I deserve...
 
I just wanted to start a thread where we could assert the things that we need to give ourselves permission to do/what we deserve- our own affirmations if you will. I think that so much of this is believing that we do not deserve things...

I deserve to experience the whole range of emotions.
I deserve to believe in myself. (A HARD ONE!!)
I deserve to feel valuable, worthy and priceless.
I deserve to be happy.

Hopefully others have their own to add.

What a wonderful thread! I needed this today, Heather:). I second everything you put in your post, plus:

I deserve:

-to find the resources I need to overcome my obstacles
-the love and support of those closest to me
-to trust in my HP
-to afford myself the opportunity to get my master's degree

I deserve to be the center of my world.
I deserve respect.

This is so inspiring and wonderful.
Here are some more:

* I deserve to be in control of my life and not allow other "outside" forces to dicatate the degree of freedom and responsibilty I feel for my choices/
* I deserve supportive and loving relationships.
* I deserve to snap out of the mindset that I will constantly keep being handed rejection and horrible things -- I DESERVE to believe that I am good, whole and incredibly gifted at the core of my being.

I deserve to be able to study for my LSATS in peace without wondering if he's coming home alive...and now that he's in Florida I finally can! (not that my mind doesn't wander occasionally)

...to be waited on hand and foot.

I echo Splendra

I deserve to feel safe in my own home - AMEN.

I deserve the peace of mind to take a shower, sleep at night, walk out of the room etc. without having to wonder if someone is stealing money from my purse.

I deserve respectful honesty.
