EACH OF US HAS RIGHTS!
Me? I have rights too?
As I hit a point that today I know as my bottom, inside I did not feel well. I had learned to stuff emotions and feels like putting trash in a garbage bag, and the bag has exceeded full and things smelt!
I had forgotten and quit living as an equal human among humans, a direct result of losing self-love, self-esteem and self-respect. I had forgotten that as a human, I had rights.
Christmas will soon be upon us. It can be a very difficult time of year for many. I remember the days that it was a tough season for me. In my case it had nothing to do with the material, but everything to do with the emotional. I have a great deal of difficulty dealing with my emotions and what I believed to be the expectations of others.
For those of you who may be feeling the seasonal struggle, I offer you the following list of "rights". Use them as an affirmation. Copy them, stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye and read them repeatedly. We all have rights.
As a PERSON, you have the RIGHT to...
1. direct the course of your own life and dissolve negative behaviour patterns.
2. all your feelings and a right to express these feelings
3. trust your feelings, perceptions, judgment, intuition and inner experience.
4. be believed.
5. say NO!
6. develop a life-style that is comfortable for you.
7. leave the company of anyone who fails to respect you as a person.
8. privacy and personal space.
9. a healthy, loving sexually exciting, non-abusive relationship with a person you choose as a lover.
10. refuse to accept responsibility or blame for the actions and decisions of anyone except yourself.
11. happiness, love, health and peace regardless of the past.
12. develop yourself as a whole person, emotionally, mentally, physically, psychologically and spiritually.
As we approach a new year, remember this list of rights. If you want to work at achieving more of them in your life, there is a way! Right number 12 is particularly important and is exactly what I see the process of life recovery to be. It is the essence of the journey I continue on and work to help others to find. A happy, abundant, holistic life.
If I can help you through a conversation to start this process and take back your rights, please contact me through www.hopeserenity.ca. If you know of others who are struggling, please send this article to them as a gift of hope!
