I bet most of us can agree that we don't like feeling like “we're the problem” or that we might be letting someone down.

When we make plans to meet up, or attend something together with someone else, or as in my story today, plan an event and then... life unexpectedly happens, the situation changes, and we have to cancel on them.

UGH! It can be such an uncomfortable feeling when those thoughts of, “Oh, I'm going to let this person down” start racing through our head and our nervous system sets off the old childhood danger alarms.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about how it’s okay to not always get it 100% right. It is okay to have enough self-awareness to know when we’ve reached our limit and something, somewhere has to give.

The truth is…

You are allowed to change your mind.

You are allowed to make mistakes.

You are allowed to make choices that might disappoint other people.

You will come out the other side okay and “YOU ARE NOT IN TROUBLE” when you do.
