Cultivating Capacity
Do you find yourself wondering how I am able to send you so many emails?
Hello beloved community!
Have you ever gone to a meeting where everyone is low capacity?
It seems logical, because living is exhausting. I notice that when I justify those situations, I begin to feel a little bit hopeless. If everyone is overbooked, busy, and low energy, then who am I to expect to emotional presence from my friendships?
I am relieved to say that I no longer hear the words low capacity regularly, and now when I do hear it, I understand it as a symptom of a large issue.
The iconic Mia Mingus once told me that " Capacity is relational and malleable"
She explained that when we are in positive relationship with others, our capacity expands. When we are in poor relationship, it diminishes.
After working as a conflict navigator with organizations and analyzing group power dynamics, I now understand that our capacity diminishes when we feel unsafe or disrespected. When we feel celebrated and have opportunities for collaboration, our capacity expands.
This is why boundaries are so important
Our capacity to create boundaries determines our capacity to live our lives from a place of abundance.
When our capacity is being drained by relationships we are not invested in or by people we feel obligation to (while simultaneously feeling disrespected), we are stuck in a holding pattern of stagnation.
Do you know what happens when you start holding boundaries and pulling your energy back towards yourself?
your capacity blossoms
suddenly, you have the energy to bring your dreams to life. I feel like living proof of this.
New Cycles is a dream that I have been dreaming for years and years, but it is only after I have taken the time to practice boundaries consistently over time that it has come intro fruition.
our dreams are sacred, and they only emerge when they know they will be held. we may catch glimpses of them, but until we show our inner self that we have the stability and presence to honor our dream space, they will continue to be fleeting
I hope you will join me in creating the capacity to bring our dreams to life!
