βAlways do your bestβ means something different to me through the lens of recovery. Itβs not just about working hard, achieving or showing up for the people closest to me. Itβs about how I treat people wherever I go.
I can be having a hard day and still try not to pass my frustration on to the person in the shop, the driver in front of me or someone I love. That doesnβt mean suppressing how I feel. It means recognising the feeling, processing it and taking responsibility for how I act.
And my best changes. Some days it looks like helping others. Some days it looks like rest, boundaries and looking after myself.
How are you showing up in the world today β and are you giving yourself compassion too?
Inspired by The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Iβd encourage you to read the book and reflect on what these agreements mean in your own life.
