Under the Overlays

Host Hollis asks the question that we all should be asking if we want more fulfillment, purpose and joy: Do I give myself permission to think, feel or act this way?

Our beliefs and actions are a byproduct of the permissions we've been granted and have accepted. Until we become aware that we are still adhering to rules and expectations — permission given to or taken from us by others — we are living under someone else's parameters. We may believe we are in the driver's seat, but if we are on autopilot or in adult amnesia when it comes to what we believe we are allowed to be, do and have, then we are actually the passenger in someone else's automatic.

Who or what we give authority to is actually what guides our lives and life choices. It's the act of giving and receiving permission that is the real driver in our lives.

Until we can dig in and ask this question, we are not guaranteed we are living true to our deeper needs and desires, free from influence and our fear of being judged and alienated or cast aside.

"Do I give myself permission" opens the door to a world where our intuitive knowing gets to step up and start making choices. The backside of this coin of freedom, authenticity and power is that when we are the granter of our own permission, we are also the one responsible for the results of our choices.

Let this be good news! Take the pressure off yourself to get it right, and instead live to get it true. Let this be a practice in discovery, joy and cooperation with your intuition and deeper self. You do KNOW, you just need to give yourself permission to own that truth.
