Agreement 1: Be Impeccable With Your Word… was I impeccable with my word here?
Agreement 2: Don’t Take Anything Personally… did I take anything personally here? does it say anything about me?

Agreement 4: Always Do Your Best… did I do my best here?
Or ask yourself a series of questions. I have found this even more effective in re-calibrating myself to personal power:
What could I be responsible for to get access to power?
What am I doing?
what am I assuming/thinking?
What am I taking personally?
what is my attitude?
What am I expecting?
What am I going for/intention?
how wide am I looking?
What an I stingy about?
where am I erring to the side of ‘it’s my way or the highway’?
What am I up to here?
What did I intend?

-your attitude – I brought that to the issue
-your intention – I intended that
-your actions – I did that
-your words, said or thought
-how you take things
-expectation
