I was not always able to receive. I'm 42. I have been learning to receive gracefully and with Joy, without guilt the last few years.
It's been a journey of unlearning, of letting go of my fears, of accepting that receiving was not making me weak or dependant. Really receiving, without any guilt, any thoughts of I should pay it back somehow.
Understanding that being happy and grateful, sending this energetically to the other who is sending you a compliment or this or that can be plenty and just what they need. Remembering how good it feels when I do offer something and that not receiving fully is robbing the other from this joy.
and you? are you good at receiving? Are you struggling? What's the thing that has been good for you to make it easier?
I want to know.
