2/1/2017

 
Below is a list of 25 Rights. Notice the READ MORE link, at the end of the post: 
  1. I have the right to ask for what I want.
  2. I have the right to say no to requests or demands I can’t meet.
  3. I have the right to express all of my feelings, positive or negative.
  4. I have the right to change my mind.
  5. I have the right to make mistakes and not have to be perfect.
  6. I have the right to follow my own values and standards.
  • I have the right to say no to anything when I feel I am not ready, it is unsafe, or it violates my values.
  • I have the right to determine my own priorities.
  • I have the right not to be responsible for others’ behavior, actions, feelings, or problems.
  • I have the right to expect honesty from others.
  • I have the right to be angry at someone I love.
  • I have the right to be uniquely myself.
  • I have the right to feel scared and say “I’m scared.”
  • I have the right to say “I don’t know.”
  • I have the right not to give excuses or reasons for my behavior.
  • I have the right to make decisions based on my feelings.
  • I have the right to my own needs for personal space and time.
  • I have the right to be playful and frivolous.
  • I have the right to be healthier than those around me.
  • I have the right to be in a non-abusive environment.
  • I have the right to make friends and be comfortable around people.
  • I have the right to change and grow.
  • I have the right to have my needs and wants respected by others.
  • I have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
  • I have the right to be happy.
Key Points
  • You may be so used to being treated unfairly that you think it is normal.
  • Creating a Bill of Rights for ourselves is a way of affirming our self-worth and the guidelines by which we expect to be treated.
  • When we change ourselves, some people feel threatened. Time and voicing your needs respectfully helps everyone adapt.
