Oh my goodness, what I know about asking permission!
Branching out feels criminal when you’ve been a people pleaser.
Doing your own thing is what it means to be a man.
Masculinity is a powerful force but we waste it, fail to invest in it, it’s something that is developed and maintained. Use it or your lose it.
The more confident I become, the simpler life becomes and the more I get done.
I must confess, I still have traces of the perpetual voice of judgement, criticism too.
“You’re not allowed to do that!”
“You’re naughty.”
“You’re going to get caught.”
What you need to accept is any starting attempts at standing up for yourself will feel messy, massively uncertain and you’ll likely feel totally out of your depth.
We all start somewhere!
And, just in case you’re still wondering, Yes.
You Are Allowed.
