Day 7: You’re Allowed to Take Up Space

“Shrink for no one. The universe made you on purpose.” — Walk the Hidden Path

Teaching

Confidence grows when you stop apologizing for existing.

We say sorry for being late, for being early, for speaking, for not speaking. We hunch our shoulders. We shrink our needs. We try to disappear — just enough to still be liked.

But life wasn’t meant to be lived on tiptoe.

You belong here. Not as a shadow, but as a shape. With a voice. With a presence. With needs and laughter and contradictions and breath.

Today, notice how often you shrink. Then gently stretch back into your life. Take a full breath. Sit up straighter. Ask for what you need.

This is your space. No one else gets to occupy it for you.
