Bill of Assertive rights


You have the right to judge your own behavior, thoughts, and emotions, and to take the responsibility for their initiation and consequences upon yourself.

You have the right to offer no reasons or excuses for justifying your behavior.

You have the right to judge if you are responsible for finding solutions to other people's problems.

You have the right to make mistakes--and be responsible for them.

You have the right to say, "I don't know."

You have the right to be illogical in making decisions.

You have the right to say, "I don't understand."

You have the right to say, "That is unacceptable to me."

You have the right to say, "I don't care."

We have the right to have needs and to have those needs be as important as other people's needs.

We have the right to ask other people to respond to our needs.

We have the right to have feelings--and to express these feelings in ways which do not violate the dignity of other people.

We have the right to decide whether we'ill meet other people's expectations or whether we'ill act in ways which fit us, as long as we act in ways which don't violate other people's rights.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO, WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY!

Thanks for that. If only I knew those things a long time ago~
That still helps me today.

Your welcome sweetie! I'm glad it helps!

Yeah, because my main problem for a while was being able to say no.
I didn't think I was worthy enough of the word.
But then someone taught me that no matter who it is, you should be able to.
And that no one has control over me, only I do myself.

That's one of my BIGGEST problems....saying No.
I rarely do it and that's what contributes to some of my silly stresses!!


Love the post Done.
