Are you seeking permission to heal yourself? Interesting question isn’t it?! 🙂 I ask because it really IS worth taking a look at if you are taking steps to clear out old energies and programming that have defined your life to this point.

Much of how we have shaped our lives was ‘programmed’ in from a very young age. Remember the game “Mother may I….”? How validating when “mother” said you could take 2 steps forward!

Asking ‘permission’ was literally programmed into our reality! You had to get permission from your teachers to speak by raising your hand and if you were going on a field trip (ie something different from the normal) you needed a permission slip from your parents! You asked permission to go out and play or get up from the dinner table. In your adult life, you need to get permission from your boss to merely take a day off.

I’m sure at some point in your life you’ve heard; “We love you just the way you are…” or “I love you, don’t ever change…” or how about this little ditty=>”You’re doing a great job! Keep doing what you’re doing…”

Now it’s great to hear those things BUT those statements can actually get in the way of your growth if YOU want to create something different or expand your life experience. You may find yourself in fear of letting go or creating something new unless you get permission to do so.

Seeking permission is really looking outside yourself to validate that you are taking the right step. You are asking for someone else’s permission to validate that what YOU want to heal or create is the right choice.

Well here’s the deal. NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU WHAT THE RIGHT CHOICE IS FOR YOU! Yes, I put that in caps to make the point:-) When you take the time to look within to find what you really want, it is your truth and you don’t need anyone else’s permission to grow, change and create! SOOO write yourself a permission slip! Trust in YOU and your choices! Give YOURSELF permission to heal and transform!

Now… in the grand scheme of things if you are STILL looking for permission to heal, grow, create change and live from your true authentic self==>>PERMISSION GRANTED! Shine your Light~Debbie

Did I get your attention with the title of this post? I hope it doesn’t disappoint you to find out that what I’ll be talking about is VALIDATION! Specifically, your ability to validate YOURSELF.

Several years back actor (now Senator) Al Franken did a sketch on Saturday Night Live called “Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smalley.”

At the end of the sketch Stuart looks into the mirror and says, “I’m GOOD enough, I’m SMART enough and doggone it, people like me!”

Although the sketch was written as a spoof of self-help groups, there may be a great deal of insight in it. When was the last time you VALIDATED yourself like that?

I’ll take it even one step farther and ask; When was the last time someone validated YOU and you said something to the effect of “Thanks! But…..”?

In day-to-day life many people are looking outside themselves for validation. Then when someone finally validates them, they put a negative on it. The minute they say “but”, they’ve completely negated the validation and INvalidated themselves!

I also notice people constantly beating themselves up. They don’t think they have the perfect body or perfect relationship. They feel they are doing something wrong if someone doesn’t like them or someone doesn’t agree with how they are handling a situation.

The reality is that there is PLENTY of invalidation floating around out there and if you don’t validate yourself, guess what? On an energetic level the invalidation sticks like glue and you actually ATTRACT more of it too you!

Have you done something brilliant, won an award or had an amazing breakthrough and you still don’t feel it’s good enough? Do you beat yourself up for one thing or another? Are you constantly looking for validation from another for your creations?

Is there something you’d like to create but have decided you’re not good enough to do it? Do you have a great idea but are concerned you’ll be laughed at or ridiculed if you present it?

Do you beat yourself up because you feel you are too fat, too thin, too tall or short? It may even be that ‘you’ve never been successful at it before’ so you invalidate all the GOOD steps you are taking NOW.

I know this wouldn’t apply to any of you…but then again, there may be a line or two that resonates with you. 🙂 If so….FIND YOUR “V” SPOT!

What do I mean by that? Well, there are several ways to do it. One thing you can do while meditating is to imagine in your mind’s eye the color of your own self validation. It’s OK to make it up, it will still work!

Allow that color to grow & expand then bring the image in through the top of your head until you are sitting in a bubble of it. Feel the vibration throughout your body, filling up every cell.

Notice any INvalidation effortlessly falling away as you do this. Sit and BE in the flow of your own validation! Validate all those wonderful things about you! Your beautiful spirit, loving heart, creative mind and immortal soul!

Now, look in the mirror and smile as you look into your own eyes and say, “I’M GOOD ENOUGH, I’M SMART ENOUGH AND DOGGONE IT, PEOPLE LIKE ME!”

When you do this you have truly found your “V” spot! Your ~V~alidation ~V~ibration! Shine your Light~Debbie
