September does not require you to keep being the person you needed to become to survive the months before it. You are allowed to enter this season lighter. You are allowed to change your mind about what you want from your life. And after everything you’ve carried this year, you are allowed to believe the months ahead could hold something good.
Reminders for September –
you’re allowed to start over
you’re allowed to want things you didn’t want before
you’re allowed to walk away from what no longer fits
you’re allowed to be different than you were last year
you’re allowed to dream bigger than you have before
Jacqueline Whitney
you’re allowed to outgrow people, places, and dreams
you’re allowed to take up more space
you’re allowed to ask for what you need
you’re allowed to rest before you’ve earned it
you’re allowed to receive without explanation
you’re allowed to celebrate yourself
you’re allowed to dream bigger than you have before
you’re allowed to be hopeful again
you’re allowed to walk into this season as someone new
you’re allowed to leave the heaviness behind
