This one might sting a little. In the best way 🌸
What are you waiting for permission to give yourself?
Rest? You'll rest when the work is done. But the work is never done.
Fun? You'll have fun when you've earned it. But you never quite feel like you've earned it.
Creativity? Space? Slowness? You'll get to that... later.
Here's what's actually happening. You are giving everything you have to everyone around you and leaving yourself the scraps. And somewhere deep down you have been waiting — maybe your whole life — for someone to finally say it's your turn.
But no one is coming to give you permission. You have to give it to yourself.
Today I want you to sit with this question honestly — what are three things I keep promising myself but never actually give myself?
Write them down. And then underneath each one, ask: what do I believe it means about me if I actually give myself this?
Because usually there's a belief underneath the withholding. Something like I don't deserve it until... or it's selfish to want... And that belief is what we're working on.
Today's affirmation: I deserve the things I keep giving to others 💛
Today's journal prompt: What are the three things you keep withholding from yourself? What belief is underneath each one?
Drop one of them below if you feel safe to. You might be surprised how many of us are withholding the same things 🌿
