“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 myself.

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

 I own my triumphs and successes,

all my failures and mistakes.

Because I own all of me,

 I can become intimately acquainted with me.

By so doing,

 I can love me and be friendly with 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 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.”

Denis2005 Virginia Satir

What do you wish to say no to?

“Believe nothing,

 no matter where you read it,

or who said it, no matter if I have said it,

unless it agrees with your own reason

and your own common sense.”

Buddha

this is something i have been striving for

attemtping to implement into my life

and

my families

BOUNDRIESlaying boundries for all of us

learning to say NO

accepting that we can only give so much

before the receiver has taken all

and still continues wanting more

acknowledging others

yet knowing we need to remember us

each as an individual

and

what our own needs are

to NOURISH our strength

and

EMBRACE those moments when we need our own time

for ourselves

there comes a point

when we have to say NO

and

be at PEACE with that choice

to be AWARE that it is ok

BOUNDRIES

so we can walk the path we seek

i wish to say NO to others in my day to day

when it is our time

as a family

or when one is feeling OVERWHELMED

to concentrate on us

and stay within our BOUNDRIES
