Manifesto for Emotional Self-Care

THIS MANIFESTO, A SET OF GENTLE REMINDERS, HELPS SUPPORT AND GUIDE YOU IN YOUR QUEST FOR YOUR TRUE SELF.

    I NURTURE COMPASSION FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS

    I SET BOUNDARIES AND HONOR THEM

    I ALLOW ALL OF MY FEELINGS WITHOUT CRITICISM

    I ACCEPT MYSELF UNCONDITIONALLY

    I CARE FOR MYSELF FIRST

    I REVEL IN LIFE’S PLEASURES

    I TRUST MY INTUITION

    I PROTECT MYSELF

    I REAP THE FULLNESS OF THIS MOMENT

    I WELCOME MY IMPERFECTIONS

    I EMBRACE ALL OF LIFE’S VICISSITUDES

    I TAKE EXQUISITELY GOOD CARE OF MYSELF

    I SEEK SELF-KNOWLEDGE           

    I GENTLY QUIET THE NEGATIVE VOICE WITH LOVE

    I AM HAPPY FOR NO REASON AND EVERY REASON

    I SAVOR MY FOOD

    I EXPECT THINGS TO BE AS THEY ARE

    I PRACTICE DETACHMENT AND LOVINGLY LET GO

    I CULTIVATE INNER PEACE
