Giving Ourselves Permission

I have been fighting a bronchial infection since Saturday - and engaging in radical self-care (sleeping 9-10 hours a night, staying quiet, not pushing myself to do much). This has not been easy. I've been facing anxiety over "not doing". Not writing a new workshop, not exercising, not cleaning the house, etc. It makes me wonder - what do I, and you, have trouble giving ourselves permission to do? I know for me in the past that has included:

• being late
  
• making a mistake/being wrong
  
• making a fuss over me
  

What about you????
