"Always Do Your Best" from Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements might be the most transformative for those on a self-care journey.

When you truly do your best in each moment, regret becomes impossible. Your best today might look different from yesterday's—and that's natural. Some days you conquer the world; other days, getting out of bed is enough. This agreement invites grace, not judgment, for these fluctuations.

The guidance is clear: don't do less than your best, but don’t overdo it either. Perfectionism—overworking, obsessing, chasing impossible standards—isn't doing your best; it's self-punishment, often rooted in childhood beliefs about worthiness. True self-care starts when you recognize these patterns and choose differently.

The conversation explores authenticity, emotional triggers, and real self-care. Sometimes it’s yoga and smoothies; other times, it’s Netflix and Fritos. The key? Conscious choice over autopilot and self-judgment.

This agreement ties beautifully to the others, building a foundation for self-love. When you stop punishing yourself for perceived failures, it’s easier to speak with integrity, avoid taking things personally, and release assumptions. If you’ve struggled with self-criticism and perfectionism, this episode offers a compassionate path toward self-acceptance.

Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave. Not only does it mean the world to us, it helps other women who need to hear it be able to find it.
