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
