Permission to Grow
Affirmation: I give myself permission to grow, even when it’s uncomfortable. I trust the process, honor my pace, and welcome curiosity as my guide. I am allowed to begin again.
Are we willing to give ourselves permission to do a new thing?
Not the kind of permission that comes with guarantees or applause. But the quiet, trembling kind. The kind that whispers, “go ahead and do it,” even when the outcome is uncertain. The kind that invites curiosity, even when clarity hasn’t arrived.
To give ourselves permission, we must first look at what we’re holding on to. What beliefs have become our safety nets, our shields, our stories?
Maybe it’s the belief that we must always be seen to be worthy. Maybe it’s the belief that keeping the peace is more important than speaking our truth. Maybe it’s the belief that mistakes are failures, not teachers.
I want to give myself permission to let go of needing to be seen.
To let go of the role of peacekeeper when peace costs my presence. To make a mistake and not spiral into shame.
To be curious, even when I don’t know where it will lead. But to do that, I must look at my patterns.
The ones that feel familiar, even when they no longer serve me.
The ones that whisper, “Stay here, it’s safer.”
And I’ll be honest—this kind of reflection is uncomfortable.
It’s not soft or easy. It’s gritty. It’s tender. It’s work.
Here’s the truth I’m learning:
To grow, there will be growing pains. To reach the mountaintop, we must climb.
To build strength, we must stretch. There is no shortcut. No bypass. No hack.
And yes, sometimes I crave the easy way. No pain. No discomfort. No stress.
But that’s an illusion.
Growth asks for presence. For process. For patience.
So today, I give myself permission to grow.
To do a new thing. To be curious. To be uncomfortable. To be uncertain. To be brave.
Because the path to becoming is not paved with perfection.
It’s paved with permission.
