I love helping people receive.

(And duh, of course, I’ve done, and continue to do, my own work with it.)

In the past, struggle was my badge of honor.

If only they could see how hard it is for me over here, all by myself.

Or it was worthiness:

Can I really have this?

Followed immediately by:

What will everyone else think?

And it’s important to note: this is usually happening SOOOO fast that we don’t even see it.

We simply follow the same train of thought and embodiment pattern because it’s automatic. It’s deeply programmed into our subconscious minds and bodies.

So… hard work and holding back on my true desires was what I did.

It felt natural. Comfortable.

And it also sucked!!

I could keep myself a victim to my current situation. And in doing that, I didn’t have to take responsibility for my own involvement, which also meant…

I couldn’t claim my power as an active co-creator in whatever showed up in my life.

There’s a moment when you really start to understand just how powerful you are.

And once you get past a certain turning point, you can’t turn the lights off.

Momentum starts moving in the direction of becoming incredibly conscious, not only of your own self-talk, but of how everyone else is framing their reality, too.

So, if you’re still making it hard…

Are you aware of the embodied patterns and self-talk you’re subscribing to on a daily, hourly basis?

For example:

What are the first few thoughts you have when you wake up?
(This is when you can be particularly susceptible to—and empowered to—set the course of your day.)

Can you see where you block receiving in your life? And where you have no problem?

Are you getting the support you need? Are you surrounding yourself with people who celebrate your growth and challenge you when you’re playing small?

Because yes, growth is a little (and often a lot) uncomfortable.

But once you get the hang of it, you become more and more willing to dive into the places where true transformation occurs.

Here’s to enjoying the ride…

Love,
