It’s interesting what and how much do we let ourselves to receive. Some people find it very easy to accept life’s gifts and opportunities. Some people find it difficult to accept. Happiness, caring, material goods, compliments, abundance, attention, thoughtfulness, help. For some reason it blocks the flow. Fortunately, these blocks can be unblocked. There are many ways to do this, coaching for example, but of course the first step is always recognition.
Unless we are aware of our patterns, we can’t begin to unblock them. But if someone has the desire to change, they can find the way to do so. Then it is possible to work with our limiting conditions, to find the reasons why a particular pattern or limiting belief system may have developed, and with persistent inner work we can rewrite these patterns of functioning.
These are usually deeply rooted: in childhood, in youth, as a result of disappointments, but frequently they may also come from ancestral or even collective imprints.
I’m the type of person who likes to know what is behind the blockages, I like to dig deep into my own depths to find out why. For me, understanding helps me to transform.
Once in a very deep inner work inspiring situation, it was shocking to be confronted with a belief that I could not be happy…like really, really happy…and then to add to that, „I don’t deserve it”, „I’m not good enough”, not wanting too much, settling for the „little, but certain” rather than the „uncertain more”. It never occurred to me that there could be a „certain more”. It could be anything, material goods, caring, manifestations of love, abundance in general. We often keep ourselves „small”.
But I could also mention the difficulty of asking for help. I’d rather suffer, but not ask for help because then I’m weak. I have to do everything myself. Can you relate to this or a similar inner monologue?
These can also be worked on in coaching and the results come. Self acknowledgement for a start. So you can be proud of yourself, of your work, of your achievements, of what you have accomplished and created in life. Your children. Your abilities. Because everyone has something special and unique that they are the best at, and that they can use to lift the lives of others.
