Shoot me a text! Iād love to hear what you think š
Have you ever received a compliment that made you squirm, or a gift that left you scrambling for a way to reciprocate? Let's uncover the beauty of simply saying 'thank you' and acknowledging our own worthiness. In our latest heart-to-heart, I, Steph, share my own revelations on how accepting acts of kindness transformed my life. We'll venture into the realm of gratitude together, embracing the mantra "The more grateful I am, the more abundance I receive." It's not just about saying thanks; it's about allowing ourselves to truly receive and recognizing the awesomeness within us that invites a continuous flow of positivity and greatness into our lives.
As we toast to the journeys of self-love and mindfulness, remember: embracing your worth and opening your heart is a marathon, not a sprint. This episode reaffirms the idea that everyone is deserving of love and capable of receiving it in full measure. We'll look ahead to the next installment, where we'll discuss the significance of living in the moment, and I'll leave you with a wish for peace, love, and joy. So, raise your glass to genuine connections, to self-compassion, and the art of receiving the abundance that life has to offer.

Can I already say that?
Well, good, because I'm doublegrateful.
Now, without further ado, let'spull out today's mantra from my
mantra generator and look atwhat will guide us through our
day and our week.
Drum roll, please.
Today's mantra is the moregrateful I am, the more
(02:07):
abundance I receive.
Ooh, good one.
The more grateful I am, themore abundance I receive, mm.
Where attention goes, energyfollows my friends.
Yes, what you put out there youget back.
More of that's bad grammar, butin there there's some truth.
(02:29):
Whoo, gratitude.
It's that welcome mat forabundance and if you've got the
door locked and the lights off,you are limiting the amount of
wonder and awesome that isprimed and ready to come and
knock on your door.
The more grateful I am, themore abundance I receive.
Gratitude grounds us and itroots us in pleasure and
(02:56):
high-vibing nature of receiving.
It's a reflection of ourworthiness and a total
calibration and celebration ofyour ability to attract what you
deserve.
The more grateful I am, themore abundance I receive.
Yes, abundance, mm.
It's time to let go of thatscarcity mindset Ooh, I lived
(03:19):
with that for a long time andit's time to remind ourselves
that there is more than enoughfor everyone.
There is enough love, there isenough money, there is enough
happiness, there is enough joy,there is enough peace, there is
enough to go around and you aremore than worthy of your fair
(03:39):
share.
It is time to open your armsand get ready to receive.
The more grateful I am, themore abundance I receive.
The act of being present andtapping into that joy and
thankfulness that comes withreceiving sets the sage for us
to accept and love where and whowe are and see that we can, as
(04:04):
a result of our gratitude,attract and magnetize the great
things that we want in our life.
The more grateful I am, themore abundance I receive.
So let this be your guidingstar today and this week, while
you focus on receiving all oflife's gifts with grace and get
(04:29):
more comfortable with the act ofreceiving.
I used to have a really hardtime receiving compliments,
actually, and I thought it justcame off as humility, but little
did I know I was blocking andresisting a lot of life's gifts
from finding me.
And once you make that shiftand shine light on your
(04:51):
worthiness through gratitude andlet down some of those walls
that are blocking you betweenyou and your greatness, you will
start to see a flow of thingscome into your life.
And really this is a warningget ready, because you are
worthy of so much darling thatwhen you do this work, it's just
(05:13):
like Christmas every day.
So I want you to use thismantra to root yourself in
gratitude.
When you're listing all thegreat things in your life which
is an amazing ritual I do rightbefore I fall asleep I just
start listing all the greatthings in my life, all the great
things in my day, and, trust me, I sleep like a sweet baby
angel.
And when you feel yourselfcringing at like a compliment or
(05:37):
somebody celebrating youbecause you certainly deserve it
you know that compliment orthat gift lean on this mantra
and remind yourself to shiftinto gratitude.
It may feel awkward at first,in fact, I promise it will feel
awkward at first, but with a bitof repetition and a bit of
practice, you will feel more andmore comfortable as the gifts
(06:01):
start to flow into your life andI don't mean this from like a
woo woo place.
This isn't about manifestation.
This is about living in yourtruth of you being awesome.
That's just a fact.
There's nothing I can do aboutit.
Now that we are rooted ingratitude and self love, let's
(06:24):
dig in a little bit more totoday's theme, which is learning
to receive.
Today, we're going to dive intoa topic that might hit close to
home the art of receiving.
If you're a people pleaser,you're probably familiar with
the cringy struggle ofgracefully accepting compliments
or a gift, or even a helpinghand.
(06:46):
But fear not, moderino.
In today's topic review, I'mgoing to dig up the reasons
behind this challenge.
Plus, we're going to discoverthe empowering path to embracing
the beautiful gift of receiving, because grace looks good on
everyone and we are worthy oflife's many, many gifts.
Let's get good at the art ofreceiving.
