Years ago, my beloved therapist, Meg, gave me a “Personal Bill of Rights”. Admittedly, at that time, I wanted to want to believe everything on the page, but I didn’t… yet. But thanks to years of personal development with the help of therapists and coaches, today I practice and embody every right on the list. You can too, my friend. 

If there’s a “right” that you really want to believe, I invite you to practice these prompts:

Intoxication Inventory

When we are trying so hard to be “right”, we often become “righteous” and believe ourselves to be intellectually, morally, emotionally, or mentally superior to others, and we blame those who disagree with us. 

When we’re in integrity, we are empowered to align our words and actions to our own core values. While we may challenge (respectfully) beliefs or decisions different from our own, we don’t persecute or bully from a place of blame.

There is a difference between collecting information and applying it. We can know and understand, but if we don’t use the information and understanding in our daily lives, we aren’t really growing or expanding. 

I don’t believe that we need more information in order to make sustainable change. We might need a small amount of different information AND a simple and sustainable system for applying the information. 

If you’re stuck, you might need:

Intoxication Inventory

We can be sensitive to the needs of others without sacrificing our own health, well-being, and relationships. 

“... being sensitive to the emotional needs of others is actually about understanding other people’s emotional needs but not necessarily doing something about them. It can hold space without taking it on as something to fix.  And, when we are really honest with ourselves about what belongs to us and what doesn’t, our capacity, our boundaries, and our values, it is easy to know when to hold space and when to try to meet their needs.”

Christie Inge

Intoxication Inventory

“Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in the function of many areas of the body, such as digestion, sleep, learning and emotional health, including how one feels pleasure and reward… while other neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, also boost your mood, dopamine is a bit different because it's linked to reward and motivation. Essentially, you feel its release as you mark something off your list—big (a marathon) or small (finishing up meal prep for the week)... a dopamine menu is filled with activities and tasks that leave you with a sense of reward once they’re done. When you need a feel-good hit, you can choose something on your menu to improve your mood.”

“How To Make Your Own Dopamine Menu And Why It May Help Increase Happiness” by Elizabeth Shaw, M.S., RDN, CPT

Here’s an article for your consideration:

Dopamine Menu

Here’s a quick video:

I invite you to consider these questions:

• What are your dopamine entrees? How often do you get to indulge in these rewarding activities or experiences?

How do you really know if you’re a “good” person? First and foremost, please intentionally decide what your definition of “good” actually is. And, decide if you want to use the word. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• In order for other people to think that you’re a “good” person, what do you need to keep, start, or stop doing?

Intoxication Inventory

“Other awareness” is one of the four pillars of emotional intelligence. When we are self-aware and know/understand why we do what we do, we naturally become more other-aware and cognizant of the people we encounter or are in relationship with in our lives. 

If we lack other-awareness, we may unintentionally exclude others. 

Often, we unintentionally exclude because we ourselves have been excluded and/or are fearful of being rejected. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When I feel excluded, how do I have my own back?
