The Citizens of Me

In the place where I found my selves I discovered many aspects that make up the citizen’s of me.

As Mayor of me I feel I have an obligation to my citizens.

My role is to advocate for myself- weather it’s to be heard, healed, supported, celebrated, or cared for in some way. I also need to protect my selves from harm weather internal, or external and will act accordingly when any of my “peeps” are threatened or otherwise mis-treated.

My eye is always toward the goal of “SELVES acceptance” and so I campaign for this often.

I want them to love myself and vote my self back into office year after year, but ego aside, I also want my selves to have the resources they need to make considerate choices about the other members of our selves who live here and to make this body, mind and spirit a beautiful place to “BE” me.

It’s important that we work together to accept one another because then each aspect of ourselves can then co-exist with mutual respect and love for one another, and more importantly we can learn from and benefit one another.

I can not tolerate any one aspect harshly judging another because – like the spokes on a wheel – if I allow us to undermine our self then we can not work with integrity as a whole [person.]

Nor can I tolerate self sabotage because that makes me difficult for the rest of me.

It’s critical that we here at me operate with integrity and work to hold ourselves accountable. Self- policing is encouraged, but please do not abuse this power. We all make mistakes and must be allowed to make them so that we learn from them.

I know, it sounds like what I want it a utopia of sorts here at citizen me- but in fact- my wish is far from it.  I simply long to govern each aspect of me with compassion, consistency, structure, freedom and forgiveness so that we can all become the best selves we can be for the me’s of tomorrow.

ME the change you want to see in the world.

  1. Part of my inner universe..
    Yes, I have board meetings occasionally, where all aspects of me are invited to speak. It’s interesting to sometimes discover a new aspect of myself—mySelf inviting all to enter and engage equally. All aspects of the self have the opportunity to express themselves and the Self governing the flow of the meeting. the goal, as you said is a peaceful and harmonious ME.

    Zellda has “Board meetings” for all aspects of self… I think this is an awesome practice!
    Love it! So glad this was helpful! I was getting confused with all the me, myself and I’s!
