7 steps to claim YOUR space

i am a great observer of people { okay, really i'm people watching, lol } but i get to view a lot of different things happening around me. i watch their little quirks and tendencies, the way they move their bodies, the way they sit, lean, hug, speak ....the funny stuff they do when they think no one is watching.  i smile inward at this one because i know how it can feel when you find someone watching you.

i also observe how people move through the world claiming their space, the way they let  themselves be seen, taking up the space meant just for them and fretting not at all at what others think.

i love watching a child play.  they see no barriers.  they play and smile and crack up and cry without thought for what others may think.  they claim space with such brilliant childhood abandon that i wish we, as adults, would also do.

did you pick a word of the year to guide you?

my word of the year this year is a phrase: holding space.  i needed to sit in this space i wanted for myself....personally, spiritually and especially when it comes to claiming my space as a woman in business.

my goal this year was to hold on to it { i already knew where i wanted to be }, to accept it, to claim it, to figure out how i wanted to move thru it and step into that space that only i can claim for myself.

in claiming my space in this world, as opposed to most of my life trying to hide from the light, i step forward and plant my feet solidly, choosing these days to be seen by all, not only by the few i'm comfortable with.

THIS is the action that has you claiming your space.  is this where you are?

oh hon I know this one, vulnerability, can be tough to accept in yourself but claiming you space is about this and so much more.

• it's about accepting ourselves where we are and being ok with whatever comes up.
• it's about taking ourselves by the shoulders and shaking the "shi't, i'm scared" out of us till our heads rise strong.
• it's about removing the cloak of i can't and stepping forward into "heck yeh, why not".
• it's about BE-ing and living and doing and.......
• it's about letting your JOY escape one small moment at a time to envelop you in sweetness
• it's about letting YOU, that beautiful specimen of humanity, kindness and love shine thru

yeh, that is what claiming space is about.  are you doing it?  if not yet, no worries.

i'm holding space for you right here

....until you can claim your own.

DO it.
