Something that I have learned recently is that if you want different you have to do different. Queen, you don’t have to deal with anything you don’t want to deal with. So, start protecting your space!
When you come into a place where all you want is positivity, encouragement and bomb vibes around you that speak life; you’ll start to second guess the type of company you keep. Now, that’s not to say that the crew you been kicking it with for years are not good enough anymore, it’s just that your season for growth has matured to a higher level.
You need people in your space that are doing what you’re doing (support). People who have already made it to where you want to make it and their work inspires you to work harder and become more involved (Mentorship). The desperation for growth should want to cause you to separate yourself for the betterment of your life’s path. It’s going to hurt, but at the same time it’s time to PUT YOURSELF FIRST! No more waiting around and pushing people to get to the mindset level you’re surpassing. Use this time and energy to push yourself to be a better you. Eventually, it will cause those around you to level up in their own lives.
Protecting your space has to do with keeping your peace of mind and holding those around you to a higher standard. This does not mean you get to act boujie and untouchable. It’s about living life with more laughs than heart ache, being intentional about where you want to go , acknowledging where you are and getting to know yourself more.
The point of protecting your space is to declutter your life in order to move forward and set the stage/ tone for your personal greatness! It’s a selfish moment but a needed one.
Here are some ways you can start freeing up your space
1) Tell the infamous people that love to hit you up when they need something from you “NO.” Don’t make any space in your schedule or move anything around. Instead, give them a time and date when you are available. Eventually, they will get the picture. I know you have a big heart BUT your time is valuable too!
2) SPEAK YOUR MIND!!! Why, because everyone else does. *Just watch how you say what you say.
3) Write 5-10 affirmations and say them daily.
4) Face one fear a week.
5) Take yourself on a date. Everyone on the surface level knows themselves, but I dare you to do the same 50 questions that you would ask on a first date and if it takes you too long to think about it. There is some much-needed work.
QUEENNNNN!!! Please, give yourself permission to walk in your imperfections that everyone still gravitates toward. You wanna know why? Because you are the gift that keeps on giving! When you put your mind to walking in who it is that you are meant to be, not only do you give others the permission to do so, but the world around you changes. You are not inadequate. God has given you everything you need to succeed, so GO!
Everyone needs the gifts that you have. You breathe inspiration and hope, you’re the epitome of the passions in your heart and you’re the example of hope to those around you.
