Are you running out of space in your home? Are your closets overflowing and dresser drawers jampacked? Do you have piles of stuff on the floor? What if the lack of space is keeping you from attracting that special someone? With all the clutter, maybe you don't have room in your life for a partner. There is literally no space for someone to occupy.
I have a tendency to procrastinate when something seems unappealing or difficult to do. I might avoid doing something when I don’t know how or where to start.
A friend recently asked if I had advice for choosing between two things that have their set of pros and cons. I assumed it was work-related since she's currently looking for a job. Not knowing the context or what the choices were, I gave her general advice.
Holding space for a partner, a friend or a family member means supporting the person emotionally. When someone is going through a tough time, holding space means being understanding and having empathy for their situation. It's about listening and validating their feelings.
No one person will be able to meet every single one of your emotional needs, every single time. That’s why it’s good to have a support system of friends and family you can lean on. But even then, there will be times when you’ll need to be able to self-soothe.
