The Courage to Protect Spaciousness

ree

Creating space sounds beautiful in theory. In practice? It often requires immense courage.


Because when you choose spaciousness, there’s a chance you might have to disappoint someone, decline an invitation, a collaboration, a request. You might decide to put down your phone, ignore your inbox and your to-do list for a little while, even when they feel urgent.


Protecting space takes boundaries. And boundaries can feel like risk.


Especially when you care deeply, when you’re mission-driven. and you’ve built your business on responsiveness, generosity, availability.


But this is important to remember: Spaciousness doesn’t survive without protection.


It’s hard to say no when the opportunity is shiny, or a client is waiting, or someone “just wants a quick chat.”


But when you overextend, you don’t just lose time, you lose your center.


So here’s a reframe:


Every “no” to something unaligned is a “yes” to your most magnetic, mission-aligned work.


You don’t have to disappear, or go silent, but you do need to be the guardian of your energy.


Try this:


  • Create a “minimum spaciousness” rule for your week, a boundary that stays no matter what

  • Practice saying: “That’s not aligned right now, but I appreciate you thinking of me.”

  • Revisit your vision regularly. When you remember why you’re doing this, it gets easier to protect what it requires.


The courage to protect space is a practice. And over time, it becomes part of your presence.


One your audience can feel.
