Your Basic Rights

Self-Empowerment and Affirmations of Your Basic Rights:

Nobody has the right to know my mind or my business or to tell me what to think, what to feel or what to do.

I have a right to my own thoughts, feelings, values and beliefs.

If people are abusive or disrespectful to me, I have a right to tell them so, to ask them to stop and to avoid them.

I don’t need abuse or to be disrespected.

I have a need and right to love myself, respect myself and to stand up for myself.

I have a right to be who I am and to harmlessly live my own life regardless of whether others don’t like it.

I don’t have to feel guilty for not behaving as others might want me to or for not giving others what they expect of me.

I accept myself just as I am in the moment with whatever thoughts and feelings I have.

I accept my right to my imperfection and shortcomings and don’t feel guilty for not being perfect.
