Where in your life are you waiting for permission?
What if you could give yourself that permission instead?

[TalkPlayground @TalkPlayground]

Many of us learn throughout our lives to wait for permission.

So much so that we don’t move forward unless we have permission.

We wait for our parents to give us permission to go out with friends, or our boss to give us permission to take a break.

As we learn more self-autonomy and self-authority, we also have to learn the art of giving ourselves permission.

“The only thing that our intense feelings cannot stand is being completely welcomed. They thrive on our resistance to them. Devoid of that resistance, they can’t stand for long.”

@Theholisticpsyc Shame is a painful emotion, one that can hold us back in every area of our lives. Instead of shaming people, let's try to empathize with them.

@Theholisticpsyc Thank you for bringing attention to the importance of emotional education. We all deserve to feel confident and capable in our relationships.

@Theholisticpsyc This is exactly why we make time for play. Play helps us reduce shame, and helps us not take things so seriously and personally.

A quick sign someone is dealing with a lot of shame: they take things deeply personally.

We all need people in our lives who make us feel understood. These are the people who accept us for who we are, without judgment. They make us feel like we belong and that we're not alone.

Getting enough quality sleep is important for our physical and mental health. If we're not getting enough sleep, we might be irritable, anxious, or stressed.

[TalkPlayground @TalkPlayground]

We all need approval, but sometimes we don't get it from the people we want it from the most. Maybe our parents are always critical or, maybe our friends don't seem to understand us. It's important to find people who will accept us for who we are and love us unconditionally.
