Give Yourself Permission
Here is a nifty little creative project that I think would make a great addition to any morning routine. I found it in the book Living Out Loud, and it looks pretty easy. The premise is to live your life on purpose daily. Here’s what she has to say about it: “Permission Cards take the frenzy out of your hectic existence and give you permission to do what you REALLY want.”
The book has a tear out page with lots of little “permission slips,” but I thought it would be really fun to make our own. You can use 3 x 5 cards and cut them into quarters, thirds, or whatever shape you like. On one side write an activity that appeals to you.
Here is a list of the permission slips from the book. Feel free to make up a bunch more of your own:
Meditate * Nap * Heal * Vent * Forgive * Play * Change * Try * Recharge * Inspire * Begin * Embrace * Simplify * Create * Receive * Trust * Dream * Invent * Smile * Wish * Bloom * Grow * Love * Transform * Dance * Choose * Express * Empower * Contribute * Investigate * Let Go * Accept * Laugh
You don’t have to stick to one word permissions. Here are some other ideas:
Hurry slowly * Make mistakes * Go back to bed * Be outrageous
Make a mess * Whine and Complain * Say what I think * Play all day
Leave them plain and simple, or decorate each one with markers or stickers. If you enjoy creative projects, you can go all out with these, but if you just want something and utilitarian, it doesn’t have to be fancy at all.
Directions:
- Make the cards
- Place the cards in a bowl
- Close your eyes and pick one. (The one that you need will stick to your fingers.)
- Say out loud, “I now have permission to _____________.”
Easy peasy… be a fun way to start the day, don’t you think?
But wait, there’s more!
Oops!
Wake up. Be Awesome.
Adorable Cuteness
A dose of adorable cuteness
to make your morning just a little sweeter!
Oh, and by the way…
Don’t forget, this project is all about doing that one small thing every morning.
There Was A Reason
A Wild New Approach…
This guy has an interesting way to make his bed… he makes it specifically so that he can jump into bed in a wildly enthusiastic way… LOL
What I’d like to see is him jumping out of bed in the morning the exact same way, only backwards!!! Geez, he’s making me tired… I’m going to go make my bed, and get started on my day right now!
Did you sleep good?
