respecting myself (not name calling, not putting myself down)
respecting my body (good hygiene, staying physically fit, take my meds, follow regular check ups, follow treatment plans...)
do nice things for myself (take myself out to dinner/movies/ attend broadway shows that I know I will enjoy, bubble baths, a new outfit...things in general that make me feel good)
challenging\pushing myself to take risks (do things not because of my limitations but rather lets see if I can do this, try new things, live up to what I know I am capable of being\doing)
Thanks for this!
