The Space to be You.

I have been feeling like I need more space to be me. What does this mean? Am I not always me? I am me. However, we can all fall into traps that ebb and flow in our life, and sometimes the "me" changes and evolves. Often we have roles that we play, and we might not even realize it. This is my "boss" mode, this is my "mother" mode, this is my "husband" mode, this is my "friend" mode. There is nothing wrong with these modes or roles, and different people and situations bring out different parts of our natural selves that are authentically in us. Here's the thing though, sometimes the roles can become constricting, even if they are positive modes or roles. The hardest thing is when we change, or just feel different some days, and it may not fit into the way that our family/friends/employees/bosses see us. We can start limiting ourselves based on their perceptions, and this is dangerous. DO not be limited by other people's perceptions, even if they may be positive (and they can be negative too), they can become traps. Recognize your deepest connections go outside of roles, and see the true you regardless of the circumstances. One of the greatest gifts in life is to see to the core of someone, and to have them see you in return. Try to continually check in with your authentic self, your true voice, your present bliss in the moment to be the most fulfilled version of the current you.
