I often wondered if writer’s block isn’t just an excuse
because I’m letting fear take over. Maybe I’m afraid to let my creativity flow and
expand into my energy field? Maybe I’m afraid of being seen?
A close friend of mine recently said to me she feels like
she takes up too much space. She was referring to her weight and overall body
image. I began thinking that a lot of us may be afraid to take up space. Not
entirely weight/size wise, more in stepping in to our own and making space or a
place for ourselves. Not allowing fear to stifle our creativity.
How many of us are tired of staying quiet when
we want to sing, or dance, or possibly shout? It’s time for a major energy shift, one in which we
hone our abilities and share them with the world. We don’t have to be afraid to expand in this world, to expand into our energy fields (or whatever you like to call it). This is a time when we can
live, love and manifest remarkable new experiences. We can finally start taking
up space, and take up as much space as possible!
Let’s fill our field with love
and gratitude, letting go of fear to own our truth. Learning to love ourselves
and expect to get all the things we desire. We are worthy of this and deserve
all of it just because we exist.

My mom said the most poignant thing to me the other day. We were talking
about EFT and creating better lives for ourselves. She said when you love
yourself fully you're finally taking complete responsibility for you. Through
tapping (EFT) and meditation my mom has broken through several limiting core
beliefs about herself. She told me that being a single parent and raising two
kids seemed less intimidating than taking full responsibility for herself!
This was
so enlightening to me. I never realized how much fear I have about taking responsibility
for me…what if I let myself down? I never want to let anyone down, I’ve spent
years trying to be the perfect friend, daughter, girlfriend, sister, employee, boss, customer, co-worker,
and several other titles just because I didn’t want to let anyone down. Taking
responsibility for me means honoring and loving myself. All these what-if’s
started popping up when I took a closer look at my fear relating to loving myself.
What if I’m not cut out for it? What if I can’t really love myself? How am I
going to do this?
Whenever I’m
faced with something that seems overwhelming or super scary I often make a list
of things that help me feel more prepared. I came up with a few steps I’ve been
taking along this journey of self-love. Step 1: being truthful about what I
want and what makes me happy. Step 2: starting to overcome my fear, which tapping
helps me with daily (sometimes hourly!) Step 3: believing I can do this. The
believing part is crucial. You must believe that you can do this. Anything you
want to accomplish and have in your life comes quickly when you believe it’s
already yours. Step 4: acting like it is so. What would someone who loves themself
and takes full responsibility for themself look like? Well, they’d probably say
good things about themself, I imagine they smile a good bit, eat well (zero
fast food), exercise (preferably yoga), create and experience things that bring
joy, and surround themself with people that think they’re awesome.
I look
back at all the things I’ve accomplished and I know if I can do all of that…I
can do this too. I challenge you to look back at your life, you’ve done some
pretty spectacular things I’m sure! Make a list of your top 10 accomplishments;
shoot for 20 if it feels right. Believe in yourself and your ability to love
yourself and take responsibility for you! Try meditation and EFT to shift your energy. Don’t forget to practice gratitude every day. I wake up each morning
and say at least 10 things I’m grateful for. Gratitude automatically shifts
your energy to a more loving place where anything is possible.
