• we cannot be there for each other without the internal space within 
• it is only when we thrive that we can extend our love beyond the corners of our being to our children 
• children need the space to grow their sense of self and that comes from the space they are giving by their caregivers 
• we fob each other off we play pass the parcel with our children the whole day watching the clock because we lack the internal space to be 
• carrying so much baggage takes away space that you can move freely inside of and provide space for others to also share in 
• your lack of space for yourself drives your to self preserve self protect and self care – these are all natural tendencies that become our crutches when we have no space within because with space these already happen without prompting 
• start with baby steps today face your triggers get to know yourself and stop trying to make yourself feel better by adding masks and layers such as “I don’t need anyone” or “I am fine” or “ergh I am so overwhelmed” or “I wish I had more time” – these are all symptomatic of not being in a sacred space within that is yours and expansive 
• your space will create space
• a sense of expansion arrives when you clear the clutter that includes all the lovely paraphernalia you think you simply cannot do without 
• when we sign up to any notions of who we are what we are doing is limiting our selves to just that 
• stay in your open space let what comes come and pave the way for anything that sparks your sense of playfulness at any given point in time 
• don’t let what you do today define your whole sense of self tomorrow 

We have a real need for space these days with all the technologies that have almost shrunk the globe into a little handheld device. When we open our social media we find ourselves scrolling down the posts more than we originally intended to. And that takes us away from our present moment. In less than a few minutes out brains become bombarded with anything ranging from one topic to 100! So much overload.

Apart from the overload we already carry within us a lot of other baggage. When the baggage is cleared and space created, provided we know who we are and are aware of our own tendencies be those of sensational binging, we can then work towards casting out this, a model that will work for us as opposed to against. With space created we have a habit of filling the void as does the universe. Instead, attract more space into your lives so that we are not constantly craving that me time and that space. 

Start a course of self healing that will bring your into your own sacred altar within. Decorate and embellish and adorn that space in the way that will uplift you and spark the magic inside of you. Everyday, come into this sacred space and play with the part of your being that’s says come let’s be children again, let’s bring that sense of wonder in us again. Look at parts of you that say I am hurt, I need help, and allow yourself to grieve that pain. The grieving the crying and the embracing of this is needed. You might feel very terrified of the idea of casting blame or judging those who might have caused you this pain, but that’s okay for now, because for now, what you need is to cast the blame shame and guilt off your back so you know it wasn’t your doing. None of it was. That’s the only point of this  exercise, to take the load off your conscience and free some space.

As you clear the cobwebs you might find very refined and seemingly positive traits even that you have developed. Are these coping mechanisms? Could these be a false persona?

Have you checked in with yourself today? How much space did you feel you needed today? Write it down. What you find will lead you to your answers and along the Celestine path of the river of you, you will see your timeline reflected very clearly on who you really are.
