You don't have to wait for permission.

This week I’m talking about reducing stress and how to stop asking for permission. When I talk about finding joy sometimes people think it means being happy all the time. Or they think it’s ignoring what’s happening in their lives that isn’t feeling good. Or they  think, “I’m going to choose happy.”

That can be like forcing a square peg into a round hole.

What I’m talking about when I talk about cultivating real joy.

Authentic joy. It’s really simple. It’s about finding ways to feel good. It all comes back to feeling good.

When you feel good, you are aligned to your Higher Self and to your source. The name you use for source doesn’t matter. Call it God, The Universe, Spirit, Source, the name doesn’t matter. The alignment does. Feeling good means you are in alignment. When you feel bad you are out of alignment.

The more you feel good, the more in alignment you are. You might be thinking, “That’s easier said than done.” But it’s pretty darn easy.

Stop waiting for permission. No one is going to come rescue you.

It’s time for you to grasp the autonomy that comes from taking control of when you use the bathroom. When you do this, you put the universe on notice by saying “I matter.” And you put your own brain on notice telling yourself, “I matter.” You will show up differently in EVERY of your life when you treat yourself like you matter. And you DO matter. I'll be talking about putting this into practice by taking care of our hydration. You'll learn strategies to make sure you can drink water, find time to use the restroom and more. It might seem like a surprising place to start, but I promise you'll be happy you give it a try!