(07:09):
Picture this You've justreceived a compliment about your
incredible work on a project.
Was your work incredible and youknow it?
Sure, but instead of basking inthe glow of appreciation which,
despite popular belief, is notconceited you find yourself
deflecting the praise ordownplaying your achievements
(07:32):
and putting water in yourawesomeness, deluding it or even
attributing your success toluck.
Does this sound familiar?
Because I've totally been there.
Compliments actually used togive me a physical reaction,
like I was starting to thinkthat I was allergic to
compliments.
I mean not really, but kind oflike I just didn't know how to
(07:54):
take them.
And people pleasers inparticular often struggle with
receiving for a variety ofreasons.
It could be rooted in adeep-seated belief that putting
others first is virtuous, orperhaps there's a fear of
appearing conceited oregotistical or selfish For the
(08:14):
cause.
The inability to receive canlead to or worth, yet confirm
feelings of unworthiness andstop the development of a
healthy and loving and gorgeousrelationship with yourself.
And why would you want to missout on that?
But good thing you're here.
We got this.
For me it was a worthinessthing.
(08:35):
I knew I worked hard, I knew Idid a good job, but I didn't
believe it and I felt kind ofembarrassed that other people
could see it.
And let's just dig in to findout a bit more about that.
Let's look at the uncomfortableside of not receiving.
When the ability to receive isinterrupted and you're not alone
(08:58):
I was very handicapped withthis for a very long time we
find ourselves caught in a cycleof emotional constriction,
blocked closed for business.
The refusal regardless of whatlevel of consciousness you feel
this way to accept compliments,gifts or help becomes a
(09:19):
self-imposed barrier.
You block the flow of positiveenergy flowing into your life
and it's time to unblock thatdamn.
Those beavers are not invited.
This self-imposed resistancenot only reinforces feelings of
inadequacy, aka lies, but alsolimits our capacity for genuine
(09:40):
connection, relationships bothwith ourselves and with other
people.
They become strained as theinability to receive denies the
reciprocity essential in healthybonds.
So here today, we're going tobe here to reinforce the truth
that you deserve all thatpositivity.
So let's keep digging, thankyou.
(10:02):
An important principle that wewant to address right out of the
gate is that welcomingpositivity into your life is key
.
When we resist, we miss out onthe nourishment, those vitamins
that come from shared moments ofjoy.
That's right.
Vitamin positivity is part of ahealthy diet, all the good
(10:23):
stuff we inherently deserve.
Ultimately, the absence of thisvital skill the skill of
receiving with gratitude andgrace is outright, robbs us of
the richness that life is hereto offer, when all we have to do
is get good at the simple actof embracing and allowing the
kindness that surrounds us to bepart of us.
(10:45):
Let's take a moment to thinkabout how it feels when
receiving becomes a challenge.
You might find yourself caughtin a loop of discomfort or
anxiety or even guilt when facedwith kindness or appreciation.
Maybe you're not used to it,maybe you didn't get a lot of it
, maybe you don't currently geta lot of it, so it feels kind of
(11:07):
foreign when it shows up.
It can even go so far as tolimit how you perform because
you want so badly to avoid anyrecognition or praise.
Ew, gross, no more.
Let's unpack how to get backinto our lane of worthiness.
Here's a few scenarios thatmight sound maybe a bit familiar
(11:28):
.
If compliments become a sourceof anxiety, if you ever received
a compliment and felt like animmediate urge to deflect it or
pass on the credit onto somebodyelse, the discomfort of
accepting praise can be atelltale sign of a struggle with
receiving, if gifts feel like aburden.
So instead of joyfullyaccepting the gift, looking
(11:52):
someone in the eye and sayingthank you, you may find yourself
overwhelmed by thoughts ofreciprocating or worrying that
you're not deserving of suchgenerosity.
And we're here to put thosefeelings in the garbage.
But don't worry, we'll replacethem with something better.
And maybe you're feeling areluctance to seek help.
So people pleasers will oftenfind it challenging to ask for
(12:17):
help, even when they truly needit.
There's this fear ofinconveniencing other people or
being perceived as a burden thatis completely not aligned with
a people pleaser, and it's areally hard hurdle to navigate,
and understanding the roots ofthese feelings is really the
(12:37):
first step towards transformingthe way you approach receiving.
So why do we struggle Like?
That's kind of the how westruggle, but why?
Well, sometimes fear of beingseen as selfish is what prevents
us from actually receiving.
(12:57):
So people-pleasers will oftenprioritize the needs of others,
as is in the name, and there's afear that acknowledging your
own desires or accepting praisemay be perceived as selfish.
And it's essential to realizeand recognize a couple of things
Number one, that receiving doesnot diminish your generosity.
(13:19):
And two, it complements it.
And then digging into your lowself-worth, which, once again,
we are slowly moving into thepast version of ourselves.
