W.I.N. Wednesday: Give yourself permission.

In today’s world there is a lot of pressure on people to somehow be able to constantly perform at superhuman levels. Social media and commercials would have us believe we are all supposed to have the perfect body, the perfect marriage, and the perfect life. We are supposed to be the perfect spouse or partner, the perfect parent, and the perfect friend. We are supposed to be the perfect leader, perfect employee, perfect trainer, and coach. We are supposed to have the perfect Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.

Not only is this unrealistic, but it is also dangerous to your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Give yourself permission to be human. Humans are flawed. Humans struggle. Humans have ups and downs. Humans have good days and bad days. No one except you knows everything that is going on in your head, your body, and your life.

“You’re allowed to have off days. You're allowed to feel completely drained from all that is going on in your life and has been for a while. You're allowed to take a break from responsibilities to take care of yourself. You're allowed to express your feelings how you need to. You should not feel guilty for not feeling like or acting like yourself. It is in these times you discover yourself, your strength, you discover meaning and resiliency and all you need to live a good life. You will look back on these times and be proud of the person you fought for ― you will be proud of you.”

Jacqueline Whitney

Allow yourself to be human. Allowing yourself to be human does not mean we stop striving to learn and grow. It simply means that we accept that some days that is going to be easier than others. And sometimes we just need to take the day off.

What’s Important Now? Give yourself permission to be human.
