Unlocking the Power of Self-Permission

As we approach the end of another year, our minds naturally turn to the future and what we want to achieve in the next 12 months. Setting intentions, resolutions, and goals is a crucial part of this process, but there’s a fundamental step that often gets overlooked – giving ourselves permission to succeed.

The Missing Link: Permission and Choice

Most people skip this essential step, only to wonder why their lives don’t seem to be working out as planned. The truth is, permission is the key to unlocking our highest potential. It’s about making conscious, action-oriented choices that align with our deepest desires. This week, we’re going to dive into the concept of permission and how it impacts our lives.

What is Permission, Really?

Permission is more than just a feeling or a mindset; it’s a tangible, actionable choice that sets us free to pursue our goals. When we give ourselves permission, we open the door to new possibilities and opportunities. So, why do we often struggle to grant ourselves permission?

The Hidden Truth About Permission

One surprising fact about permission is that it’s often tied to our childhood experiences. If we grew up seeking approval from others, we may still be carrying those patterns into adulthood. This can lead to a lifelong habit of seeking permission from others, rather than trusting our own inner wisdom.

Defining Permission: Allowing, Consent, and Approval

So, what does permission really mean? At its core, permission is about allowing ourselves to take action, giving ourselves consent to pursue our dreams, and approving of our own decisions. When we understand these three aspects of permission, we can start to break free from the need for external validation.

The Consequences of Seeking Permission

When we constantly seek permission from others, we can become stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and uncertainty. This can lead to a loss of personal power and a diminished sense of self-worth. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Breaking Free from Permission Seeking

By recognizing the patterns of permission seeking in our lives, we can start to take back control. It’s time to own our power and make conscious choices that align with our deepest desires. So, how do we do this?

Formulating Our Own Opinions

The first step is to formulate our own opinions, rather than relying on others for validation. When we do this, we can start to tap into our own inner wisdom and trust ourselves more deeply.

Whose Voice is Speaking?

Next, we need to ask ourselves whose voice is speaking in our minds. Is it our own inner critic, or is it the voice of others? By recognizing these patterns, we can start to break free from external influences and trust our own instincts.

Creating Consent and Staying in Our Power

When we give ourselves permission, we create consent and stay in our power. This means we’re no longer beholden to the opinions of others, and we’re free to pursue our goals with confidence and clarity.

Writing Our Own Permission Slip

So, what’s the next step? It’s time to write our own permission slip, giving ourselves the green light to pursue our dreams and desires. By doing this, we can unlock our full potential and create a life that truly reflects our deepest desires.
