The Quality That I Would Most Like To Develop Is: Self Care

My Affirmation is: What I Think, Feel, And Need Are Most

Important TO Me

SELF-FIRST

Actions I will take to achieve:

1. Say what you think, feel and don’t be concerned about how someone perceives you and/or what they do in response.

2. Don’t overextend in relationships. Don’t give more than someone is giving.

3. Don’t put others before you.

4. Get rid of and/or set boundaries on emotionally and physically toxic relationships

5. Don’t discount and/or second guess your own thoughts and feelings. You have them for a reason.

6. Don’t let others negatively impact your life (career, activities, dreams, etc). Set boundaries.

7. Don’t assume responsibility for other people’s problems.

Let them solve their own.

8. Set limits on the amount of garbage you listen to.

9. Dream about your future and what you want.

10. Don’t discount your values and beliefs

11. Be Selfish

12) Watch and believe people’s behaviors versus their words.

13) Rock the boat if necessary

14) Eat well; (6-8 oz. H2O; exercise 3-5 times a week, etc)

15) Don’t enter into one sided relationships and/or relationship with individuals who do not add to your life and/or emotionally and physically unavailable. (I.e. not there for you, alcoholic, unemployed, etc. or others who you feel you have to rescue).

16) Don’t do things that you do not want to do because someone wants you to and/or to influence them etc.

17) Don’t over explain and defend you thoughts and feelings just state them.

18) Stop being concerned about what others think or say about you. If they are talking about you they are giving someone else a break.

19) Don’t settle for less than you want.
