I bought into the obligation, commitment, responsibility to do the right thing.
I agreed, knowing deep down I didn’t want to, and instantly regretted it. 😩

I worried about changing my mindand being seen as irresponsible or unreliable.
(Even though I support people in re-deciding all the time.)

I worried what others might think about me.
(Even though I know that should never be a deciding factor.)
It gnawed at me for days. 👹🫨

And then life brought it full circle when a client jokingly stated, “You should write a book titled WWAD – What Would Allyson Do”.
Holy heck… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not only did I have a responsibility to myself but also to my clients and the work I believe in so strongly.

I needed to be truthful and take responsibility for what was in my best interest. 💪🏻

I made the call, risking the disappointment and disapproval of others.

It was not nearly as bad as I had built it in my mind.

What unfolded from there was so far beyond my wildest dreams 🤯😲 I can’t really put it into proper words. But here goes…

Rather than doing what I should, I tuned into what I wanted to do, to where my intuition was guiding and directing me.

I knew I needed to be in nature, seclusion, quiet, and stillness.
I need to tune in, write, reflect, and put pen to paper to see what needs to come out. ✍🏻
I was scrolling one night and clicked a button, thinking I was previewing a small cabin in the woods. 🏚️🍂🌲🍁
What I didn’t realize until a second later was that I actually booked it.
That “accidental” click was only the first of many magical unfoldings that stemmed from that courageous moment of Self-Honesty, Self-Permission, and Self-Responsibility.

I packed my bags 🎒and my writing gear 📚📓✏️, making sure I grabbed my “creekin” boots 🥾, and off I went on a long weekend of adventure and exploration.
No agenda. No plan. No idea what I was doing or getting into.

I knew I was being called to this place.

I decided to call my mom on the long drive to the place. 📞
We chatted, and I asked what she was doing with her day.

“I’m making cards,” she said, “but I should be doing so many other things.”
“Like what?” I asked.
“Like vacuuming or dusting, something more productive.”

And there it is… the compulsion, the drive, the responsibility, and the obligation to be productive to do all of the things you should be doing. (Love you Mom❣️😘)
Do we ever outgrow it, or do we just re-decide?

This time I re-decided and here I sit on a deck deep in the woods, pen in hand, fingertips on the keyboard, in the crisp morning hours, overlooking the fall leaves and gently flowing creek.
CMTSU, my friends…
Can’t Make This S*@t Up‼️

It couldn’t be more magical. ✨🪄⚡
I have my coffee ☕, and music gently playing just under the sounds of nature awakening and tiny creatures exploring the land.
I am by myself, and yet, I am not.

Something is brewing… something is waiting to be birthed. 🪩🎇🥳

Stay tuned…

Today (and everyday) I encourage you to tune in.

Where are you feeling strapped with obligation and excessive responsibility?
What have you pinched yourself off from?
What’s calling for your time and attention?
Is there something you need to re-decide?

What are you being called to?

If you were to grant Self-Permission, what would you say “yes” to?

Can I support you in this courageous journey?

✅ The S.O.S. (Sense of Self) Tools in “Misunderstood” are designed to Equip and Empower you.
Tools like Self – Honesty, Self – Permission, Self – Responsibility are just a few I used in this situation.
