While chatting with a friend about a previous post, I came up with another idea. I was familiar with the 12 steps - but to me, they were too wishy-washy. While I know they do have their place and work very well for most people, I felt there was something missing. So, I wrote my own version and I think they could apply to anyone in any situation. Let me know what you think and if there should be something added.
| 1. I am powerful! |
| 2. I can restore peace and wellbeing to my life. |
| 3. I accept complete responsibility for my life and I am ready to change it. |
| 4. I put my needs and my family’s needs first, and foremost, in my life. |
| 5. I do NOT accept abuse or disrespect in my life. |
| 6. I will work to the best of my ability, everyday, to achieve the best for myself. |
| 7. I will ensure my basic “needs” are met before I pursue the “wants” in my life. |
| 8. I will harm no one in my pursuit of wellbeing. |
