Affirmation: I can comfortably take care of my needs.

My needs are important and deserve to be met without remorse. Feeling content and well taken care of is a huge contributing factor to my overall happiness. When I take care of myself, I am better able to serve others.

Like all people, I matter and deserve to be happy. Instead of waiting around for someone to give me what I need, I am proactive in getting it. I speak out because keeping my needs to myself only results in the deprivation of a better experience.

I seek counseling when I have an issue that I cannot resolve alone. Without shame, I express how I feel to people I look up to and ask for their input. Humility allows me to accept the advice of others.

The truth is, people are eager to please me if I voice my wishes. Those who love and respect me would do anything to make me happy; therefore, I tell them how I feel.

When I find myself in an awkward position or feel uncomfortable, I speak up for myself. I have the freedom to walk away from situations that cause me anxiety or stress. I remove myself from abusive relationships and never look back.

Sincerity is the key to fulfillment. I am sincere with myself and with those around me. Works of intimidation are useless against me because I am protected by truth. A life built on the rock of truth will outlast any trial.

Today, I refuse to be a victim and I refuse to be neglected. Armed with the supernatural strength of honesty, I fight off timidity and speak up for myself.

Affirmation: I am who I am when no one is watching.

The true definition of who I am is determined by my actions in the absence of others. Who I am when no one is watching speaks volumes about the true intentions of my heart.

To be honest with others, I must first be true to myself. Therefore, the image I portray in front of others is the same that exists behind closed doors. What I say, what I do, and what I think remains unchanged when I am by myself.

A life lived with transparency brings honor to me. Integrity causes me to enjoy a life free from secrets and shame. My trustworthiness has won the respect of many others.

I act the same in front of others as I do when I am on my own because I have nothing to hide. I am at peace with who I am without needing the approval of others. Loving myself frees me to live life unconcerned about others' negative opinions.

My friends learn to be true to themselves by watching my example. What I preach publicly, I practice privately in my home. My character is reflected by my private actions even more than by what I do in front of others.

I practice transparency because my values demand that I govern myself accordingly. By being crystal clear, I eliminate the stress, distractions, and negativity that accompany a life of deception.

Today, I choose to be honest with others and myself by living a single life. I am who I am when no one is watching because I live for myself and not to please others.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Is my life the same privately and publicly?
2. Do I practice what I preach?
3. Are my values reflected in my actions?
