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 my 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 addiction to approval
Grant myself permission to play
Quit being a responsible sponge.

Feel all of my feelings and act on them appropriately
Nurture others because I want to, not cause I have to.
Choosw 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 currunt wounds
Favor the mystery of Spirit
Wave 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 overflo
Own my own excellence.

Plan for the future but live in the present
Value my intuition and wisdom
Know that I am lovable
Celebrate the difference between men and women.

Develop healthy, supportive relationships
Make forgiveness a priority
Accept myself just as I am
And be proud of myself for doing it...

"My Way"!
