# Invitations for Self Care

1) 	I can give myself the same care and attention that I give to others.<br /><br />
2) 	I am not an endless 'resource' for others. I must stock up on
'reserves' and not get too drained.<br /><br />
3) 	I have needs too, which may be different from my family's, my friends’ or my colleagues’.<br /><br />
4) 	I do not have to say 'yes' to all requests or feel guilty if I say 'no'.<br /><br />
5) 	The 'perfect' person does not exist, making mistakes is permissible; I can learn from them, as can others.<br /><br />
6) 	I can't solve all the problems I'm confronted with. I can only do my best.<br /><br />
7) 	I have the right to be treated with respect as a worthwhile, intelligent and competent person.<br /><br />
8) 	I do not have to have everyone's approval all of the time to know that I am trying my hardest.<br /><br />
9) 	Time for unwinding is time well spent.
