Courtney’s Womanifesto
I realize that to want and need love is human and I will not beat myself up for having this want and need.
I will respect and cherish myself enough to put myself first, that means to love myself in little and big ways everyday and to not believe the forces or the voices which tell me that I am any less of an amazing being because I am not with a person in an idealized relationship which has been tube fed to me by the media and pop culture for my whole life.
I will give love unashamedly to all of the people in my life who are there for me. I will appreciate my friends and I will tell them and show them on the regular.
I will allow myself to wake up from housewife fantasy land and to fall in love with myself, which would mean to nurture my own fertile imagination and talents, to be gentle, passionate and encouraging to me.
I will honestly communicate how I am feeling to the best of my ability at all times.
I trust the universe enough to quiet insecure, egoic, anxious rantings running around in my head, at the same time I exercise my free will readily in any and all situations.
I will not beat myself up for staying in bed all day, one day when my ex-lover has used the coming snow as an excuse to jet asap.
I will honor my own feelings without falling into the victim role.
I am proud of where I'm at & who I am, I am growing and continually learning from myself and my relationships.
I realize that to know my own fortune I must only look into my own eyes.
I am facing fear everyday in everyway. I will not let it immobilize me. I will use it, if I must, to get closer to where I am going, to myself and others.
I define myself. I will let others in without allowing them to tell me who/what/where/how I am.
