Want something new in your life? Choose to create space for it.
The Universe abhors empty space, and will swoop in to fill it as soon as it’s made available. But if every area of our lives is packed full of stuff – whether it be physical things, emotional stories, habits, or egoic identities – then there is no space for the Universe to deliver something else. All of those things that we hold onto to define ourselves (no matter how much we claim to dislike it) can be the very things that block us from receiving what it is we actually want, and from becoming our highest expression.
By proactively and authentically surrendering, releasing, or removing this stuff from our space, we energetically communicate with the Universe that we are ready to receive something different.
Creating space can take form in many ways. Below are a few to consider:
Clean out your home, office, car, locker, closet, desk, etc. This can start with even one drawer or one shelf. Do your best to donate, sell, or gift anything that no longer resonates with you as there is likely someone waiting to receive that very thing as part of their next evolution.
Give yourself time to feel & process your emotions – whether it be those that come up in the moment or those that have been repressed for a long time. Grant them unrestricted space to expand, to move, and to flow within you, and then let them go. Practice acknowledging, accepting and honoring all parts of you, including your inner child and your shadow (anything about you that you believe to be less desirable or contradictory). In accepting them, you release your resistance to them, and in turn reopen flowing streams of energy.
Release the beliefs or stories that you repeatedly use to define yourself. Anything that keeps you boxed in, small, restricted, or rigid, or anything you find yourself grasping onto for a sense of security. Begin with those that are more obviously unaligned with your authentic Self, and work towards releasing all defined aspects of Self (this is your safety net). Without them, you can evolve freely.
Delete old text messages or emails, filter out your music or news, delete apps, unfollow or mute people/accounts that don’t support your true sense of Self. In general, be very aware of what you’re consuming – the more you consume, the less space is available for your own essence to shine through.
Consider all the people in your life - friends, family, old romantic partners, colleagues, etc. Release or adjust any relationships that feel confining or draining, choose to consciously fill your life with people who feel expansive, and establish boundaries across the board.
Evaluate whether the roles/tasks you’ve taken on feel authentic to you. If not, can they be released, outsourced or reallocated to someone else?
Consider all of your habits, and which, if any, are keeping you bound to an old sense of self. Can you make some adjustments (even very minors ones) to actively embody a more authentically aligned version of you?
We often cling to our expectations and/or desires about how life should unfold, yet the real shift comes through letting go — through surrender. What if you softened your grip on the vision you hold, gently easing the need to control how it all takes shape? In that openness, you create space for the unexpected, and perhaps something even greater than you imagined, to emerge.
Our energy body carries bits of information from everything and everyone throughout our lives. Consider cleansing your aura regularly to release anything that's not yours.
