The Courage To Be Myself

I have the courage to
Embrace my strengths.
Get excited about life.
Enjoy giving and receiving love.
Face and transform my fears.
Ask for help and support when I need it.
Spring free of the Superwoman Trap.
Trust myself.
Make my own decisions and choices.
Befriend myself.
Complete unfinished business.
Realize that I have emotional and practical rights.
Talk as nicely to myself as I do to plants.
Communicate lovingly with understanding as my goal
Honor my own needs.
Give myself credit for my accomplishments
Love the little girl within me
Overcome my addition to approval
Grant myself permission to play
Quit being a Responsibility Sponge
Feel all of my feelings and act on them appropriately
Nurture others because I want to, not because I have to
Choose what is right for me
Insist on being paid fairly for what I do
Set limits and boundaries and stick by them
Say “yes” only when I really mean it
Have realistic expectations
Take risks and accept change
Grow through challenges
Be totally honest with myself
Correct erroneous beliefs and assumptions
Respect my vulnerabilities
Heal old and current wounds
Favour the mystery of Spirit
Have good-bye to guilt
Plant “flower” not “weed” thoughts in my mind
Treat myself with respect and teach others to do the same
Fill my own cup first, then nourish others from the overflow
Own my excellence
Plan for the future but live in the present
Value my intuition and wisdom
Know that I am lovable
Celebrate the differences between men and women
Develop healthy, supportive relationships
Make forgiveness a priority
Accept myself just as I am now
