We all carry some little rules about what we're 'supposed' to do or feel:
"I should be able to handle this by myself."
“I shouldn't feel this way.”
"I should earn the right to rest."
And we often don't realize how these unspoken rules can keep us pushing through even when we need a break, saying 'yes' when we want to say 'no', and ignoring our own needs until we're running on empty.
That's exactly why I created the Permission Slip Deck.
It includes 30 simple statements to help you recognize the rigid expectations you impose on yourself, loosen their grip, and create more space for what you need without guilt.
Just draw a card at random, read it slowly, and notice your response.
Your reaction can help you better understand where you're asking too much of yourself or following patterns that no longer serve you.
