@earthgoddess7.83: Day 17 — Stop Shrinking to Fit Somewhere along the way, many of us learned how to make ourselves smaller. Don't be too loud. Don't be too emotional. Don't have too many opinions. Don't ask for too much. Don't take up too much space. Don't make people uncomfortable. Don't be too different. Don't shine too brightly. And eventually... we become experts at disappearing inside ourselves. But here's the truth: You were not born to spend your entire life making yourself easier for other people to handle. You can be kind without being small. You can be compassionate without abandoning yourself. You can love people without becoming less of yourself to keep them comfortable. 🌿 Soul Reflection Where have I been making myself smaller to fit someone else's expectations? ✨ Affirmation of the Day I give myself permission to take up space as my authentic self. 🌸 Sacred Practice Today, notice every time you catch yourself minimizing yourself. “I don't know if this makes sense...” “It's probably stupid...” “I'm sorry, but...” “I don't want to bother anyone...” Pause. Remove the apology. Speak your truth. 💜 Share Your Heart Where are you ready to stop shrinking? Love & Gratitude, ~Sherry #shedding #oldversionofme #reinvention #identity #sherrysreikisanctuary #fyp
