You have been pushing hard… you know how to get shit done.
But how do you know you are ready to receive?
… receive the promotion
or the guy or the money or the “well done”?
Answer: Does it feel good?
If it feels good to receive a compliment or feels good to receive a gift, you are ready.
But if you deflect… not so ready.
If you feel uncomfortable when someone praises you.
If you feel like it’s not a reward you deserve because you haven’t worked hard enough and struggled enough…
You aren’t open to receiving.
Try this:
Hold it in your mind that you are allowing abundance to come in.
There are no hoops you must jump through to deserve abundance.
Any way things come to you, welcome them.
You don’t have to control the how or the why things flow to you.
Just allow and enjoy.
| People keep telling me, “Mercury is in retrograde.” I don’t know about that, but when life is challenging, I ask myself two questions. What is working in my life? What am I proud of? No matter what else is going on, there is still a lot working in my life. These questions make me feel better. I hope they at least make you pause and take a breath. I have a hunch you have a lot to be proud of. |
Last night I told my husband that I proclaim this the “Year of Health”.
I don’t think he knows how this will impact him yet which is probably for the best.
I am moving from my “he’s an adult and can take care of himself” philosophy to a new “it’s time to get with the program” posture.
I don’t usually try to influence him, so I am fascinated to see how this goes.
I think it totally depends on my approach.
We shall see.
In the meantime, I am setting my own goals and I want to share a goal setting brain-hack so you can get your 2023 rolling.
Brain Hack:
When you write your list of goals for the year, make a list of things you want.
Here’s the trick: Write not just things you want that you don’t have, include things you want that you already have.
Usually, you will find as you write that most things you want you already have.
Then, every third or fourth item on the list, throw in a want that you have yet to get.
When you read this list, your brain will notice all the abundance you have in your life.
Read the list periodically.
Your brain, which loves efficiency, will gradually assume that you have everything on the list.
Your brain will read it as a list of all the wonderfulness in your life.
This means you are operating from a place of “future you” … the person who already has everything you want.
Then take it one step further.
Let “future you” tell you how you achieved those goals.
I think you will be surprised by her brilliance.
You are welcome.
