Allow Yourself

http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/d...ndkeephope.jpg

Allow yourself to dream,
And when you do dream big

Allow yourself to learn
And when you do learn all you can

Allow yourself to laugh
And when you do share your laughter

Allow yourself to set goals
And when you do reward yourself as you move forward

Allow yourself to be determined
And when you do you will find you will succeed

Allow yourself to believe in yourself
And when you do you will find self confidence

Allow yourself to lend a helping hand
And when you do a hand will help you.

Allow yourself relaxation
And when you do you will find new ideas.

Allow yourself love
And when you do you will find love in return

Allow yourself to be happy
And when you do you will influence others around you.

Allow yourself to be positive
And when you do life will get easier.

A good reading. I know I had to give myself permission to cry, my ex-husband told me at 21 to shut them down because I used them as a weapon, so I did. I also had to give myself permission to go to bed when I was tired. I had to look at my motive and intent. Was I just emotionally tired and hiding from the world, was I depressed, or did I have a reason to be tired. It is okay to be emotionally tired as a result of working through our issues, they are more fatiguing that physical labour. It is just a case of whether we are processing them or stuffing and ignoring them.
