Taking radical responsibility 2. Being revealed and not concealing 3. Feeling feelings 4. Being impeccable with your agreements ## Examples 1. Taking radical responsibility: Imagine you're a driver on the highway and suddenly someone rear-ends you from behind. Instead of blaming the other driver or making excuses for your own driving, you take responsibility for the situation. You ensure that everyone involved is safe and then you calmly exchange information with the other driver and contact your insurance company. You recognize that accidents can happen, and even if it's not entirely your fault, you take responsibility for your actions and response to the situation. 2. Being revealed and not concealing: Imagine you have a friend who is going through a difficult time and needs someone to talk to. They confide in you and share their deepest struggles and vulnerabilities. You have the choice to listen and be fully present with them, or to hide your own discomfort and try to change the subject. Being revealed means being honest and vulnerable yourself, and showing up authentically to support your friend. 3. Feeling feelings: Imagine you're feeling angry or upset about something, but instead of pushing those emotions aside, you take the time to really feel them. You allow yourself to cry, scream, or punch a pillow if necessary, and then you take steps to address the root cause of the emotions. This can be challenging, but it helps you process your feelings and move forward in a healthy way. 4. Being impeccable with your agreements: Imagine you make plans to meet a friend for lunch, but then you get busy with work and forget about the commitment. Instead of simply not showing up or making excuses, you contact your friend and apologize for forgetting. You offer to reschedule or make it up to them in some way. Being impeccable with your agreements means honoring your commitments and being reliable and trustworthy in your relationships.
