I've made a decision.
Over the summer, and yes, we actually had a cracking summer here in the UK 😂☀️
I've realised it's time for me to stop doing things because they're 'expected' of me.
Things I should be doing.
Things I'm 'supposed' to do because I'm a mum, a grandma, a therapist, a wife, a woman in her 60s… or whatever other label happens to be attached to me.
I've spent decades toeing the line.
Being sensible.
Doing what was expected.
And somewhere along the way this summer, I decided…
Enough.
I've shaken off that old coat and I'm giving myself the freedom to do what feels right for me, in my way.
And honestly?
It's immensely liberating.
I can't deny it's taking a little time and a bit of work to get used to it. Those old 'shoulds' have been hanging around for a very long time.
But…
FREEDOM TO BE ME.
Ohhhh, that's music to my soul. 💜
And I'm curious…
What would you stop doing if you stopped worrying about what you were “supposed” to do?
