The ice fishing fans are going to love this weekend. The forecast is for minus 26 degrees on Saturday night in Wadena. Soon they will be able to drive their trucks out on the ice.

For me, the next most important self-talk is the “Four Agreements Affirmations” taken from the book “The Four Agreements” written by don Miquel Ruiz. Sometimes it is best to say these many times each day.

I will be impeccable with my word. I will speak with integrity. I will say only what I mean and avoid using the word to speak against myself or to gossip about others. I will use the power of my word in the direction of truth and love.

I will not take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of me. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When I am immune to the (negative) opinions and actions of others, I won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

I will not make assumptions. I will find the courage to ask questions and to express what I really want. I will communicate with others as clearly as I can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With this one agreement, I can completely transform my life.

I will always do my best. My best is going to change from moment to moment. It will be different when I am healthy as opposed to when I am sick. Under any circumstance, I will simply do my best and as a result, I will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
