Permission Slip
Give Yourself a Permission Slip
Sometimes self-care is deciding you don't have to. This week, have everyone in the family finish this sentence:
“I give myself permission to ______.”
Maybe it's:
Not answer that text right away.
Ask for help.
Change my mind.
Be a little grumpy
Say “I don't know.”
Say not right now
Not make everyone happy.
Try again tomorrow.
Put your answers somewhere where the whole family can see them this week. Maybe the fridge or by a door?
Because taking care of yourself isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about giving yourself permission to stop carrying something that doesn't need to be carried today.
What's YOUR permission slip?
