Fighting Parkinson’s, and permission to be

I have been focusing on permission over the last month or so, and today will wrap up my feelings on permission. Today, sit in a quiet space and give yourself permission to be!

“I am allowed to be!” To just be you. To sit and do nothing else…to be in the space doing nothing…to be. And, to understand that you are special simply because you exist.

“I am allowed to be!”

Here is an excerpt from my book, Fighting Parkinson’s…and Winning, to assist you:

I understood in my heart and soul that I was uniquely me. It was not my accomplishments that made me special. It was not straight A’s that made me special. It was not hitting the home runs or scoring the most points or getting the lead in the play or the solo in band that made me special. It was not the great job that made me special, or the promotions or the raises, or the leadership positions I held that made me special. It was not the schools I attended or the degrees I obtained that made me special.

My thinking for almost all of my life had been that these were the things that made me special. However, that type of thinking was nothing more than the illusions I had created in my mind. I felt that I needed to be an over-achieving perfectionist in order to be special…in order to be accepted and liked and loved.

I had gotten the impression that acceptance, being liked, and being loved was based upon performance and achievement. This was because no matter how hard I tried and no matter what were my achievements, it never seemed to be good enough.

In my recovery, I understood that my achievements had been more than enough. However, I gleaned that the people from whom I was seeking approval, being liked, and being loved had been incapable of expressing these things to me as a result of their own life issues.

Ultimately, this brought me to a place of not approving of myself as well as not liking or loving myself. I felt that my best was not good enough. The people who had given me this impression had moved on in life. However, I was the one who had gotten stuck internalizing unhealthy feelings about myself.

Then, I broke free and became liberated. I understood that I was special simply because I existed.

If you do not have the book, you can click here and purchase a paperback or download a Kindle ebook from Amazon.

Feel the power of: Then, I broke free and became liberated. I understood that I was special simply because I existed.

I knew in that moment that I was allowed to be…me.

“I am allowed to be.”
