At Timberline we were given a Personal Bill of Rights as part of the self-compassion teaching. So many women there came from rough situations, without much self-esteem, using addictions to fill the void in their lives, and letting others take advantage of them. One of the goals at TK was to build confidence and enough self-esteem that women wouldn’t allow others to abuse them, put them down, or take their voice away. I’ve posted the Personal Bill of Rights under Lists. I’m curious if any of these resonate with you as ones you want to believe but find difficult. Are any of these off-putting or make you cringe? What other reactions do you have or feel when you read these?
Looking forward to your comments!
I like that one about being uniquely myself. I think sometimes I have a tendency to copy others or want to be like them and I should be satisfied just being me. After all God made me just who I am!
Appreciate your comment – it’s hard to accept ourselves sometimes!
