- [Anne] Hello, loves, it's Anne,
and today I want to talk about creating space.
Not just the kind of aesthetic space
that looks great on Instagram,
we're going to create the kind of space
that will bring clarity and calmness into your life
while holding space for others.
So, with that being said, today we're going to do
a little introduction into how you can create the space
for yourself and for the world around you.
Okay, so I know this first one is a no-brainer,
but it is to declutter your space.
So after meditation, after getting out of bed,
freshening up, declutter your space right away.
I know this is something a lot of us procrastinate on,
but just think about the outcome,
just think about how you would feel
after everything is clear.
A clutter space is a clutter mind,
so what you can do is take out a trash bag
and start with the simple things,
things that you know you need to throw away right away,
like dirty tissues, any old receipts,
anything that you know belongs in the trash.
Next, you want to gather dirty dishes
or anything that you know where it belongs,
then take that out and put it in its rightful place.
What I like to do, and something that makes cleaning
a lot easier, is create a basket or a box
for miscellaneous items.
That way, you don't have things, random things,
sitting all around your home.
You can take those items, put them into your miscellaneous
box or basket, and then, when you do have more time,
you can take that basket, go around your apartment,
and take those items out into its rightful place.
This will help you clear and organize
all the things that you've been leaving around.
So remember, just think about the results
and how you would feel after everything is nice,
organized, and clear.
Number two, so what you will allow into your mind
will play a huge factor into how you perceive
the rest of the day.
So this goes hand in hand with number one,
while I'm organizing or while I'm cleaning,
I like to turn on a good podcast,
something that is motivational,
something that will uplift my spirit,
or when I just want to feel at ease
I would turn on some meditation music.
I also like to play binaural beats in the background,
or even if I'm not home,
that way it can purify and clear my space.
When it comes to vibration and frequency,
we can't really see it because it's energy,
so therefore sometimes our own energy
or energy from outside influences
come into our space and stay stagnant,
which causes anxiety, fear, or other feelings
you may not be aware about.
That is why playing peaceful music
can create a harmonious flow into your home
while giving you more of a relaxed feeling.
Speaking about vibration, a great way to instantly uplift
your space and liven it up is with a houseplant.
Plants are beautiful and colorful to decorate in your space.
At the same time, they help purify your air quality
and based on many scientific studies,
they're known to also emit different frequency
very similar to music.
Meditation can be so intimidating,
especially with all of the different kinds
of meditation out there.
I have been doing this off and on, but something
that I caught on to is just a simple breathing meditation.
You inhale slowly and fully into your abdominal,
and then you exhale out slowly.
And just focus on your breathing is enough.
10 to 15 minutes would definitely give you clarity
every day, whether if you do it in the morning or at night,
just take your time and focus on your breathing.
Meditation is known as one of the most effective exercises
to do for your mind, body, and soul.
If you can learn how to relax, become more aware
of your thoughts and emotions, and also be present,
those are the three key steps in meditating.
Number five, with anything you do,
you want to set the right intention.
Whether it be at home or for the day,
set the right intention that you want to create
for yourself and for others around you.
Whatever you choose to put out there into the world,
the same will come back to you.
So if you can provide value throughout your day to others,
remember that that will reflect upon you
and how you live your life.
A good time to set your intention is during meditation,
early in the morning or the night before.
Sometimes I also like to write down
my intentions for the day.
It's really nice to reflect and also think
about the things you want to accomplish
through the intentions you make into the world.
Sometimes the simplest things
can resolve the biggest challenges.
If you're ever feeling anxious or super-overwhelmed,
try stepping away from where you are in the moment.
By changing your environment, you're shifting your energy
into a different space.
If you find yourself in a place
where you're just feeling down,
and you're in the same space for the last few hours,
you have to move around,
get yourself in a different environment,
so that way you can generate new energy and a new mindset.
If you basically don't change,
then the same thing will just reoccur, on and on,
until it goes away on its own.
But if you want change,
then you will have to get up and do it.
Lastly, I would like to remind you to remember and breathe.
Something we always often forget
is to take our time to breathe in and out.
Regardless if you're meditating or not,
taking your time to breathe in and out
brings you into the moment of being present.
I know whenever I'm working and I'm in traffic,
when I'm somewhere that is overly stimulating,
I take a moment to breathe, and correct the way I breathe,
and I notice that it just creates the environment
right around me into a space of being.
Once you can bring your state of mind
in a moment of relaxation and a moment of calmness,
that is when you're creating space for yourself
and especially to others that are around you.
Creating space is not about creating an aesthetic
environment that feels cozy for you to be in.
Creating space is finding that calmness within yourself
that brings you peace.
Because most importantly, when you can create space
for yourself to feel strong and to love,
that just means you have the strength
to hold space for others and this world.
