How the Four Agreements Can Help Uncover Your Mindset Blind Spots

“I don't have to react. I can choose how to respond.” – Ana Melikian In this episode, the host, Ana Melikian, delves into the powerful concepts presented in “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz and how they relate to mindset blind spots. Ana discusses the importance of recognizing these self-limiting beliefs, which she calls “mindset blind spots,” and how they shape our reactions and perceptions. Ana explores the profound idea that these beliefs are learned and can be unlearned, much like visual blind spots can be identified. She introduces an “A-B-C” process to help listeners become aware of these blind spots: Awareness, Breathe out, and Create your response. Ana emphasizes the significance of creating spaces for self-awareness to discover these subconscious rules that govern our lives. She also challenges listeners to a seven-day awareness practice, aimed at focusing on becoming aware of self-limiting beliefs without trying to change them immediately. This lays the groundwork for future discussions on the four transformative agreements proposed by Don Miguel Ruiz: “Be impeccable with your word,” “Don't take anything personally,” “Don't make assumptions,” and “Always do your best.” Join Ana as she embarks on this journey of self-discovery and growth, offering practical steps to expand what is possible in our personal and professional lives.
