just going over my old DBT workbook and came across these "cheerleading statements for Interpersonal Effectiveness"...i thought i'd share some of them this monday. i must say i S@ck at all of them. happy monday everyone.
1. it is ok to want or need something from someone else.
2. i have a choice to ask someone for what i want or need.
3.Standing up for myself over "small" things can be just as important as "big" things are to others.
4.i sometimes have a right to assert myself, even though i may inconvenience others.
5.There is no law that says other people's opinions are more valid than mine.
6.i am under no obligation to say yes to people simply because they ask a favor of me.
7.if i say no to peple and they get angry, that does not mean that i should have said yes.
