Receiving is a Skill that has to be Cultivated


Listen Later

Episode 10 -   We all know how to give a gift, but do we really know how to receive?  Receiving is a skill that we can learn, it's a part of a loving act.

Top Takeaways: 

·         [1:56] Giving is action-oriented.  We are in charge of this situation.  Doing for someone else makes us feel good because our brains are wired to get pleasure from giving.  

·         [3:08] So why is it so hard to receive?  I had trouble receiving from others because I didn’t believe I was worthy of their love. My ego thought if my mother allowed my trauma, she didn’t love me, and therefore, no one else would either.  

·         [4:32] How do we overcome our unworthy feelings when receiving?

·         [5:40] How do we get better at receiving?  Understand our gratitude and thanks are enough in return for a gift we received.  

·         [7:02] So how do we receive a compliment, graciously?

·         [8:08] How do we learn to receive help?

·         [9:07] Are we balancing our giving and receiving?

·         [10:20] Wholeness comes from both sides of giving and receiving.  We have to both give and receive from the heart for our souls to grow and expand.  

·         [11:26] Moving Forward by Giving and Receiving from the Heart
