Affirmations of Your Basic Rights:

♥ Nobody has the right to know my mind or my business or to tell me what to think, what to feel or what to do.♥ I have a right to my own thoughts, feelings, values and beliefs.♥ If people are abusive or disrespectful to me, I have a right to tell them so, to ask them to stop and to avoid them.♥ I don’t need abuse or to be disrespected.♥ I have a need and right to love myself, respect myself and to stand up for myself.

♥ I have a right to be who I am and to harmlessly live my own life regardless of whether others don’t like it.

♥ I don’t have to feel guilty for not behaving as others might want me to or for not giving others what they expect of me.

♥ I accept myself just as I am in the moment with whatever thoughts and feelings I have.

♥ I accept my right to my imperfection and shortcomings and don’t feel guilty for not being perfect.

♥ I believe that we should do unto others as we should have them do unto us and that is to be treated with love and respect.

♥ I believe that if I am true to myself and live by the highest truth I know, things will turn out for the best in the long run.
