Day 17: Reclaiming Your Voice: Writing Your Bill of Rights
“Codependency silenced you—it’s time to write your manifesto.”
Your Bill of Rights is your compass for healthy relationships. Here’s how to build it:
Core Rights: Non-negotiables rooted in self-respect (e.g., ‘I have the right to my feelings’).
Boundary Backers: Rules that protect your energy (e.g., ‘I have the right to leave conversations that disrespect me’).
Empowerment Prompts: Affirmations to reinforce your voice (e.g., ‘My needs are valid’).
Why It Works:
Codependency thrives on self-doubt. Your Bill of Rights replaces doubt with unshakable clarity.
It rewires your brain to prioritize self-trust over external approval.
It’s a living document—edit it as you grow!
Your workbook today makes this simple and profound.
Day 17
Assignment Notice
Your mission today is to draft Your Bill of Rights. Use your workbook to:
List 5 Non-Negotiables: Start with ‘I have the right to…’ (e.g., rest, boundaries, respect).
Post It: Tape it to your mirror, fridge, or phone lock screen.
Practice Daily: Read it aloud every morning—this is your anthem of self-respect.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about declaration. You might feel vulnerable… and that’s okay. Courage lives in the trembling.
Tomorrow, we’ll tackle relapse prevention. But today, celebrate this: You’re no longer a passenger in your life. You’re the captain.
Remember: Your voice is your power. And the world needs to hear it. See you tomorrow!
