2012 Permissions

After an amazing night new years 2011, I made a list of permissions, rather than resolutions. Here were my permissions for 2011….

I give myself permission to...
1. Love myself more for who I am and who I will become
2. indulge every once in a while without feeling guilty.
3. be unafraid of what people think of me.
4. continue trying new things and not give up.
5. allow my self to grow and learn at my own pace.
6. be who I am- loud, independent loving, outgoing, and yes a little crazy.
7. Be nicer, kinder, sweeter, considerate, empathetic, appreciative, and positive
8. be outside as much as possible.
9. see/hear/feel/enjoy as much music as possible this year.


10. love others without a motive.

I can happily say that I have worked on each of these things this entire year and I will continue striving every day to continue growing in these areas.

But its time for a new list. 

In 2012 I give my self permission to……

1.     forgive myself for the choices I have made to hurt myself or others whether intentional or unintentional

2.     be angry, but to feel it and let it go without resentment and move on.

3.     Be joyful, and never apologize for it

4.     Take on a new adventure, without reservation but with a clear head and positivity. And to not be afraid of what could happen.

5.     Never to say, I wish I had…. In my old age. If I want to do it now, why wait until its too late.

6.     Encourage others to shine in their own way, to go on their own adventures, to make a place for themselves in this world.

7.     Try new food! Its time to quit being picky and open my eyes to a delicious world.

8.     Purge…getting rid of all the junk I have collected over the years and make way for the new. In the sense of tangible things as well as the emotional junk I have been holding onto.

9.     Accept others for what they are, enjoy it, love it, and laugh at it. Why judge…it wastes energy.

10.  Continue to love with out motive…
