Creating and holding space in order to be the best version of you
We believe the idea of space creation and holding space is one of the hardest things to do. And space filling is something that we all suffer from. The often unconscious and unintentional way that we allow our tasks, thoughts, obligations, responsibilities, and more rule our lives with pounding volume , can completely take over our ability to just "be". Just "being" is the state where we can learn the most about ourselves, where meaningful growth happens, relationships deepen, and where life's truths shine through.
Unfortunately, our culture hasn't traditionally celebrated this state of being, but rather, celebrates the hustle and full throttle lifestyle. Our conditioning and habits, groomed through childhood, have formed a societal compulsion to keep doing regardless of how it might make us feel. It may feel uncomfortable to just slow down, take a pause, and allow stillness in your lifestyle to occur. So we avoid it, and think the habitual compulsion will eventually result better outcomes. But this is one of the greatest fallacies that continues to exists.
In this episode we discuss the importance of creating space in your life, how to begin knowing the space you require, what we use to cultivate space in our lives, how space doesn't always involve being still or quite, our personal triggers that tip us off when our space is depleted, and how creating space will allow you to gain an awareness of yourself that will lead to more happiness and joy.
