Who Are We? What Determines My Attitude?

Who Are We? PERSONALITY Passive Aggressive People Task

My 4 Agreements 1.Be impeccable with your word – to them and yourself. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using words to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.

My 4 Agreements 2. Don’t take anything personally. Nothing they say is about YOU, it’s about who they are! Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dreams.

My 4 Agreements 3. Don’t make assumptions. Ask for what you want and tell others what you need. Tell people how to treat you. Tell them where your boundaries lie, so they have a choice when they deal with you

My 4 Agreements 4. Always do your best and it varies from day to day. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are feeling good vs. feeling bad. Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self- abuse and regret
