I Can Have The Strength To Say No

Being assertive has everything to do with the strength to say no. You
have to be confident in yourself and be brave. Have the courage to put
your feelings first, if the situation constitutes that being the right
thing to do. Start with some confidence building affirmations and
progressively you'll recognize more and more that you're able to stand
up straight and say no.

You have to start liking, have respect for yourself and feel that you're
worthy. The criticisms or rejections that you received from your
parents, teachers and those bullies when you were a kid should now
be relinquished and dumped. It was then and this is now. Change the
way you think, see and feel about yourself. Naturally your loyal inner
voice will tell you to get real. Take over and tell it to "be quiet" and
replace those critics with positive affirmations.

Here are a couple affirmations that you will be able to use.

1. I choose to forgive everybody.

2. I choose to make it easy for me and be self confident.

3. I choose to let go of weight from the past and to be courageous.

4. I choose to feel open to expressing myself and know that others see
me that way too.

5. I choose to take pride in myself.

6. I choose to feel desirable.

7. I choose to have high self esteem

8. I choose to adore myself.
