Oh For Heaven’s Sake, Stop Apologizing!

Girlfriend, if I get one more email from someone who apologizes for taking up my time, I’m going to… I’m going to write a ranting blog about it!

AH-HA! Voila!

SERIOUSLY, the number of women who email me apologetically for taking up my time is shocking to me. Forgive me, sweet diva, because I come by my red hair honestly so I simply cannot keep quiet about this.

Likely you’ve stumbled upon this site and our girlie resources because you’re looking to improve your life–to feel better in your skin and more hopeful about the possibilities of what your life can be.

And it truly is an honor for us to have you here. I mean that. This isn’t some PR speech, you know. I mean, the real and genuine purpose of what we do here is to see other women embrace their potential, find balance, support, love and community.

Without you, this would be a pathetic waste of our time.

So, if I’m not mistaken and you really are here to lead a more positive and empowered life, then there is something you’ll need to do to make that happen:

TAKE UP SPACE IN THE WORLD!!

YOU are a gorgeous, powerful, clever creature and your time is as valuable as mine or anyone else’s. If you’re apologizing to me (Ms. Cheerfully Positive and Loving Humanitarian of the Year) then who else are you apologizing to for taking up their time? Huuuuuh?

TIME IS TIME! And your time is a gift to any person with whom you choose to share it.

You could be lying in sweet grass sniffing clover.

You could be in the arms of someone you love.

You could be out there on some other woman’s website (GASP!!).

But you’re here, and that really means a lot to us. Wherever you are, BE THERE FULLY and take up the space you deserve.

Go outside to a tall place at night. A balcony, a rooftop, a hill somewhere–get as high as you can then look uuuuup and see the farthest stars you can.

YOU are as big as you can imagine yourself to be. Stretch the limits of you out to the farthest stars and then farther still. OWN THAT SPACE. Be as big as you can and just enjoy all that room to breathe!

Practice the art of knowing that your time is a gift to others, too.

I offer free personal consultations to the women who are a part of our Body Enlightenment System and I am always so sad to learn how many women held back from asking for help because they didn’t want to waste my time!!

Eeek! Your time is a gift to me, and none of us are in this crazy game of life on our own, you know. My exchanges with other courageous women of the world are what inspire, fulfill and empower me to do what I do. I wouldn’t offer if I wasn’t willing.

So, today, practice the art of taking up space and take up time, too. Know that you belong here! More than that, you’re a key player in this circle of life and your contributions matter and make the world a better place to be, too!

Love and big, wide, astral hugs,

Tera

And if you’re trying to lose those last 10 pounds, when your confidence and “beingness” start taking up more space, your body will be able to stop overcompensating.
