Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to.
Every Day A New Thought.
I'm your host, thor Chalgren,and each weekday I share new
thought perspectives.
Several days ago, in episodenumber 132, I started a
four-part series to celebrateback to school.
I'm calling this series PutYourself First.

(00:20):
In that first show, I shared myown perspective as an empty
nest or parent and how, after wedropped off our daughter to
college, I made a decision thatit was okay for me to do
something greater in life.
I decided for me.
Then, in yesterday's show, wetalked about celebrating

(00:41):
everything that you accomplishedin whatever season of life.
You're just completing Todayfor this third part of the
series, I want to talk aboutgiving yourself permission to
shine.
If you've been in a support rolefor a long time, you're
probably used to being the onewho makes others look good.

(01:03):
That's what we do as parents.
We support them.
Well, now it's your turn, butyou have to start by giving
yourself permission that it'sokay for you to shine.
If you haven't done this in awhile, that might not be so easy
.
Because here's the thingwhatever you do next, you want

(01:25):
to be great at it.
Let me ask you a question Is itokay for you to be even greater
at this new thing than you wereas a parent.
Do you give yourself permissionfor that to be the case?
You need to.
I talk about this idea of givingyourself permission more in the
video training series I createdcalled Put Yourself First.

(01:48):
It's free.
It's four videos, one every dayfollowed by a short exercise.
I think it's a great way topause, reflect and then be able
to move forward with confidencein the next chapter in your life
.
In one of those videos, I talka lot more about this idea of
permission and why it's so vitalthat we address it head-on,

(02:09):
because if you don't, you mayhave this subconscious belief
that you don't address and itmay sabotage you from having
success moving forward.
Go check out the series.
Like I said, it's free.
It's in the show notes belowand you can also find it on my
website at thorchallgrencom.

(02:30):
I'll close today with this oneidea about giving yourself
permission.
If I asked you, would it beokay if the next thing you do in
life is greater than anythingyou've done before?
And yes, I mean something doingsomething greater than being a
parent?
Can you truly say that?

(02:51):
If it feels uncomfortable,definitely check out my video
series.
I'll say that for me.
I'm in a place now where I cantruly say, yes, I'm okay if I do
something greater than beingwhat I think was a pretty good
dad.
I give myself permission to begreat.
