SELF- PERMISSION
01 January 1970
We are encouraged to give ourselves permission to be ourselves, to live big, to accept ourselves and to be happy in millions of blogs and posts online as well as self-help books among others. Research on personal autonomy has consistently found people who feel free and act freely show more motivation, authenticity, and wellbeing. Could actively giving oneself permission have any positive effects? Would it be enough?'
