“Reclaiming Your Space”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Not every energy belongs in your body, release what isn’t yours.”

Being around others, especially family, means absorbing stories, moods, expectations, and histories that don’t belong to you. After gatherings, it’s common to feel heavy or scattered without knowing why. This is not weakness, it’s the sensitivity that lets you care deeply.

Reclaiming yourself is not selfish, it’s necessary, return to the practices that ground you: a long walk, a hot shower or bath, sitting by a window in silence. You get to sift through what lingers on and give back what was never yours to carry.

Exhale the pieces
that weren’t yours to hold.
Call your spirit back,
gently and boldly, with love.

Gentle practice:
Stand outside and breathe out slowly three times.
On the third breath, imagine releasing every emotion that isn’t yours.

Tomorrow, we’ll explore finances, expectations, and the pressure December often brings.

The Empty Chair

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Emptiness carry’s its own weight, that slowly releases when noticed and nurtured with love.

There is a chair that waits,

its wooden frame holding

the shape of absence.

It remembers the weight

that once pressed into its seat,

the laughter that circled above it,

the warmth that is no longer there.

An empty chair is more than furniture.

It is a witness.

It holds silence the way a vessel

holds water,

quietly, steadily,

until the silence overflows.

You find yourself staring at it,

wondering if absence

can ever be filled

or if it must simply

be carried.

And still,

the chair remains,

a quiet sentinel

for what once was,

and what might one day return.

Tomorrow, the echo speaks…

The chair sits quietly, but it speaks of more than absence. Tomorrow, the echo will grow louder, carrying the sound of rejection through the walls.
