The last few years I have chosen a word to focus on for the year. This year the word will be allow. Sometimes I think that I forget that my choices are my own to choose. I daily do the hard things, complete the requirements, push through the difficult, but often what I miss entirely is the allowing of the joys of life to happen. In 2014 I am choosing to focus on allowing:
Allowing more kindness to myself and others
allowing more me time
allowing the past to be released when it hinders the present
allowing unplanned joy despite its silliness…like splashing in a puddle
allowing love to show whether its returned or not
allowing mistakes to be made without shame, learning is simple learning
allowing others to be who they are
allowing peace when others desire to disturb it
the more I have thought about allow, the harder it feels to me, but I am determined to change the scales of what and how much is allowed in my daily life this year….and it begins with allowing myself to the kindness to focus on allowing my heart to heal, my life to work for me!
