What if…You allowed yourself to receive love..?
So what does this mean exactly? I sometimes think I’m still working this out for myself. The concept of love is different for each of us. It can be the expressing of love to another, doing a selfless act for someone, saying no to an opportunity because you know it will be unhealthy for you. Sadly, more often than not, we reject the love of those closest to us. We counter a compliment either out loud or in our heads.. perhaps along the lines of ‘they’re only saying that to make me feel better’ vs actually believing that it is the truth.
So we have to ask ourselves, why are we not able to receive the love shown to us by others? There may have been moments in your life where you were seeking love and it was not received, this can often stem from our childhood.
Our needs for love were not met and we started to believe we were not worthy of it. If this happens enough we start to slowly close off our hearts, we place an invisible shield there for protection. Any love shown from that point rebounds off and isn’t received. Better to be this way than to experience the pain of unrequited love. Over time, we believe this story of not being worthy until it seeps into all aspects of our lives; lost friendships, unhealthy habits, disconnect from our bodies. Externally we tell the world that we are ‘fine’…. But are we….. ? Everything starts and stops with us, as individuals. It’s time to start the journey back to believing you are worthy of love and all that it can bring to your life. You’ve taken the first step already simply by reading this post. What will you do next? Why not close your eyes and listen to your heart, it’s waiting to talk to you..
