You Were Not Too Much

Maybe somewhere young, you got the message that your feelings were too big, your needs too many, your whole self somehow too much. And you have been quietly apologizing for taking up space ever since. This practice is a gentle return to that younger part of you. We breathe softly and offer the words that were missing back then. You were not too much. You were a child who felt deeply and needed care. Let yourself receive that now, slowly, without having to believe it all at once. Settle in and let the kindness land.

Somewhere along the way. You learn to make yourself smaller. Not because you chose it, Because it works. This practice is called you are not too much, Not to convince you of anything. Just to stay here for a moment with the part that still believes it. Let your feet rest where they are. Let your back feel what is behind it. Let your jaw have a little more space. Let your shoulders come down from wherever they've been. You do not have to prove anything right now. You are allowed to take up exactly the amount of space you are in. Let one breath arrive and let it leave. Again, In, Gently, And out. One more breathe in. And let it go. I was not too much, I was just not understood. I am allowed to take up the space I am. I do not have to earn the right to be here. Once more, Gently. I was not too much, I was just not understood. I do not have to earn the right to be here. You're allowed to leave here a little less small. Not because everything is healed because for a few minutes you stopped agreeing with the voice that asked you to shrink.
