Give Yourself Permission



Today I give myself permission to.....

How do you want to complete that sentence?  Is there something that you REALLY want to do, but just don't let yourself do it?  Most of us can think of things we would like to do, but then come up with a list of reasons as to why we shouldn't do it.  "There's not enough time."  "I have the money, but I shouldn't spend it." "It's selfish to want to do something for myself."  "There are so many other things that need to be done."  I could go on forever.  Do you want someone to give you permission to do what it is that you want?  Are you waiting for someone to tell you that it's ok?  Well, I'm telling you that it's ok!  You have my permission (for whatever it's worth).  You just need to give yourself permission!

Everyone deserves to take time for themselves - to do something, or buy something that makes them feel good!  Just think about it.  You can spend your time feeling sad that you aren't doing what it is that you want to do.  You can spend your time coming up with every excuse in the book as to why you shouldn't do it. Or, on the other hand, you can turn your thinking around, and think about why you should do it.

Give yourself permission to do something for yourself.  Taking care of yourself is important! Go for that walk.  Read that book.  Soak in the bathtub.  Take that class.  Buy that dress.  Go out with friends.  Take an hour, or a day, and do absolutely nothing.  Give yourself permission to be good to yourself!

So, what is it that you are going to give yourself permission to do?
 
Always remember – YOU ARE AWESOME!  Go out and make it a great day!

Today There's Sunshine In My Soul

I love sunshine!  I'm sure that most of us do.  It makes me feel happy and good inside!  With our weird winter/spring, many of us may not have seen much sunshine lately!  Dreary weather can dampen spirits and moods.  It doesn't have to be that way! It doesn't matter if it is sunny, or rainy.  It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold.  WE can be the sunshine in someone's day!  We can lift someone's spirits when they are down!  It doesn't take much effort to g ive someone a sincere compliment, or to give someone a helping hand.  You never know what someone is going through.  Simply give someone a smile!  It might just put them in a better mood, or take their sadness away.  We can be the difference in someone's day!   Help spread some sunshine around! Today there's sunshine in my soul!  Is there sunshine in yours?  **If you like this post, please feel free to share it, or to share the link to the blog!  It is with your help that I may r

What Lies Within Us

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson   I am a firm believer that most people do not realize how strong they are until they have a circumstance in which they have no choice but to be strong.  At that time, people do begin to recognize their strength. What characteristics and traits to you believe lie within you?  Are you strong?  Are you determined?  Are you persistent?  Are you detail-oriented?  Are you confident?   All of these things are characteristics that will allow you to succeed in any task that you wish to take on.  Once you begin working toward you goals, others will see these characteristics in you.  All of us have at least a little bit of these characteristics within us.  Maybe our self-esteem is a little bit lower than it should be.  Maybe we struggle to improve ourselves in these areas.  By setting goals and working toward them, we discover that we do have these charact

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to celebrate every day!  Celebrate your wins!  Celebrate yourself! **If you like this post,
