Self-Care Bill of Rights
Aisha Moore’s Bill of Rights I have the right to:
• put my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health above everything and everyone else
• put self-love into action • give to others and this world in a
way that energizes me • make decisions about my time without
guilt • adequate sleep • focus on my physical body and outward
appearance • pamper myself • define leadership and success in a
way that supports self-love in action • develop new habits that support my
self-care • speak the truth in all situations
Take a mindful
moment and jot down some ideas about what is in your Self Care Bill of Rights
