Choosing Independence

What would it be like if you chose to be more independent in some areas of your life? What would your life look, feel, and be like if you chose to live more independently? Consider these ideas:

• Independence may mean breaking away from others or from their expectations of you (such as where, how, and with whom you live)
  
  
• Independence may mean breaking away from your expectations of yourself (such as “I’m not capable,” or “I can’t do it”)
  
  
• Independence may mean taking the road less traveled (such as no one in my family has ever done this before)
  
  
• Independence may mean taking risks you have not taken before (such as traveling to a new place on your own or moving to a new area)

This week, do some writing about how it might be if you were truly more independent and began to make more independent choices. Use these examples as guidelines. Share what you learned below.
