I Give Myself Permission To

I admit to having a Type A personality.  I have a drive to get things done. Mind you, in my own fashion and time.  But get them done none the less.  This illness interferes with my Type A-ness.  It is a fundamental infringement of the need to get things done.

So, I hereby give myself permission to do the following:

  1. I give myself permission to take things step by step.
  2. I give myself permission to rest as I need to.
  3. I give myself permission to create.
  4. I give myself permission to put things off until tomorrow.
  5. I give myself permission to not make excuses to make others feel better about my situation.
  6. I give myself permission to accept myself exactly the way that I am (cellulite and all).
  7. I give myself permission to ask for help.
  8. I give myself permission to ask for what I want.
  9. I give myself permission to to be important.
  10. I give myself permission to screw up and fix it as I can.
  11. I give myself permission to be vulnerable.
  12. I give myself permission to live any dream I dare to dream.
  13. I give myself permission to hit the reset button on my life as many times as I want.
  14. I give myself permission to love.
  15. I give myself permission to say 'no', if the request is too much for me at that given time.
  16. I give myself permission to not let negative people stay in my life.
  17. I give myself permission to be successful.
  18. I give myself permission to keep my focus on what is important to me, not what others say is important.
  19. I give myself permission to stop thinking about what others think of me.
  20. I give myself permission to be happy.
What do you give yourself permission to do?