These deep-seated feelings ofunworthiness are real and it can
make it difficult to acceptcompliments or gifts Now
remembering that you aredeserving of love, of kindness
(13:43):
and all the good things thatlife has to offer.
So, in a world where we'reconditioned to prioritize others
, remember to put yourself backin that top spot.
Society, or even the way thatyou were raised, can often
glorify selflessness.
I know that was my environmentgrowing up, and growing up as a
(14:03):
people-pleaser, you might havebeen conditioned to believe that
putting yourself first issomehow wrong, and it's time to
challenge this narrative andembrace the importance of
self-care.
And that's why you're here andthat's not to say that you were
taught wrong or have been goingdown the wrong path.
The fact is is that it's takenyou this far and you're simply
(14:27):
ready to move in anotherdirection.
And that's growth, honey, andyou're allowed.
This isn't about burning thebridge that got you here.
It's about looking forward towhere you want to go.
Now let's shift gears a bit andexplore some practical tips to
help you become a more gracefulreceiver.
(14:48):
So now I've got five tips forembracing the art of receiving.
Number one practice mindfulness.
You'll see this at the top of alot of my lists.
Be present and in the momentwhen receiving compliments or
gifts, allow yourself to fullyabsorb the positive energy and
let go of any thoughts thatdiminish your worthiness.
(15:09):
Remember this may feel a bitdifferent or weird at first, but
getting used to good things cantake some time.
Number two flip that narrative.
Instead of viewing receiving asa selfish act, see it as an
opportunity to strengthenconnections and create a more
balanced exchange of energy inyour relationships.
(15:32):
Rejecting someone's generositywill actually cause a rift
between you and thatrelationship you have with the
other person.
So keep that in mind.
Challenge negative thoughtswhen you catch yourself
deflecting praise or resisting akind gesture.
Just pause and challenge thenegative thoughts.
Remind yourself that acceptinglove and kindness is not a sign
(15:55):
of weakness but a testament toyour open heart.
And you've got to start small.
Then, by accepting complimentsgracefully, a simple thank, you
can go a really long way inreshaping your relationship with
receiving.
As you become more comfortable,gradually extend this practice
to other areas of your life.
(16:17):
And, number five, redefineself-worth.
Acknowledge that yourworthiness is not contingent on
constant giving or perfection.
Place your imperfections andrecognize that receiving is a
beautiful aspect of the humanexperience.
Your journey to self-lovebegins now, darling, you are
(16:42):
worthy of love, of kindness andall the beautiful things that
life has to offer.
Embracing the art of receivingis not a selfish act.
It's a powerful step towardscreating a healthy and loving
relationship with your fine self.
So let go of the fear, banishthe guilt, bring your heart to
(17:02):
the incredible joy that comesfrom gracefully accepting the
gifts of life.
And with that, moderinos, I willleave you to go.
Take on the world as your bestand most gorgeous self and, if
you're hearing me for the firsttime, welcome you, gorgeous
human.
Thank you so much for beinghere.
(17:22):

Now, before I let you go, justremember it's a marathon, not a
sprint.
You don't have to changeovernight.
And, number two, you aredeserving, you are enough and
(17:47):
your capacity to receive is atestament to the boundless love
that lives inside you.
It's already there.
Cheers to a future filled withopen hearts, genuine connections

(14:48):
So now I've got five tips forembracing the art of receiving.
Number one practice mindfulness.
You'll see this at the top of alot of my lists.
Be present and in the momentwhen receiving compliments or
gifts, allow yourself to fullyabsorb the positive energy and
let go of any thoughts thatdiminish your worthiness.
(15:09):
Remember this may feel a bitdifferent or weird at first, but
getting used to good things cantake some time.
Number two flip that narrative.
Instead of viewing receiving asa selfish act, see it as an
opportunity to strengthenconnections and create a more
balanced exchange of energy inyour relationships.
(15:32):
Rejecting someone's generositywill actually cause a rift
between you and thatrelationship you have with the
other person.
So keep that in mind.
Challenge negative thoughtswhen you catch yourself
deflecting praise or resisting akind gesture.
Just pause and challenge thenegative thoughts.
Remind yourself that acceptinglove and kindness is not a sign
(15:55):
of weakness but a testament toyour open heart.
And you've got to start small.
Then, by accepting complimentsgracefully, a simple thank, you
can go a really long way inreshaping your relationship with
receiving.
As you become more comfortable,gradually extend this practice
to other areas of your life.
(16:17):
And, number five, redefineself-worth.
Acknowledge that yourworthiness is not contingent on
constant giving or perfection.
Place your imperfections andrecognize that receiving is a
beautiful aspect of the humanexperience.
Your journey to self-lovebegins now, darling, you are
(16:42):
worthy of love, of kindness andall the beautiful things that
life has to offer.
Embracing the art of receivingis not a selfish act.
It's a powerful step towardscreating a healthy and loving
relationship with your fine self.

gifts of life.
