves and others and surprising unshakability. This can pave the way for a deeper understanding, which involves knowing ourselves as an unlimited divine presence. Here`s an improvised list of my 4 chords: (1) Give yourself a break – at the end of the day, I still think it`s important to know if your own chords lead to the consequences you want to see. While the chords are sometimes oversimplified, it`s still a big little book with a few heavy ideas. Focusing on one of these agreements can significantly improve your life and reduce stress. Focusing on all four can really change the lives of many people.

While these suggestions are usually followed and not fanatically, they can help you reduce a large amount of stress by helping you avoid patterns of thought and behavior that cause frustration, blame, hurt feelings, and other negative emotions. I read that and I fully understand the points he was trying to make. It is a little more sustained when you read the voice of knowledge. We learn everything when we grow up, some of what we „learn“ is not positive. Many of us had parents, either young or abused themselves, and we learn their „beliefs“ habits and patterns, while learning to count, speak, read, etc. Before the age of three, there is no anger. We repeat the actions of our guardians and authorities as children, to obtain love, comfort and emotional support from them. We repeat their pattern because it makes them love and makes us recognize the behavior. On the other hand, what we have done could be interpreted as „false“ and punished. Perhaps this punishment was severe or unfair and gave us an emotional memory of pain and fear. The repetition of similar fears makes this reaction a „behavioral model.“ Child who wants love, you will make more efforts not to upset this janitor and probably repeat the plot that the enemy punishment has provoked to „fix“ it.

The result will be similar. These beliefs can begin as fear when they are confronted with repeated memories and emotional traumas, fear eventually becomes anger, hostility, hatred, resentment, and we learn to respond to the suggestion. Where did love go? You can unlearn these patterns. You can see what caused the emotion, change the way you perceive it, and get a different emotional reaction result for future episodes. Finally, you will perceive it and move the result.
