104: The Four Permissions We Must Give Ourselves

Covid kicked my butt....but it taught me a lot. So for the last two weeks I have been forced to be still and thanks to my undefined sacral that was super hard for me. I realized that even though I had loads of content pre-batched and ready to go I was worried how things would change if I was just laying in bed all day. I had such a massive quantum leap the month before and the idea of "loosing momentum" scared me sooo much. And I realized it was because I hadn't done the deep work around increasing my level of safety. So I went in and did lots of praying, deep reflection, tapping and hypnotherapy- all the tools I have at hand and know the power of. My intuition lead to me to start looking  and I found an amazing concept called The Four Permissions. Permission to say “No” When we are unable to say “No” in the midst of surrounding togetherness pressure, we lose a little of ourselves. It's imperative that we are okay with saying "no". This is not about being selfish, it’s about knowing who you are, what you believe, and what you need. Permission to ask for what you need Knowing how to take care of yourself means you can ask for what you need and being confident you're worthy of it. Permission to make mistakes It’s simple to say, but not easy to implement. You can tell yourself it’s OK to make mistakes, but there are voices in your head calling you a failure and the like. Giving yourself this permission will make you more likely to take appropriate risks putting you on the fast track to where you want to be quicker. Permission to rethink Just because “we’ve always done it this way before,” doesn’t mean we have to keep it up. Sometimes when things aren’t working and it's okay to reflect, reframe and re-do. Giving yourself these permissions helps you to create healthy emotional space, and trust again in yourself. It also show's others what is available for them as well. These four permissions are great guidelines to show you how to get in touch with yourself and how increase your level of self trust How would your life change if you gave yourself permission to implement these permissions?
