Your Permission Slip Is Already Signed

Your blank permission slip

Hey y’all!

It’s been hectic so this is gonna be quick and to the point. I promise I’ll be back with my regularly scheduled novel soon lol Anywhooo… I was sitting up here reminiscing on my school days. Do y’all remember permission slips?

We’d take them home all crumpled in our backpack so our parent could sign… and that signature meant we could go on the field trip, be out of class, or some other little adventure that required their awareness and approval.

Well… I was thinking … some of us have carried that same mentality into adulthood… waiting on someone to sanction our every move. Waiting for them to say it’s okay...

To rest. To pivot. To walk away. To ask for more. To want different. To be fully you.

So today, I wanted to give you something… a gift of sorts. Your blank permission slip.

I, ___________, give myself permission to _____________.

This one doesn’t require anyone else’s signature, validation, or approval but YOURS.

It’s your free pass to say:

No.

Not today.

Or Never again.

It’s your permission to prioritize yourself. To not be okay. To sit in your feelings. To take the long way if that’s what healing requires. To stop performing and start being. To do what your soul requires to be free.

Here’s the thing… you don’t need anyone else to co-sign your peace, your boundaries, your becoming or your happiness. You’ve been standing in line waiting for someone to give you something you already have - PERMISSION.  No more confirmations needed. No more validations needed. Just execute. You have permission. You ARE permission.

What do you need to give yourself permission to do today?
