Understanding the Importance of Giving Yourself Permission
The act of giving oneself permission is a form of self-love and self-respect. It involves understanding the balance between attending to the needs of others and attending to one's own desires. Women, in particular, are often wired to be highly aware of others' needs, sometimes leading to neglecting their own desires. Giving oneself permission is crucial for personal growth and development, allowing for equal investment of energy in oneself and others. It is not about bulldozing others but about thriving in one's own life while still considering the well-being of those around. Sacrificing one's desires for a period may be necessary, but it is essential to acknowledge when it is time to prioritize personal growth and desires for the benefit of both oneself and the family.
