UNAUTHORIZED

A self-inventory for locating your unauthorized act rooted in love

By Paul T. Shattuck, MSW, PhD.

You're living under pressure from multiple directions at once — work, money, politics, relationships, the relentless pace of it all. The voice in your head keeps telling you nothing you do is large enough to matter. Nothing you do will change anything. You don't have permission.

This three-page inventory helps you push back against that voice. Not by fixing the pressure. By finding the one unauthorized act of love that's already waiting for you in the margins of your life — something requiring no permission and no resources you don't already have.

Page one helps you name where the squeeze is hitting hardest. Page two helps you identify your move and make a concrete commitment. Page three primes the pump with twenty concrete ideas across five domains if you freeze on the blank line.
