Creating a Divine Balance of Giving and Receiving

Have you ever...⠀
⠀
Given so much of your energy to someone or something and then just felt fucking drained afterwards?⠀
⠀
Were you GIVING more than you were RECEIVING?⠀
⠀
Did you speak up and stand up for yourself?⠀
⠀
It took me a long freaking time to learn this lesson.⠀
⠀
I used to be a people pleasure through and through ⠀
⠀
I’d give, give, give even when my heart was telling me not to⠀
⠀
I didn’t know how to express myself— I had no boundaries and I just wanted to make others happy which caused me to completely neglect myself⠀
⠀
And the WORST part — when someone would try to give me something, I’d completely shut them down “No, no, it’s ok. Thank you.”⠀
⠀
This is NOT LIFEEEE⠀
⠀
Allowing yourself to RECEIVE in exchange for your own valuable energy — that’s some REAL Self Love ⠀
⠀
How you receive one thing is how you receive everything so if you’re not good at receiving compliments, kind gestures, people buying you coffee/lunch/dinner, gifts, money— if you feel weird receiving one thing, you’re literally blocking yourself from receiving so much of your manifestations⠀
⠀
⠀
Real Self love is valuing yourself to the point that you allow yourself all the goodness this universe has to offer you. And to do that— you gotta be able to speak your truth, stand up for your highest self & set boundaries for what you do & don’t deserve!!⠀
