Are You Shrinking?

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” – Anaïs Nin

Have you held yourself back from anything that could have helped you to expand? Could you let yourself take a step in a direction that would lead you to living a little larger and letting yourself embody more of your expansive spirit?  Where in your life is fear of something keeping you small?  If just acknowledging a fear is where you are today, that’s okay.  Approach it when and how you can until it’s easy enough to see whatever that fear is as something you can hold hands with, merge with, and then work with.

You can use the word fear interchangeably with insecurity, hurt, anger, sadness, and anything that could feel heavy or restrictive. All of these states of being need you to bring in their opposite to balance and heal.
