[Keralites] Time to give yourself permission?

Time to give yourself permission?

Remember back in school day when you needed a permission slip

to do almost anything outside of the classroom?

Things like simply being able to visit the washroom, attend a sports meeting or going on a field trip?

As adults we don't need someone to give us a permission slip. We already

have a whole supply at our disposal.

Now the trick here is to remember to

use them.

Sounds simple right? Well, I have to

tell you it's not always that simple.

Actually I'm quite sure most of you

haven't even thought about giving

yourself permission to do much of

anything lately, let alone permission to

have some fun. Am I right?

Remember that there are some old

beliefs that probably crop up when you

are tempted to give yourself permission

to do something, change something

about yourself or ask for something.

Here's a list of some of those beliefs

that show up and cause us to deny

ourselves permission:

What will people think?

I'm sure I can't afford to do that

I don't really deserve this

I'm afraid

I'll be considered selfish

What if I fail?

What if I'm successful?

That's way outside my comfort

Let me share with you an example

from my own life experience.

About 8 months ago I was attending

a women's networking seminar and

while I was there, I met up with her,

a Personal Fitness Trainer. She was

so interesting to chat with and I was

really enjoying our conversation until

she suggested that I come out to the

gym and experience working out.

Now after 8 months of working out I

am really seeing the benefits and am

so happy that I took the chance and

gave myself permission to step

outside my comfort zone.

Here are some permission slip ideas

you might want to incorporate into

your own life:

(Yes, that's right, something that pleases you, how wicked!)

(Not always easy to do but WOW, the

benefits are tremendous.)

(And remember, stop checking those

emails) (ok, ok, I'm guilty of this

one too)(This is BIG but so worth developing)

So the moral of this information is that

YOU are the only one who can sign

your own permission slips.

What will they be? Will you give

yourself permission to have some fun

days, take a day off and enjoy it with a

friend, give yourself permission to

have a day with no interruptions, a

day to kick back and just read?

All of these are possible, you just

need to develop the skill and use it!
