I am a Non. I value MY well being, my emotional health, enough to make choices that allow me to move towards
healing, wellness and healthier relationships... if that includes the BP in my life... good, ...if not... it’s
worth the price... I am worth the price.
I am a Non... it is NOT my fault that the BP in my life is
sick... it IS my responsibility to care for myself, to work
on my healing, and ensure my own safety and that of my
children.
I choose to Walk a Healing Journey.
In recognition of this commitment to myself, I
______________________________, affirm the following on this
_______ day of the year 200___, and make the following
promises to myself:
I will do my best to honour the Teaching
of Respect, Kindness, Co-operation, Sharing,
Courage, Humility and Honesty, within myself: my Mind,
my Physical Body, my Sacred Spirit and Emotions.
I respect the sanctity of Life, in all it’s forms,
and I will honour the Teachings in my relationships
with All My Relations: the Two Leggeds, the
Four Leggeds, the Wingeds and the Swimmers, and all of
Creation.
I accept the responsibilities of learning to Walk a
Healing Journey, using my own unique and personal
strengths, gifts and abilities.
I understand that change may be frightening and
cannot be accomplished overnight.If I find myself
falling into other unhealthy ways, I will forgive
myself, ask forgiveness of those I may have hurt, and
begin again.
I will begin to forgive those who have hurt me over
the course of my life, understanding that they to may
have been hurt, or abused and may be acting out their
own pain. I understand that I was not to blame, nor was
I responsible for my own abuse.
I will accept responsibility for my own actions,
past and present. I take personal ownership and
responsibility for attending to my own personal healing
and growth.This involves seeking out those who have the
skills to assist me to seek better and more healthy
ways of dealing with my issues.
I will accept what now is, but continue to work, in
thought, actions and prayers towards a healthier
future, for the future of myself and my
children.
