Episode 155: Need A Confidence Boost? 10 Instant Self Esteem Builders
A theme that seems to be coming up a lot lately is the idea of taking up space, or - more to the point - NOT taking up space. Taking up space means recognizing your right to exist, have opinions, speak without apologizing, pursue your own goals, and have a body. Taking up the space you deserve, and having your voice heard, is particularly a problem for women.
But men - don’t change the channel - it’s important for you to hear this content!
As women, even when we believe we deserve to have a voice, to have support, to be in the room, to have a seat at the table, we don’t always claim it. We make ourselves smaller, we apologize for our opinions, we sacrifice self to make others more comfortable.
But we’re not doing that any more! Today’s episode has the 10 tools you need to claim the space you deserve.
The amount of space you take up in all aspects of your life has an impact on people’s perceptions - but more importantly, it has an impact on how you feel and how you own your voice.
When you practice taking up space, you’re telling the world you matter. You’re showing people what you deserve and how you expect to be treated. If you aren’t sure where to start, or if the whole idea of taking up more space feels scary, here are 10 small acts of space-taking, for you to practice in daily life.
Ask yourself:
Where are you not taking up space in your life, but you need to?
What is one thing you hate doing that you could outsource, and then have time to do something where your presence would really make an impact?
Step out, play big, advocate for yourself!
It might feel uncomfortable at times, but do it anyway.
