Give Yourself Permission

​

Sometimes we go through stuggles, our health is poor, we are experiencing stress, we are overloaded emotionally, our jobs are being threatened or taking strain on the home front but we feel we need to be tough and suck it up. We are hard on ourselves, we question ourselves and behave in a way that is unkind. If a friend in the same position came to you, you would be supportive and generous with your time, care and concern. We don't however do the same for ourselves. WHY?

Today I urge you to give yourself permission!

Permission to feel tired, without pressure
Permission to take time off, without guilt
Permission to fail, without regrets
Permission to start again, without anger
Permission to speak up and be heard
Permission to be sad, without sinking into depression...

I urge you to see the magic in yourself, see the potential and power that you already have and I want you to give you permission to SHINE
brightly.

The world is so full of negativity, hate and violence. I want to give us all permission to love again and to be kind without worrying about who will take advantage of us or hurt us (because sadly they will) But if we don't start changing and we keep ourselves locked up for fear of what others will do to us, we are also negatively impacting the world. We need to be the change and create the change. We need to stop waiting for others to change, the economy to change, our spouse to change, our colleague to change or our boss to change. The old saying is true, what you put in is what you get back.

We are the only ones who can change things, we need to shift focus back to what we want, who we are, what we can do (besides complaining) and what we value and stop reacting to external inputs.

I truly believe that people in general are good, yes there are evil, corrupt and terrible people in
the world but they are NOT the majority (we are!)

I recently became an Uber client, the most fun part of the experience is meeting someone new and chatting. I have had so many great, deep conversations about life, love and the future. I want to give you permission to start engaging with people again, listening with your heart and growing your network.

We are more similar than we realise and I am horrified by what politicians around the world are trying to do in our societies, creating fear and hate of öthers" (who are these others?) We are one human family! Stop letting people define you by your race, religion, social status or any other lable. You are YOU and we are all connected!!!!

I firmly believe in the beautiful country I live in and want us all to succeed and thrive. We cannot wait for politicians or our government to make it so...we need to do what we can, where we are...

No one is going to give us permission to walk in our own power, it is something we need to step
into.

Now that you have permission, go out and make the world better! Starting with your office, your community and your family...
