(@themovementmaestro)<\/a> I\u2019ve chosen a word for the year. Or rather, it chose me. As soon as I opened up to the concept, it just fell into my brain.<\/p>\nHere it is: EXPAND.<\/h4>\n
When I first heard it I thought, of course! This must be about my business! I want more followers on Instagram, I want more students, teach more lessons, I want more income\u2026But pretty quickly, it was clear to me that it was about more than that. It’s about very deliberately choosing what I want to expand in my life. Or in a situation.<\/p>\n
What do I want more of? What do I want to give more space to?<\/h4>\n
It\u2019s so easy to get diverted, to be dragged along a main stream narrative or get emotionally involved in things that are happening in the world. To become quiet and listen within, and then being very intentional about what I want to live, to be, to create is more important than ever.<\/p>\n

What do you want to expand, give more space to? Right now? This year? Generally in life?<\/h4>\n
Also: I don’t know about you, but I did not grow up with the notion that I should be \u201eexpanded\u201c. It was more about staying small and definitely not about standing out.
\nThe one thing, come to think of it as I’m writing this, that I was actually encouraged to stand out in was playing music. I started playing the violin when I was four – piano and singing became important too at a later point – and I was definitely encouraged to give it more space. And that was a gift!
\nBut as a person, as me, I always felt I was too much.<\/p>\n
I believe there is enough space for all of us!<\/h4>\n
And it’s not about overpowering others, or invading someone else’s space. It’s about embracing all that we are and knowing that that’s exactly how we are supposed to show up on this planet.<\/p>\n
So here’s to us expanding into who we truly are and growing into our full selves!<\/p>\n
