11. Self-Care Bill of Rights
Aisha Moore’s Bill of Rights
I have the right to:
• put my mental, physical, emotional
and spiritual health above everything
and everyone else
• put self-love into action
• give to others and this world in a
way that energizes me
• make decisions about my time without
guilt
• adequate sleep
• focus on my physical body and outward
appearance
• pamper myself
• define leadership and success in a
way that supports self-love in action
• develop new habits that support my
self-care
• speak the truth in all situations
Take a
mindful
moment and
jot down
some ideas
about what
is in your
Self Care

Rights
