Receiving is harder than giving, son.

But gifts are made to be accepted.”

—Dani Harper, Storm Warned

This week I want to talk about receiving.

Think about it for a sec.

🎁🎁🎁

For most of us, we are great at giving!

We love to give gifts, compliments, help,

an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on.

BUT, I've noticed something a bit interesting throughout

my coaching career-

I find that many of us have difficulty

RECEIVING

Throughout our lives, many of us have been taught to

remain tough, strong and independant and that asking for help

can be seen as a sign of weakness.

This also leaks into how we accept help from others.

I too suffer from this, so hear me out-

Even something as simple as receiving a compliment is a challenge.

What do I mean?

For the next week, notice how you respond when you receive a compliment.

Someone might say to you,

"I love your hair" or "Thats a pretty sweater"

and listen to what you say...

"this old thing?" or "OMG, my hair is a disaster"

I get it! (and I've done it myself)

Why do we deflect compliments or other offerings?

BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRAINED TO BE STRONG, INDEPENDANT, NOT TOO SELF-INDULGENT,

and that anything that focuses on us- makes us uncomfortable.

There, I've said it!

What's more, is that this leaks out into us not being open to receive HELP.

Even when it comes to our emotional well-being and our longing to

quiet our minds, get unstuck and live a purpose driven life.

So, How are you planning on making 2025 a great year?

Here's where I come in...

I'm super excited to present a new course coming in January (details to follow in the next few weeks) to help you create a

Pathway to Inner Peace

You'll be among the first to receive the full details and the special pricing.

Soooooooo,

as we slide into this week of

Holy Days

Pay attention how you receive-

compliments, gifts, offers of help and

Most of all, listen to how you speak to yourself.

Many people I know aren't very kind or compassionate with themselves. Are you one of them?

Many people I speak to say that they know what their blocks are~ but they still can't seem to get out of their own way

Just for today, notice your self-talk- and begin to flood your energy with self-compassion.

Wishing you a very Merry, Happy, and Blessed

Peace-filled, Joy-filled Holiday!!

Love,

cathie
