Telling On Ourselves

Finding Your Tribe

This week we are off site on a weekend filled with all kinds of sober fun!  It's our overtired version of how we found our tribe.  

First Thought Wrong - Vikki is reading an email in a passive aggressive voice, for no apparent reason. 

We talk about how much our tribe helps us in our recovery and our life. 

 

 

The 5th Agreement - Skeptical much?

5th agreement be skeptical but learn to listen:  Don't believe yourself or anybody else.  Use the power of doubt to question everything you hear.  Is it really the truth?Listen to the intent behind words, and you will understand the real message.

 

First Thought Wrong: 

Lynn wins this week as she learns a workplace lesson.....Not here.

 

Symbols are only the truth because we agree with them

We all have an invisible back pack that has our feelings, experiences, and triggers..

“The truth doesn’t need you to believe it, it just is.”

It's all about communication! 

 

 

 

4th Agreement - Always Do Your Best & Use the Ranch Dressing

There is a misconception that in order to feel like you’ve done your best work, you have to work until the moment you burn out. I had always considered giving my best effort something that required me hitting a high standard that I’ve set for myself alongside standards other people have set for me. After a lot of reflection, I realized the standards of “doing one’s best” can be whatever you want it to be. 

We discuss how “doing your best” changes from day to day. Also how doing your best is dependent on the previous 3 agreements and their interconnectedness.

Lynn has a funny first thought wrong about having her thunder stolen.

 

3rd Agreement - Don't be a Donkey

We are discussing the wonderful book again The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz.  The third agreement is "Don't Make Assumptions:  Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.  Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and DRAMA.  With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life."

First thought Wrong:  Bre shares the follow up to her speaking engagement.  We all discover that taking compliments is a place we can all improve.  

Definitions:  the act of taking something for granted. Lynn says way more!

Tribe Out! 

2nd Agreement - Don't Take Anything Personally

This week we tackle the 2nd agreement - Don't Take Anything Personally, from the Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz.  "Nothing others do is because of you."  

First thought wrong is all about scheduling and being available for yourself and others. 

This agreement takes us through many twists and turns, but ultimately this agreement is such a gift. 

We are in the Agreements-Being Impeccable with your word.

This week we discuss the 1st of the Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz.  "Speak with integrity.  Say only what you mean.  Avoid using the word to speak against yourself and or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love."

First thought wrong, Lynn has a moment of "What part of I don't know are you not getting?"

We go through the 1st agreement this week and will continue on the next few weeks!  Also, we take a major left turn with some movie recommendations and then back to the good stuff.

 

 

What we have here is COMMUNICATION

Our 22nd episode is filled to the brim with all kinds of communication tips, tricks and yep some fails! 

First thought wrong Vikki has a moment with a vape...

How there is a communication sender, message and receiver.  

We talk today about how we communicate, how we help ourselves when we go down the rabbit hole instead of listening.  

 

When you get what you need, not what you want

This week’s topic is learning to accept that God gives us what we need not always what we want. We discuss the difference between selfish and self-seeking. We also talk about our ongoing effort to do the next right thing. 

Lynn has a hilarious childhood first thought wrong. 

Rebuilding in Recovery

This week we talk about how we go about rebuilding ourselves in our recovery and how we keep ourselves continuing to grow. 

First thought wrong, what to do when we are triggered to get centered again.  What it means to work a "program", and why we keep growing!  Relentless Forward Motion!

Busyness...it's a thing!

This week we are telling about our Busyness escapades, our guilty pleasures, and our way to reframe our thinking around being busy!  

Busyness Definition:  Occupied with meaningless activity

First thing wrong is Lynn & Vikki's mics don't kick in until after the first few minutes, so hang on it gets better as we go.  

First Thought Wrong is about how you can be resentful about being busy.  Yep it is a thing.  

Please Rate and Review friends...it helps us almost as much as a quiet time does!  Game changer.
