2. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do (even if "everyone else" is doing it) And, you can stop in the middle of anything you don't want to do anymore!

3. You don't have to share anything if you don't want to! And, it's absolutely okay not to want to! !

4. The only one you need to take care of or "be the Mommy to" is yourself!

5. Be as gentle and loving with yourself as you possibly can. Always give yourself the benefit of the doubt and avoid criticizing yourself. If you can't avoid criticizing yourself, at least avoid criticizing yourself for criticizing yourself!

6. If you don't see what you want/need, don't "make do" - ASK for it!

7. If anyone is bothering you, tell them you want them to stop it!

8. If you feel sad, it's okay to cry; if you feel angry, it's okay to growl, yell or stamp your feet; if you feel scared, it's okay to slow down or to stop and rest.

9. Remember to breath into your belly, it makes everything feel better.

10. If you feel tired, curl up and take a nap!
