Give Yourself Permission - The Self Improvement Blog

By Linda Binns ?

Very often you might find yourself struggling to accomplish something, let go of something or someone or make some kind of change. You may want to be happier, wealthier, or more successful. You may want to have closer, more loving relationships. Or you may want to travel, take a wonderful vacation, or change your career, or have a more successful business. You work hard, you do all the things you think you should do or that people tell you to do and yet it doesn?t seem to happen for you. The answer may be very simple.

Most of the time, the only thing that?s stopping you is you. You may simply need to give yourself permission to do, be or have what you want. That sounds so simple doesn?t it? It is, and yet it?s not always so easy.

It seems silly to think that if you want something you may not have given yourself permission to have it. Yet it?s true. Very often that can be the thing that holds you back. Think of something you want, and ask yourself if you?ve given yourself permission to have it. If you ask and answer honestly ? and journaling can help you discover your answer ? you might find that there?s a part of you that does not what you to have it and doesn?t give permission.

So the question is are you willing to give yourself permission to have what you want? If the answer is yes, then you simply acknowledge that to yourself.

What do you want to give yourself permission for? Create an affirmation for yourself:

I give myself permission to:

• Release all excess weight
• Have a close and loving relationship
• Love myself
• Have a successful business
• Be myself
• Take a fabulous trip
• Make new friends
• Make the money I know I deserve
• Be a successful business owner
• Have a new career
• Open myself up to new possibilities for my life
• Let go of fear
• etc?

Create your affirmation and repeat it to yourself daily. Write it down. Notice how your body feels when you say it and write it. How do you feel? What thoughts come up for you? Do you feel resistance as you say or write it?

If you feel any discomfort, if you feel excuses or arguments coming into your thoughts, or if you feel any resistance at all, you will know that there?s a part of you that is withholding permission. You?ll want to find out what part of you that is. Perhaps it?s the voice of a parent or someone else. Perhaps it?s a part of your personality that?s afraid of what will happen if/when you have what you want.

Sometimes this is the only thing that?s holding you back. You just don?t have your permission to go for what you want. So what are you going to give yourself permission to do, be or have?
