'I Give Myself Permission' is a meditative track that aims to remove the pressure of needing to be perfect by allowing ourselves to feel into our emotions and forgive ourselves for our shortcomings while cultivating compassion, integrity, self-awarness and empathy.

Transcript

I give myself permission to be my worst self.

To break down,

To sink into my lows and feel depressed.

To stutter,

To tremble and lose my breath.

To feel angry,

To be wrong,

To misjudge.

To waste time and ruminate.

To be so weak,

So insecure,

So desperate.

To not know the answer.

To have wounds that take over.

I give myself permission.

I only ask that alongside it,

I am granted more compassion and more integrity so that I may take responsibility.

And more awareness.

So that I may learn what triggers me.

And more empathy.

So that I may understand what others feel around me.

Powerful! What this talk revealed yet again to me is that Acceptance of โ€œwhat isโ€ within and without is the first step to growing into who we really are.

Embrace brokenness, for in it l8es awareness and from it arises gratitude. Perspective is given room to expand, and leads to healing of others and ourselves with renewal through eyes which now see more.
