You are allowed to change the rules

You are allowed to change the rules - quote by Shashi Pallava, Life, Relationship & Mindset Coach

What you believed years ago may not be what you need today.

“Achhi ladki aisa nahi karti.” “Pehle sabka khayal, phir apna.” Kuch rules humne tab maan liye the jab humare paas koi aur option nahi tha.

Wo rules us waqt survive karne ke liye the. Par jo kabhi zaroori tha, zaroori nahi ki aaj bhi wahi aapke liye sahi ho.

Aap ab zyada jaanti hain. Aap grow kar chuki hain. Aap dobara choose kar sakti hain — aur alag choose kar sakti hain.

Ye thought pehle Instagram par share hua tha.

Try this today

  1. Write down one rule you grew up with – “achhi ladki…”, “pehle sab, phir main”.
  2. Ask: who gave me this rule, and does it still serve me?
  3. Rewrite it in your own words, as a rule you choose to live by.

Questions women often ask

What are limiting beliefs?

Old ideas about yourself or life – often learned early – that quietly decide what you think you are allowed to do. Noticing them is the first step to changing them.

Can you really change beliefs as an adult?

Yes. Beliefs are learned, so they can be re-examined. Coaching helps you notice them, question them and practise new choices until they feel natural.
