Take Up Space

Today, we’re talking about taking up space. What does taking up space actually mean? Why is it important? How can you take up space?

For us, taking up space means to be fully embodied.  It means that you are present, you are grounded, you are showing up as your full and true authentic self; bold, beautiful, courageous, and full of life-force energy.  When you take up space you are saying that you are worthy: worthy of being; worthy of being seen; and worthy of your thoughts, feelings, wishes, and needs.  It is a way of honoring yourself to take up space and show up in your full light.  When you are fully embodied you are harnessing your divine power and honoring your oneness with the universe.

 

For many, taking up space is difficult.  It can feel incredibly vulnerable.  Showing up every day in your strength and wholeness is not an exercise many are familiar with.  As women especially, we are taught from an early age to dim our light. Many are preconditioned to not be an inconvenience, to not tell those around us what we need, to minimize our wants and desires.  For centuries, we’ve been expected to hide, play small, and let the men take the lead.  This programming has caused the idea of taking up space so uncomfortable.  We have literally been conditioned to hide our thoughts and desires!

 

So, what happens when we hide?  When we hide, when we diminish our needs, dim our light, and create death and turmoil inside of us. We plague ourselves with doubt, worry, anxiety, and dis-ease.  When we hide our true nature and our passions, we remain in conflict with ourself and our divinity and we start to slowly kill ourselves from the inside out.  When we hide, we remain within and we wither away.    Each day that you do not express your wishes, needs, and desires, you are affirming that you are unworthy. You are subconsciously telling yourself that you are less than, and that you are not deserving.  But why? Why would we do this to ourselves?

In addition to societal conditioning, there are many driving forces that keep us small.  Fear of failure, feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, fear of judgment, and even fear of success. The infinite inner-stories and tapes that we play repeatedly to ourselves keep us from living a fully embodied life.  The fear of rejection and the worry of the “what-ifs” cause us to withhold our truth and can even stop people from having truly authentic relationships. You’ve likely been withholding in so many areas of your life, you’re not even aware that you’re doing it!    

So, how do we fix it?  Step one, start telling people how you’re feeling and what you need! Seriously. Every day.  You have needs and emotions, tell someone! By sharing your thoughts and your needs you are showing up for yourself. The more you show up for yourself the more you train your subconscious that you are worthy of a truly spectacular life. It’s that easy!!!

Start small! “I need a drink of water.” “Can you please pick up the groceries?” “I’m feeling sad today, what would really help me is my book and my blanket.”  It doesn’t matter what you need, YOU JUST NEED YOU TO TELL SOMEONE!!!! And then, you’re going to stand in receiving! More on receiving another day.  😉

Living a fully embodied life = showing up for yourself by telling others your thoughts, needs, and emotions.

Yes, it seems crazy, but start to pay attention to yourself as you go throughout your day. How many times a day do you cut yourself short?  How often do you diminish your desires? How often are you keeping your thoughts and emotions within?

Our goal is to get you back in touch with your infinite self and allow you to take up all of the space in the world.  We want to celebrate you, honor you, and to make sure you’re seen!!!

Everyone needs help along the way.  We’re lucky enough that we have each other through our ups-and-downs and throughout our spiritual expansion.  Now, we want to offer that same sort of support to you!
