In this month’s Heart-to-Heart we’re talking about receiving, how vulnerable it is, how to receive gifts well, the energy of receiving, and how to practice receiving this holiday season.

 

Journal Prompts:

  • Write about times you got a gift and didn’t receive it as well as you could have. What was happening internally for you?
  • When you hug someone do you focus more on the hug you’re giving or the hug you’re receiving?

Quotes:

  • Deserving is not a prerequisite for receiving.
  • Gift receiving mantra: I’m allowed to receive this.
  • Receive first. Evaluate second. 
  • You don’t have to believe you deserve something to receive it well. 
  • You don’t have to deserve something to receive it well. 
  • Receive the love first, even if the gift isn’t for you

 

Announcements:
