I know there are plenty of people who feel what they feel and think what they think and that’s that. Then there are those of us who have an extra layer to what we feel and think.

We’re really good at watching the world and taking it all in.
And we’re excellent at comparing ourselves to it.
And we’re exceptional at making ourselves wrong because we see all those other ways.

Because our eyes are wide open to the world out there.
While there’s something in here that we’re sure is different.

“I’m tired, others seem so energized.”
“I’m confused, others seem so focused.”
“I’m slow, others are so fast.”
“I’m doing so little, others are doing so much.”

It’s a twisty filter through which we can watch the world.
Tricky stuff, this is.

So.
Just for this moment, give yourself permission.

Permission to be
confused
tired
overwhelmed.

Permission to
slow down.

Permission to
breathe.

Permission to be
angry
righteous
judgy.

Permission to
be happy
joyful
silly.

Permission to be…

what?

What is it that you need to give yourself permission for?
What is it that you’re already feeling but you’re fighting?

Say it three times to yourself with your word.

Permission to be…
Permission to be…
Permission to be…

You have permission to be ALL of you.
And I’m so glad that you are.

Take really good care,
Rachel
