 D. Barriers and Areas for Improvement
BARRIERS TO MAINTAIN THE SELF-CARE
Putting other people’s needs and feelings before
my own
Fear of standing up for myself
Valuing other people too much
Becoming overly attached
Invalidating my own emotions
PLAN TO ADDRESS THE BARRIERS
I plan to address these barriers by telling myself
that I also deserve the love and care that I keep
trying to give other people. That I, too, am
worthy of a love that is genuine and pure. I will
set healthy boundaries with other people so that
I won’t be taken advantage of. I will learn to say
“no” to other people’s requests and start
prioritizing my own needs and feelings. I won’t
settle for less than I deserve because I am valid
and I am worth it. I will try to cut some negative
persons out of my life because my peace of mind
is more important than anything else.
