My Declaration of Self-Esteem
I AM ME In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it I own everything about me - my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions whether they be to others or to myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears I own all my triumps and successes, all my failures and mistakes Because I own all of me, I can cebcome intimately acquainted with me. By doing so I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know. But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me I own me, and therefore I can engineer me I am me and I AM OKAY

My Declaration of Self-Esteem

I AM ME

In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me

Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it

I own everything about me - my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice,
all my actions whether they be to others or to myself.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears

I own all my triumps and successes, all my failures and mistakes

Because I own all of me, I can cebcome intimately acquainted with me.
By doing so I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts.

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.

But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me

If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do

I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me

I own me, and therefore I can engineer me

I am me and

I AM OKAY
