Sometimes the things that hold us back
aren’t loud or dramatic. They’re subtle, familiar habits — like working
through lunch on a busy day, saying yes even when you’re already
stretched thin, or telling ourselves something didn’t hurt as much as it
really did. This way of being often comes from a generous heart and a
deep sense of responsibility, but over time, it can drain our vitality,
leaving us burned out and overwhelmed before we realize what’s happening.
What’s easy to forget is that our
ability to show up as our best selves often depends on taking time to
replenish ourselves — to create a sense of spaciousness within that
allows the mind to settle and the nervous system to calm. Creating that
space might begin with something tangible, like setting new boundaries or
lightening a packed schedule. But it also invites a gentler slowing down:
noticing the things that keep us rushed, reactive, or stressed, and
giving ourselves permission to let them go.
When we clear away what no longer
serves us, something wonderful happens. We become calmer, more grounded,
and more present in the moments that matter. Creating space then turns
into an act of devotion—not only to ourselves, but to the life we’re
participating in. And from that place, we’re able to open our hearts and
feel a kind of freedom we may not have experienced in years.
