Your Monday Moment of Reflection

Jul 13, 2009 by

permissionWhen’s the last time you did something just for you?  When’s the last time you decided that you didn’t have to think the thoughts you’re thinking?  When’s the last time you took the time to relax, unwind, rejuvinate?

Jodi over at Joy Discovered has a great article, “Giving Yourself Permission.”

So many of our hurdles can actually be overcome when we realize that it is our own self holding us back. Most often it is fear that holds us back–fear of being humiliated, fear of failure or fear of the unknown; sometimes it is that we judge ourselves unworthy of the investment of time or money; other times we build up a problem to be so enormous in our mind that we are paralyzed to take even one small step towards solving it.

Today, release your inner restrictions. Give yourself permission to…

…try something new and maybe even like it.

…try something new and not like it; that’s okay, too.

…walk away from something or someone that no longer fits who you are.

…admit your true feelings.

…open up to those who are close to you, as well as acquaintances.
