RELATIONSHIPS
I SURROUND MYSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO RESPECT ME AND TREAT ME WELL
I no longer need to maintain abusive relationships. As I continue to grow and heal, I attract those people who love me for who I am.
I have no need to hide myself. I have no need to deny my feelings, or to disguise my thoughts and beliefs. I will no longer tolerate people who put me down, manipulate me or humiliate me. I am surrounding myself with people who are consistently loving and respectful.
Today I will pursue people with whom I can share myself in totality, with the complete confidence that they are accepting me for myself alone.
Today I have the courage to terminate relationships with people who are overly critical or not accepting of me. My world is populated with self-respecting people who radiate caring respect and consideration back to me.
