Recently I was reading a book by Julia Cameron who wrote, “The universe is prodigal in its support. We are miserly in what we accept.”
Most of us are uncomfortable receiving and there’s a good reason for this. Psychologically, it feels better for us humans to feel like we are giving more than we are getting. This makes receiving hard because our brains, which like things to be even, are always calculating whether we’ve done enough to deserve the gifts or service or abundance we have.
Today on this special Thanksgiving episode of the podcast, I’m bringing your attention to your ability to receive and the thoughts that get in the way of us fully receiving the abundance of our lives. I think getting better at receiving makes your whole life better, enriches your enjoyment of it, and makes all your relationships sweeter.
Today we’ll talk about how to get better at receiving the goodness that is already present in your life, and I’ll share some ideas, thoughts, and feelings to help you practice noticing and receiving the gifts of your beautiful life.
