Assertive Bill Of Rights

(Ruth Sharon, M.A. Instructor in Assertiveness Training Greeley, Colorado)

I HAVE THE RIGHT...

* to be responsible for my own life
* to accept and respect myself and others
* to feel happy, satisfied, and to allow inner peace
* take good care of my whole being; my body, my mind, and my spirit
* to be imperfect
* to be aware of and fulfill my own needle
* to have dreams, goals, and ideals -- and to make them happen
* to have and express all my emotions
* to tell others how I want to be treated
* to allow people to help me without feeling guilty, unworthy, or dependent
* to set my own priorities about my use of time, money, space and energy
* to get what i pay for
* to have healthy, life-enhancing relationships, where clear communication is
valued -- to make conscious decisions to change relationships
* to change, emerge, expand in new directions
* to have my own beliefs, ideas, values without apology to anyone
* to live in the present moment, free of guilt in the past and worry for the future
* to relax, to let go, to "do" nothing
